4. Witches Halloween is truly a holiday for all ages. So, here's one for the family to enjoy. Suggested cinematic pairing: The Wizard of Oz

3. Brain Slugs Nothing says dessert like a fat, green parasitic slug that locks onto the head of its host and assumes total control. This way, though, we get to suck on its brains. Suggested cinematic pairing: Futurama, duh.

2. Bloody Butcher Knife Whether we're talking Norman Bates or Michael Myers, the butcher knife sticks out as one of the most iconic weapons in horror movie history. Suggested cinematic pairing: Halloween 1 and 2 (John Carpenter, not Rob Zombie)

1. The Evil Dead Seriously, this is the greatest thing ever. OK, so maybe the quality isn't as high as some of the other cupcakes on this list, but that's the way an Evil Dead cupcake should be. Similarly, Raimi's masterpiece may not look pretty, but it sure is fun. Odds are these cupcakes taste awesome, even if they won't win a beauty contest. And if you don't like it, perhaps you'd prefer a taste of boomstick. Suggested cinematic pairing: C'mon! This should be a no-brainer!

Honorable Mention: The Michael Myers Cake A Halloween Halloween Cake. Sure, it's not a cupcake, but it's awesome.
