4) Gingerdead Man

Though there is nothing Christmassy about this murderous baked products compendium, gingerbread is THE most festive snack of the season and we needed an excuse to include this hilariously titled, terrifyingly weird movie on our xmas run-down list. Garey Busey plays the titular felon, a giant, evil gingerbread man who is cast from the ashes of a crazed killer sentenced to death in the electric chair. Oh, and cinnamon is added too: never forget the cinnamon.

The Gingerdead Man
You Guessed It: "Here's Gingey" Is Actually A Line Uttered In This Bonkers Film.

The Gingerdead Man is brought to life with a surge of electricity to the giant oven he's baking in and begins his murderous rampage using any means possible to extinguish a family of bakers. Cue plenty of manic giggling from the most demonic biscuit you'll find as well as B-movie slasher effects and gratuitous gore.

For such a niche and - some might argue - insane premise, its 60% rating on Rotten Tomatoes may come as something of a surprise but then again, a film of this imaginatively unhinged calibre only comes round once in a generation.

But let's not forget the equally deadly, increasingly ridiculous sequels: Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust and Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver. What about this year's spin-off, Gingerdead Man Vs. Evil Bong? Okay, so perhaps "once in a generation" was exaggerating but for surefire silly fun this Christmas, seek out this baker's bloodbath. Just prepare to never walk past a bakery without feeling a little worried again!
