Halloween Wars

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
