    Fun in small doses

    After a while, the pumpkin/cake/sugar work all looks the same, all of which would be barely edible - so maybe one or two episodes at a time just in the spirit of Halloween. Like most Food Network shows, they try to amp up drama before commercials. I.e., a piece falls off - "We're done we're screwed we're going HOME!" - then after the commercial, someone puts the piece back on. Whew!! Another hugely annoying Food Network "thing" is recycling contestants. Each additional outing, they get more into being a STAR and more obnoxious in their interviews. Then of course, everyone is a sore loser at the end, vowing revenge. American reality TV in action.

    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.

    Congratulations you killed your own show!

    You took away the pumpkin carving and replaced it with kiss ass cake bakers. Carla already did that and did it better. I've watched ten seasons, some more than once but I'm DONE with you until you bring back CARVING. You e also cut the prize in HALF while making more advertising dollar and your host SUCKS!

    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.

    The dramatics bring this show down!

    Halloween Wars is really enjoyable if you're there for the art. The drama in the show..the "tension" amongst the team members and the dramatics from the sugar sculptures that break, etc. is a little bit ridiculous. It's fun to watch, it's just a little annoying at times.

    • 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.
