“Halloween Wars” is a seasonally themed culinary competition of the Food Network.
Teams consist of a cake sculptor, a sugar artist, and a pumpkin carver competing for $50,000 dollars.
Artists must create a spooky culinary creation based on a specific theme each episode.
This year, fans expressed outrage after pumpkin carving was eliminated from the competition.
The Food Network was unable to retrieve enough pumpkins due to the COVID-19 pandemic shortage.
The show instead brought in “Ghost Adventures” paranormal investigator Zak Bagans to host.
Each episode will ask artists to create a piece of food art based on an item Bagans has in his museum.
Bagans owns a haunted museum in Las Vegas that contains 30 rooms of cursed artifacts.
The creations will be judged by Shinmin Li, Aarti Sequeira, and Eddie Jackson.
