Geeky Movie Items You Can Actually Buy

If there's one thing that's totally undeniable, it's that movies really do have an effect on us.

There's something about enjoying a great movie that makes us wish that we could live in that reality — or at least grab a piece of the action we saw to admire at home. That's why movie memorabilia is such a popular collector's hobby, and why so many people have massive collections of gear dealing with their favorite sci-fi films.

Most people are satisfied with a simple movie poster, but why stop there? These geeky movie items you can actually buy online could have been plucked right off the screen during your favorite movie scenes — and they're readily available for you to enjoy.

Gremlins are absolutely adorable — until they're given water at the wrong time. If you've ever watched Gremlins, then you probably already recognize this little guy as Stripe in his "not-cute" form.

This Evil Stripe puppet is made of movie-quality rubber, allows you to make him move and talk, and also stands a whopping two feet tall. He's a little bit scary, but that's OK. We all know he can be a cutie pie, too.

It just doesn't seem fair to talk about geeky movie items you can actually buy without bringing up lightsabers from the Star Wars movie franchise. These officially licensed props are made to movie detail specification, and feature saber designs from your favorite characters.

The coolest part about these lightsabers is that they ignite the same way you see them light up on the silver screen. They also have a hefty "feel" of a real lightsaber, as well as the classic lightsaber sounds you'd expect to hear.

Lightsabers that you can buy include Kylo Ren's, Darth Vader's, Luke Skywalker's, and Obi-Wan Kenobi's. What more is there to say? It's a must-have movie prop for any Star Wars fan.

You know, horror movies never seem as scary on the silver screen until you actually have something like that in front of your face. If you want a super-realistic movie prop that will strike fear into peoples' hearts, you gotta check out this Freddy Krueger glove.

The glove is built to be an exact replica of the gloves used in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and though it's made with fake leather, the metal is absolutely real. Terrifying? Absolutely.

Whether you're a huge fan of renfaires or just a major admirer of LOTR, it's impossible to deny the sheer awesomeness that is Gandalf the Grey's staff. One of the coolest geeky movie items you can actually buy right now is a SFX replica of his staff — complete with a light up top.

This is an officially licensed movie prop replica from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and that means you can expect a high level of detail in every facet of the staff's make. It's great for cosplay, hefty enough to be a real walking stick, and also just looks amazing when displayed at home.

Get this for your favorite geek, and they'll love you forever.

It's so meta, it's awesome in its own right.

This gorgeous ring is easily recognizable to any serious geek — it's The One Ring. It's the ring to rule them all, and now, you can wear it around your neck as you trek to work. Thankfully, there's no need to throw it in a volcano, since it's a prop ring and doesn't attract ring wraiths.
