Cruel and Unusual Death: The gay guy's death in the second movie where he gets a curling iron shoved up his ass. Also, the Gingerdead Man's deaths are also this, especially in the second movie where he gets crucified, set on fire, and shot several times for good measure.

Deus ex Machina: In the second movie, the puppets from the Film Within a Film suddenly turn out to be sentient and kill the Gingerdead Man. In the third movie, a couple of '70s kids who found and used the time machine earlier go forward in time and stop the Gingerdead Man from escaping the asylum and everyone who was killed comes back to life. They also somehow got a winning lottery ticket despite being minors, saving the roller rink from getting closed down.

Gambit Roulette: Findlemeyer's family scheme to bring him back to life apparently involved sending his ashes mixed with a gingerbread spice mix at a bakery, where he would then require to be cooked as in a human shape, with one of the employees cutting himself and leaving blood inside it and finally lightning striking the oven where he was being cooked.

Resurrected Murderer: Millard Findlemeyer was a criminal who attacked a diner and killed two of Sarah Leigh's family members. After his arrest, he was executed and cremated, with his ashes being sent to his Wicked Witch mother, who mixes the ashes with an enchanted gingerbread spice mix. She leaves the mix on the doorstep of the Leigh family's bakery, and they decide to use it to make a gingerbread man, only for it to be brought to life, reviving Millard, who proceeds to go on a vengeful killing spree.
