In a thrilling and chilling finale of The Late Late Show with James Corden‘s Great Halloween Bake-Off, four of the most horrifying and gruesome beings battled it out for the title of Star Baker. Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, the little girl from The Exorcist, and Josh Gad brought their terrifying skills to the baking arena, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

The competition was intense as the bakers faced their ultimate challenge – creating the cake of their dreams. With four hours on the clock, the stage was set for visually exciting, textually stunning, and taste sensation masterpieces.

For Josh Gad, who initially seemed out of place among the macabre enthusiasts, baking was a recent discovery. A self-proclaimed nice guy, he found solace and a reset in the world of baking. But, true to his character, he couldn’t help but add a touch of darkness to his creations. Perhaps it’s his way of balancing his normalcy with his love for torturing people, or maybe he just finds joy in defying expectations.

Reagan, the little girl from The Exorcist, showcased her talent with a lemon chiffon cake, paired with a French buttercream frosting. As she embarked on her culinary journey, she couldn’t help but question why she was there. But she was determined to make the best of the situation. After all, sometimes it’s the unknown that leads to the most extraordinary experiences.

As the clock ticked and the tension mounted, the bakers battled with collapsing corners, missing whisks, and rising anxieties. With only minutes remaining, they raced against time to perfect their bakes. The pressure was palpable as they pushed their limits to impress the judges.

Finally, the time was up, and it was Paul Hollywood’s turn to scrutinize the showstoppers. The cakes were presented one by one, each with its own unique flair and dark undertones. Some flourished while others fell short of expectations.

Josh Gad‘s creation proved to be the ultimate nightmare on a plate. His cake, representing a flayed torso symbolizing eternal damnation, stunned the judges. However, despite the shock value, it failed to meet the mark and secure him the coveted title.

In a surprising turn of events, Pinhead, the epitome of terror and suffering, emerged as the Star Baker. The underdog of the competition, Pinhead‘s triumph left both viewers and the other contestants in awe. It was a moment of pure victory and a testament to the power of pushing boundaries.

As the competition came to a close, the bakers reflected on their journey. Josh Gad, overwhelmed with emotions, expressed gratitude for the experience and the friendships formed. For him, this was just the beginning of his baking adventure.

The Great Halloween Bake-Off on The Late Late Show with James Corden captivated audiences with its unique blend of horror and culinary creativity. It proved that even the darkest characters have a softer side and that, sometimes, unexpected talents can be discovered in the most unlikely of places.
