Baking isn’t supposed to be terrifying. Sure, there’s working with heat and having to follow directions, but this Freddy Kreuger Cake may actually haunt your dreams.
Brought to us by Sideserf Cakes, the edible horror legend is made possible with some serious fondant sculpting and edible paints.
No mention if finger knives were used to cut into Freddy, but he looked scary good. See how it’s done below.
Last year, Starbucks tried to spook us with brains on our Frappuccino. This time around, they’ve concocted a real witch’s brew.
The Witch’s Brew Frappuccino isn’t made with tongue of bat and eye of newt, but it is orange creme-flavored and colored purple. AAAAHHH!!!
It also contains a swirl of “bat warts” (chia seeds), and is topped with vanilla whipped cream and a dusting of green “lizard scale” powder. Be kind to your barista, or you may end up a toad. Happy Halloween, everybody.
As if the Burger King Whopper with a side of Chicken Fries wasn’t scary enough, there’s now the Nightmare King.
BK’s Halloween offering will not only scare the bejeesus out of you by its mere appearance, but it’s been “scientifically” proven to induce nightmares. That is, if the actors in the short video below are to be believed.
The nightmare begins with a green bun [ooh!] quarter-pound of beef [aaahh!!], a crispy chicken fillet [make it stoooop!!], American cheese, bacon, mayonnaise and onions [I want my mommy!!]. Look for the nightmares to begin on October 22nd.

When the kids go to sleep after a long night of trick or treating, so starts the tradition of eating all of their candy. And, after walking around the neighborhood and having to interact with neighbors, you may also need a drink.
Thanks to wine app, Vivino, you can properly pair your Halloween candy and wine. Is your kids’ candy stash mostly Kit Kats? Then you may want to pick up a medium red. Want to down a few hundred Skittles? Look towards a dry white wine, such as a sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio.
Do you find yourself with a lot of candy corns? Grab a sparkling wine and start looking for a new place to live… your neighbors suck.

It’s almost Halloween, and you’ll need some desserts to freak out the kids. Red Velvet Cinnamon Roll Guts are here to help.
Brought to us by Kitchen Overlord, the “guts” are made just like regular cinnamon rolls, but with a twist. Actually, it’ll take a few twists, and some red food coloring to make them look like innards, but it should be worth it.
Especially when anyone asks, “What’s for dessert?” and you plop your yummy guts on the table. Best Halloween ever!
