TORONTO — Ahead of a month-long national free preview in October, Food Network Canada is getting a jump on Halloween as it begins its fall show premieres this week.
Season six of Halloween Baking Championship (six episodes x 60 minutes, plus 1×120) debuts today, September 14, at 9 p.m. Comedian John Henson hosts as eight talented bakers from across the U.S. create irresistibly spooky desserts. Judges Carla Hall, Katie Lee and Zac Young will determine whose frighteningly delicious desserts deserve the grand prize of $25,000 and the title of Halloween Baking Champion.
Also returning to Food Network Canada is Halloween Wars, (season 10, 6×60) premiering September 20 at 9 p.m. Before the new season’s debut, the channel will air the one-hour special Road to Halloween Wars at 8 p.m. In the new season, hosted by Jonathan Bennett, six teams each made up of an expert pumpkin carver, a cake artist and a sugar master battle it out as they create frighteningly fun Halloween-themed edible displays that are as scary as they are delicious. Their creations are judged by award-winning cake decorator Shinmin Li and horror film special effects master Todd Tucker. The last team standing takes home a grand prize of $50,000.
A new series premiering this fall on Food Network Canada is Outrageous Pumpkins (4×60). Debuting September 27 at 10 p.m., Outrageous Pumpkins is hosted by Alyson Hannigan and features four of America’s best pumpkin carvers coming together for a Halloween pumpkin carving competition. In three rounds of challenges, the talented artists use carving and sculpting tools ranging from toothpicks to saws to execute their amazingly intricate Halloween designs. The carver who impresses the expert panel of judges the most takes home a $10,000 prize.
On October 4 at 8 p.m., Food Network Canada will air the new one-hour special Trick or Eat, in which chef Carla Hall cooks up some ghoulishly good grub and tricked-out treats, including mouth-watering zombie burgers, colossal freak shakes and monstrous Franken-chops.
