The donut movie bucket list with movies where donuts are eaten for many reasons and one where donuts eat us. Several genres of donut movies – something for everyone.
Attack of the Killer Donuts
A chemical accident in a sleepy town turns ordinary donuts into bloodthirsty monsters. Unaware of the donuts’ danger, Johnny, Michelle and Howard sell them to unsuspecting customers. When the donuts start eating their victims, the only way the three friends can save their sleepy town is to track down the Killer Donuts down and destroy them. The final standoff is where it all began: Dandy Donuts.

Turn your donut movie into a party.
Of course you should eat donuts while you watch a donut movie!
Go out and grab a dozen and think of themed sprinkles or toppings you can add that would match your movie.
(There’s a Transformers chocolate mold on Amazon.)
Or, pump up the fun factor by decorating your freakshake with a donut. (See below.) You can use any topping, but these contain donut, cotton candy and meringue cookie in matching colors. Drip sauce or icing down the side of the glass and add matching colored sprinkles, sugar pearls or nonpareils.
