Unbox the Terror This Halloween: Why Sterye’s Horror Mystery Box Is the Must-Have Halloween Gift This Year

Looking for the ultimate Halloween gift idea that’s creepy, collectible, and completely unforgettable? That’s where our Horror mystery box comes in. Packed with exclusive spooky merch, original Horror characters, and an exciting unboxing experience like no other.

Whether you’re shopping for a horror lover, building a next-level Horror Boo Basket, or just want to treat yourself to something this spooky season, this mystery box brings the screams (and the smiles).

🎃 What Is a Horror Mystery Box at Sterye?

A Horror Mystery Box is a curated bundle of Horror themed goodies, collectibles, and original horror merch but with a twist: you won’t know exactly what’s inside until you open it. We have example photos, and product descriptions for you to get an idea of what to expect in each box! We'll also have Halloween Mystery Boxes available, which are a mix of Horror and classic Halloween for those of you not wanting full Horror!

Our limited-edition box includes:

hand-picked horror items in every box, with 8-10 items in Base boxes, and 10-12 items in Ultimate boxes this drop.
Guaranteed Button-Eyes Plushie & 40oz Tumbler ($40) or Woven Throw blanket ($60) in premium box size.
Original Button-Eyes characters — exclusive horror plushies with backstories
Collectibles like enamel pins, mini figures, and spooky home goods
All packaged in custom-designed boxes that feel like a Halloween ritual in themselves

Each box is carefully assembled by horror fans, for horror fans and once they sell out, the items in that collection are gone for good. We usually do 4 different Horror collections for our Horror mystery boxes each year.

Why Horror Fans Are Obsessed with These Boo Boxes

More than just a Halloween gift, our Horror Mystery boxes (aka spooky boo baskets) are the perfect blend of horror with the fun and excitement of unboxing.

Unique original characters: From the knife-wielding Button-Eyes the stuffed bear to the sacrificed plushie goat Lucibaa, every button-eyes has a creepy origin story
No mass-produced junk: You won’t find these items in stores or anywhere else online.
3 tiers to choose from: Starting at just $20, with mid-tier and premium boxes for those looking for more fun.
Perfect for Halloween party prizes or spooky self-care nights.
