Guillermo del Toro offers support to save horror bookstore

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has lent a helping hand to save a California-based horror and fantasy bookstore through a fundraising campaign.

Located in Burbank, Dark Delicacies is "the original all-horror independent book and gift store in the United States", the link read.

The Oscar-winning director shared the link to help the owners of the store Dark Delicacies - the "home of horror" - relocate.

Del Toro, whose fascination with monsters and creatures since childhood is well-documented, tweeted, "Horror lovers - help Dark Delicacies! please retweet and support!"
The owners of the store, Del and Sue Howison, said in the funding campaign that due to the "skyrocketed" rent in the area and their lease up in May, they decided to shift the store to a new available location
