What is it about?
Here’s the synopsis from Food Network:
“Halloween Baking Championship returns with ten bakers vying for the title of champion and a $25,000 prize. The two-hour premiere unveils the setting for this year’s competition, the grand foyer of the Museum of Unnatural History, where frightening collections like Possessed Pests, Demon Masks, and a Vault of Bones beckon down every hall. Curator and host John Henson will lead the unsuspecting bakers through an arresting series of challenges inspired by the creepy exhibits. If the competitors’ desserts impress judges Stephanie Boswell, Aarti Sequeira, and Zac Young, they may survive to see another midnight, otherwise they’ll have to bake for their lives. Through it all, they’ll face a gauntlet of otherworldly wonders until the last baker standing wins. For the first Haunted Heat of the season, the bakers must put their best spooky memories to work to create desserts honoring their ‘Best Halloween Ever.’ The winner receives $1,000 and the top three bakers are safe while the remaining competitors face a ‘Bake for Your Life’ challenge to create ‘Hideous Mask Desserts’ inspired by the disfigured mask collection in the Hall of Humanity. The least successful baker will be eliminated.
“Fans can see how the judges’ most-impressive costumes come to life and join them behind the scenes to see how they spend a day on set by following #HalloweenBakingChampionship across Food Network’s social platforms.
