The Great British Baking Show has become such a popular TV show in recent years, in large part because the UK import is like a good cup of British tea: relaxing and warm. It's been an end-of-week tradition for me when new episodes hit Netflix each fall (The Great British Baking Show 2024 is currently releasing new episodes weekly). But this time of year is also spooky season, so if you enjoy baking shows but also love the jump scares and bloody shrieks of the horror genre, then there is actually a show you're going to want to check out: Killer Cakes.
Streaming on Freevee (which is appropriately available for free to all viewers on its on TV app or through Prime Video online), Killer Cakes features four teams of professional bakers and horror fans competing against each other by creating some bloody, disgusting and delicious cakes, with the winner taking home $20,000. The show is hosted by horror movie legend Matthew Lillard (Scream).
