Creepy Calendars: Why is it so hard choosing one?

Bigfoot? Aliens? Ghosts? Creepy clowns? Unexplained mysteries or weird tabloid news? Decisions, decisions. Particularly when it comes to creepy calendars. There are so many to choose from!

I don’t know about you, but I’m indecisive. Give me too many options and analysis paralysis stuns me for sure. That’s why I make it easy on myself. Year after year, I buy a Llewellyn’s Astrological Calendar. I pop it on my bathroom wall come January 1 and enjoy reading the horoscopes each month.

One year I bought A Year of Ghost Stories page-a-day desk calendar. (In addition to the astrology calendar.) I love the idea of desk calendars that give you fun facts each day. But in the case of the ghost stories calendar, there was one flaw. Me.

I enjoyed the daily info for the first few months—until I let the calendar get buried under a pile of junk on my desk. I didn’t dig it out again for months. In fact, it might not have even been until the next year. Since my desk mess has only continued to grow, I’ve decided it’s better to stick to my wall one.

Creepy Calendars Rabbit Hole

But recently, a friend sent a link to the 2025 Monsters & Mysteries Calendar. The cover is creep-tastic! But the Amazon listing also includes a photo of the back of the calendar. It shows what each month’s monster or mystery is and wow. Hauntingly beautiful graphics!

That started the tumble down the creepy calendars rabbit hole. You know how Amazon has that “Based on your recent views” section under whatever you’re looking for? That’s how I found the Crytids and Folklore Calendar.

I didn’t like the graphics as much on it, but it had an interesting layout. Clippings of newspaper headlines with a notecard detailing that month’s legend.

But that company, Poster Foundry, had several other offbeat calendars in general, but paranormal-oriented specifically, including an I Want to Believe UFO-centric calendar and Weekly World News Fantasy Tabloid Calendar.

The UFO calendar also included out-of-this-world pictures, but I’m a sucker for haunted headlines, so the tabloid one particularly appealed to me. I already bought this year’s astrology calendar, but since the tabloid one is a wall calendar, I could always hang it in my office. That way I could enjoy it and it could survive my desk mess.

Interactive Bigfoot Calendar

Another thing I’m a sucker for is search-and-find games. I’ve bought the little books from the racks in the grocery store checkout and played them on phone apps, but I never saw a calendar version. Until I came across the Searching for Bigfoot Calendar. How perfect is that? Everyone’s always trying to find him. This way, you can!

Horror Calendars

One of the other calendars Poster Foundry had was Retro Horror. It had a graphic novel feel that reminded me of a cross between Weird Tales magazine and Stephen King’s Creepshow.

I liked The Horror! calendar better, except for one thing: it’s a desk calendar. But it has horror movie quizzes and spooky history and really does seem to provide “terrifying trivia for fright fanatics.” I’m thinking of getting it and just not putting it in my office. Maybe I’ll keep it on the dining room table and read the daily tidbits while I eat breakfast or something.

Clowns and Taxidermy Calendars

I stumbled across the Clowns in the Wild and Taxidermy Fails calendars while searching Amazon for other cryptid and alien calendars. (FOMO got the best of me. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything else.)

Anyway, that search led me to the Blue Wolf Calendar Company, which also produces Cryptids, Aliens in our Midst, and The Lost Bigfoot Photographs wall calendars.

The graphics for each month for all the calendars are amazing—and hilarious!— Particularly the Bigfoot, alien, clown, and taxidermy ones. If I could afford to buy them all, I would. I’d be entertained every day, all year long.

But since I can’t, I know what I’ll do when I’m feeling blue or need a pick-me-up from now on. I’ll just go sneak a peek at the back covers on their listings, which show the photos for each month.

Bigfoot hang gliding, cliff jumping, and bear-lifting! An alien celebrating an office birthday party, going through a drive-thru in his UFO, and raking his crop circle in his front yard! What mastermind dreamed up these hilarious scenarios? Pure brilliance!
