Sarah is confronted by Jimmy Dean, a determined businessman who wants to buy their property, and his conniving daughter, Lorna.

During a heated confrontation, Lorna accidentally hits a switch that surges electricity into the oven, bringing the gingerbread man to life.

The group tries to lock the Gingerdead Man in the freezer while Sarah attempts to call the police, only to find the phone line dead.

Betty loses a finger and is forced into the oven, while Julia is knocked out with a frying pan and left in the freezer.

As Jimmy Dean arrives to pick up Lorna, the Gingerdead Man steals his car, and, using a rolling pin to operate the accelerator, kills him.

Amos and Julia ultimately push Brick into the oven and crank the heat to full, destroying the cookie.

One of the cookies is purchased by a woman, along with a box of pastries, which she plans to send to her sister in Los Angeles, setting the stage for the sequel.

Production of the film dates back to around 2001, with an initial script written by William Buttler that was eventually rewritten and heavily changed.

The Gingerdead Man was originally intended to be a fully CGI character, resembling the Pillsbury Doughboy.

The design was later changed to more closely resemble an actual gingerbread man cookie and was achieved with practical hand and rod puppets, as well as a full-body suit, created by John Carl Buechler.

Like many other Full Moon properties, the film spawned a franchise of sequels, crossovers, shorts, and comic books, as well as merchandise.

It included new monsters called "Tiny Terrors" (a pun on the unreleased Puppet Master Bobblehead line and an homage to the Full Moon’s many “killer toy“ properties)[citation needed] On July 16, 2008, Charles Band announced a third film, Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver.

The film was released on September 13, 2011, and sees the Gingerdead Man travel back in time to slash his way through a Roller Disco Competition.

The first issue, The Gingerdead Man: Baking Bad #1, was written by Brockton McKinney (Ehmm Theory, Killer Queen), with art by Sergio Rios, and variant covers by the creator of Zombie Tramp, Dan Mendoza.

It comes with the DVD of the movie along with special features, and multi-grain cereal called "Nookie Crisp" or "Weedies" in reference to the characters.
