Food Network Celebrates 35 Years of Freddy With Upcoming ‘Elm Street’-Themed Gingerbread Competition
The second season of Food Network‘s competition series ‘Haunted Gingerbread Showdown” kicked off earlier this month and has thus far included Ghostbusters, “The Mummy’s Ancient Curse” and “Aliens Attack”-themed episodes, but the season will come to an end this coming Sunday night with the coolest episode so far: “Scares on Elm Street“!
Yes, Food Network is celebrating the 35th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street on Sunday, October 27th with an Elm Street-themed gingerbread competition!
“Freddy Krueger is back and ready to menace three gingerbread artists as they face the ultimate nightmare.”
“The finalists have one week to create pieces that celebrate the 35th anniversary of A Nightmare on Elm Street. Host Clinton Kelly challenges the competitors to a trial by fire, literally, and judges Jamika Pessoa, Gesine Prado and Jason Smith will award the title and $25,000 prize to the one who creates the best nightmare-scape and pyrotechnics.”
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
