This ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ Gingerbread House Brings the Spirit of Halloween to Christmas
We’ve shared a few horror-inspired gingerbread houses over the years, including the Evil Dead cabin, the Bates Motel and the Overlook Hotel. This year, Syfy Wire brings us another epic gingerbread creation that’s right up our alley: Jack Skellington’s house from the ultimate Halloween/Christmas movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Over on the website, you’ll find a massive step-by-step guide written up by the house’s creator, but if you just want to see the finished product, you can check that out below!
Gingerbread artisan “Tye Rannosaurus” writes, “Because gingerbread houses are traditionally considered a Christmas project, I decided to do my take on Jack Skellington’s house at the end of the film when Santa makes it snow in Halloweentown and have fun imagining how he’d decorate his place for the occasion.”
“I’m shellacking this thing and holding onto it forever,” she jokes. “Literally forever, as in it’s going to be included in my will. Someone’s gonna get this thing when I pass on.”

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
