Rotten Recipes On The Way With The Official Garbage Pail Kids Cookbook!

It’s a good feeling when the year is 2022 and The Garbage Pail Kids are still going strong 37 years after their grossed-out introduction to the world via the mega card distributer, Topps in 1985.

Announced by famed GPK artist Joe Simko on his personal Instagram and the details reveal over on Bloody Disgusting, the official Garbage Pail Kids Cookbook is set to be released in the Fall of 2022 with over 35 disgustingly delightful recipes concocted by “Chopped” champion Elisabeth Weinberg and husband Matt Stine- you know the son of Goosebumps God, R.L. Stine, who will also have an introduction piece included in the book!

Something about the Goosebumps legacy and Garbage Pail Kids teaming up together just sounds so right.

Fully illustrated by forementioned legendary artist Joe Simko, the book promises to deliver on the faithful nostalgic look of the GPK style while looking gross, the recipes will be anything but and I have no doubts on this with Food Network champion Weinburg dishing out the goods. So, I highly doubt you’ll end up like Valerie Vomit over here.

The official Garbage Pail Kids Cookbook is set to be released on September 27th, 2022. You can pre-order your copy here at Amazon or on Google Play!

SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT: THE GAME Is Coming Down the Chimney

Don’t get caught on Billy’s naughty list! Perhaps those that contribute to this fantastic Kickstarter will be spared from a pair of antlers through the gut.

The producers of Silent Night, Deadly Night have teamed up with horror merch stalwart Fright-Rags to create a tabletop game based on the 1984 Christmas slasher classic. It’s available to pre-order through Kickstarter.

Working as a team, 1-4 players will need a strategy, bravery, and a little luck to stop murderous Santa Billy from reaching St. Mary’s Home for Orphaned Children! Roll the dice and make your move while Billy stalks along his path. Collect weapons, roadblocks, and snowballs to help your fight — and when that time comes, flick the spinner to determine your fate!

The board features five “kill zones” with new illustrations by Justin Osbourn, which will be revealed throughout the campaign. A deck of 30 action cards guarantees each game is unique, while a reversible board with a “naughty” drinking game version is available exclusively on Kickstarter.
“Over the last decade, the market for Silent Night, Deadly Night merchandise has exploded, meaning fans are still celebrating the film all these years later,” says executive producer Scott Schneid. “Adding a board game to the SNDN merch-verse is the perfect way for fans to experience the film in a new way.”

Schneid and fellow executive producer Dennis Whitehead are producing a 2022 reboot of the film alongside Anthony Mas, who led the design of the game. “It’s easy to learn, quick to play, and different each time you play,” notes Masi. “The Kickstarter features the exclusive ‘Naughty & Nice’ version, which offers a really fun spin on how the game is played.”

Fright-Rags founder Ben Scrivens adds, “I was really excited when the SNDN team approached us about working together on the board game, as we had already been thinking of entering that space. Anthony’s concept was already solid, so we had fun discussing all the different design elements and ways to make it even more fun and unique.”
