Oscar-winning Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has backed a fundraising campaign to save a horror and fantasy bookstore called Dark Delicacies in Los Angeles. The store, a beloved fixture of horror-fantasy fans, is situated in Burbank. The co-owner of the store, Del Howison, has started a GoFundMe campaign to finance a relocation of the store, reports ew.com.

Howison wrote on the GoFundMe page, "On December 3, 1994 my wife, Sue, and I opened Dark Delicacies, the original all-horror independent book and gift store in the United States." He added that the store soon came to be recognised as the 'home of horror'. The duo and their store came to be known around the world for their weekly signings and events where fans were able to interact with their favourite authors, directors, actors, composers, etc.
