Videogum's Official Pick For Your Halloween Movie Viewing Party

thumbnail icon: Videogum's Official Pick For Your Halloween Movie Viewing Party

As you have probably noticed, it is Blog Law that every blog on the Internet give you their favorite scary movie to watch on Halloween. If you don't, you have to go to Blog Jail! And then another blog has to commit a blog crime and get blog sentenced in order to come blog find you and help blog you blog break blog out. Classic.

Now, let's be honest about a couple of things. 1) you are going to watch whatever movie you want to on Halloween, because you are an adult, or a child with very poor boundaries and a "No Parents" sign on their bedroom door. This is basically just Blog Filler, when blogs do this. And 2) I don't like scary movies, and any recommendation I make will be incredibly unauthoritative. On Monday I'll get all these disappointed emails, like, "We took your advice and watched Bridge to Terabithia, but it wasn't very scary." And I will be like "OMG, what are you talking about, I had to put that movie in the freezer, Joey Tribbiani-style."

But Blog Law is Blog Law, and so I am going to recommend that you watch the same movie that I recommended you watch last year, because it is hilarious, and because I am lazy. The movie is called The Gingerdead Man, and it stars the voice acting of Gary Busey as a possessed blood-thirsty gingerbread cookie wreaking havoc on a shitty bakery full of retarded teenagers.

Why does that bakery have a walk-in oven? That oven is too big, you punk bitches! I think my favorite part of this movie is how everyone is allowed to leave the bakery at any time, but they just don't. This movie is so good. Seriously, you are going to love it. Again.

I don't know if you know this, but Millard Findlemeyer is Gary Busey's real name.

That movie is almost as silly as the time I almost knocked Davis Cross on his ass, because he was fucking asking for it. Scary Movie 2, my ass!

You know, I've met David Cross 43 times. And sure, the first 42, I was the asshole. Those were my bad. But that one's on him. I tried that time. You know David Cross... Cat's in the cradle. Silver spoon. The moon. All that.

Did someone come up with the name: "Gingerdead Man," and then create a movie around it or did someone think: "I've got a great idea for a movie about a murderous cookie that comes alive by mixing ashes, dough and blood," and after the fact came up with the name "Gingerdead Man?" Regardless, Spoiler Alert: amazing movie.

I watched this a few years ago when my friend picked it out in the movie store. The whole thing is TBS very funny and Gary Busey is Night of the Living Dead very scary. I'm totally gonna rent this tomorrow. Hope my friends are ready to puke up laughter! My life is tears of a clown very sad.

Um I used to work in a bakery that had a walk in oven. And that was a time in my life where I worked two full time jobs, the baker job from 4am-11 and then another job from 12-9. And I started to go crazy. From all the working and the getting up at 230 am every morning. So I would slowly start to be scared of the oven because it was so big and of course imagined myself getting stuck in it, horror movie style. One day while completely delirious from lack of sleep, out of the corner of my eye, I would have SWORN I saw a monster or some human shape come out of the oven. And I turned around and screamed. I then explained that it was the oven monster that made me scream. And that Einstein's in Sarasota, Florida hasn't been the same since.

I have a few issues with this cinema achievement.

1) How could a killer the size of a cookie kill people? He is so small!
2) How can he shoot a gun? Cookies don't have thumbs!
3) How did he turn that one teenager into some killer zombie? He must be a magical cookie killer.

I liked this better when it was called Jack Frost and/or Demonic Toys.

I've watched this 4 times...is the cookie human sized or just a standard cookie size? Because if he's human sized I can see how this may be terrifying.

I think he's the size of a slightly-larger-than average cookie, because of his size in comparison to the gun, and what I think is just an ordinary bread knife.

If the phrase "Augh Heck" is uttered every time someone slices their own arm open in this movie, i may have to watch it. But if i do that I think I'll just end up doing some of my own "Augh Heck"-ing about half-way through the movie

Holy crap, this movie was made by Charles Band, direct-to-video super-auteur of the 90s. I hope it's as wonderful as it looks. I'd hate for the guy to have peaked with Dollman Vs. Demonic Toys.

I imagine this clip being played right after the Gingerdead Man says "why don't you eat my you punk bitch?" And James Franco thinks "don't mind if I do!"
