    2023 IMPROVED!!!

    So glad that they returned to the original format and having Jonathon back as host for Halloween Wars this year!! Sorry, but having Zac Bagans as a guest host who was never in the studio was a bust. Bringing back the Small Scare and the live host is a huge improvement, as is cutting back the amount of babble from the judges throughout the episodes. The emphasis is back on the teams, which is where it all happens. The set definitely has improved since the original series, so this year is probably the best season ever. Thank you, Food Network, for finally getting the recipe right! Please don't mess with perfection!

    So disappointed this year

    What the heck is going on with this show? No Pumpkins! How can you have a Halloween wars competition without Pumpkin carving... I just don't get it. Also Zack is pathetic he hides in another studio and shows up in a tv screen only it's cheap and tacky and no one associates him with Halloween or at least I don't Aaron is the only reason people watch Ghost Adventures let's be serious. I am not going to watch the remaining episodes as they are terrible this far... so sad you ruined my families favourite Halloween Competition so very sad indeed.

    Better in Previous Seasons

    Halloween Wars WAS a wonderful show. They completely ruined it. One of the most interesting parts was seeing how a cake artist, a pumpkin carver, and a sugar artist could meld their skills. Well, that part has been entirely done away with. This is purely cake and sugar, they've done away with the pumpkin carver, which was always one of the most interesting parts.

    I'm not surprised they destroyed this after bringing in a fraud like Zak Bagans. His own show is comprised of the fake and contrived, a spirit which he seems to have brought to Halloween Wars.

    So glad Jonathan Bennett is back!

    Halloween Wars has been my favorite Halloween show I look forward to every year. I will tell you though, the last 2 seasons with Zak Bagans was bad, real bad. I couldn't even finish last season. They literally took everything away that made it great. The small scare and big scare are everything. The pumpkin carvings are a must! Don't remove that. Jonathan Bennett is the best host they've ever had and I was so sad they replaced him with the cringe Zac Bagans. Kudos for Halloween Wars to listening to all the reviews here and bringing back the old style of the show. You have made a bunch of viewers very happy. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.

    Season 11 is the worst season

    You ruined the show! My family are the biggest fans of this show and would wait all year to watch it. We were excited when it came out and now extremely unimpressed. Now it is completely ruined. It is not Halloween Wars without the pumpkin carving. Food Network already has tons of cake baking contests and now here is another. The uniqueness of Halloween Wars was the challenge to mix three mediums of pumpkin carving, cake, and sugar glass making. Now it is not anything special at all. Bring back Todd! First of all. Bring back the pumpkin carving!!

    Food Network you just lost a lot of viewers.

    • Trivia
      For season 11, the producers to decided to go without pumpkin carvers and sculpting with premade sheet cakes. Instead teams work on one big baked from scratch cake project. Instead of having a tasting element aspect, the cake itself would be sampled by the judges. For season 13 (September 2023), the show kept the set introduced in season 11 but returned to the original competition format and brought back the pumpkin carvers.
