Halloween Wars

Some of the great things about October and Halloween are when television shows embrace this time of year. One of the best examples of this is Halloween Wars on Food Network. This is a competition that pits the best of the best teams in sugar, cake and pumpkin carving against each other while they transform those elements into horrific creations.

Every week teams compete in two challenges: the small scare and the spinetingler. The winner of the small scare gains an extra assistant when they move onto to the larger spinetingler, which is the elimination round. Not only do they have to make a scene based on the parameters of the specific challenge, they also have to make a tasty treat the judges can eat, that will still fit into the scene. One team leaves the competition each week until only two remain for the final battle!

Here are some creations from past seasons:

As a creative person, who loves to bake, make treats...and of course, carve pumpkins, this show is right up my alley. I love to see what each artist can do, how they make a cohesive scene and the creepy factor overall.

I know what I'm doing for the next 4 weeks...
