[Video] Learn How to Make ‘Krampus’-inspired Evil Gingerbread Cookies
Fun Fact: Did you know Seth Green voiced one of the film’s gingerbread men?!
Michael Dougherty has a knack for creating horror villains that almost instantly become iconic, and like Trick ‘r Treat before it, he did just that with 2015’s Krampus. The film not only put us up close and personal with Dougherty’s own take on the titular Christmas beast, but also introduced us to Krampus’ legion of evil-doing helpers: elves, a nightmarish jack-in-the-box and, cutest of all, an army of killer gingerbread men.
If you’re making gingerbread cookies this holiday season, and you probably are (I know I am), why not make gingerbread cookies based on the gingerbread men from Krampus?!
As always, The Homicidal Homemaker has got us covered. In her latest tutorial video, Kaci goes through the step-by-step creation of Krampus gingerbread cookies!
“You can absolutely use store-bought dough to make these, but I’m sharing my coveted recipe for my favorite gingerbread dough,” she says. “The cookies are crisp on the edges, while remaining slightly soft and chewy on the inside. To make these look similar to the cookies in the film, I made my own DIY cookie cutter out of heavy-duty foil, but standard cookie cutters will work just fine.”

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
