Established in 2011, Burke & Hare Co was one of the first gothic candle brands! Would you believe that when we started, there were no other Ouija Board-themed scents or candles on the market? Fueled by our obsession with goth music, graveyards and Morticia Addams — we wanted candles and fragrances that reflected our (and your) unique tastes! So we made them! For far too long, we only had a small window to stock up on spooky-themed items — & Halloween is every day.
Since we know our goth babe customers love animals as much as we do, we have made a commitment to consistently donate to local shelters and rescues, to date our Howling Woods Halloween Candle alone has raised $15,350 (!!!), which we have donated to the Humane Society, Friends of the Forlorn Pitbull Rescue, Winston’s Wishes and PAWs New England. Plus, all products are *certified* vegan and cruelty-free!
In 2017, we also opened a store called October! Stocked with our beloved candles, we also brought in as many of our favorite dark artists and creators and hope to continue to build a brand alongside so many other talented independent artists!
