Let’s see; we’ve had a killer leprechaun, a killer snowman, a killer gingerbread man – what’s next? How about a serial killer that returns from the grave with a giant freaking muffin for a head? Have you seen the muffin man? Soon we will all get to see The Muffin Man, the new campy horror flick from gonzo Canadian indie director Blaine Wasylkiw, according to Fangoria. It’s amazing to think that this isn’t a Troma production, although Troma honcho Lloyd Kaufman will cameo in the flick. Quoting the synopsis from the film’s official website:
“Summer is over; the day-olds are a day older, and its business as usual at the struggling donut shop on Drury Lane. Chad, Jane, and the rest of the staff have no idea that the shop’s former proprietor – serial killing baker, Desmond Bailey – is about to return to the scene of his original crimes. Deformed, enraged, and possessed by a malicious demon, Bailey is more dangerous than ever. It’s up to Hank, the grizzled detective who ended the baker’s first killing spree, to convince the staff of the imminent danger. Will they heed his warnings before it’s too late, or suffer a delicious demise at the hands of the menacing murderer with a massive muffin for a head? The heat is on, the timer is set, and a new evil is on the rise!”
As the tagline goes, “He’s evil. And delicious.” He’s also a secret, as the actual look of the Muffin Man is currently being kept under wraps. I guess we’ll have to wait until this summer to see The Muffin Man when the DVD is currently being touted for release.
