Fall is almost officially here, and with that comes the return of all our favorite TV shows. While I'm already internally crying over whatever This Is Us has in store this season, Food Network's line-up is decidedly more cheerful. Here are all the Halloween shows coming to the network this fall, plus when to tune in:
Halloween Baking Championship
What it is: A competition between eight bakers showing off their "creepiest, scariest skills" over six episodes. There are challenges, naturally, and the winner gets $25,000!
Who's on it: Comedian John Henson, with judges Carla Hall, Lorraine Pascale, and Zac Young
When it airs: Mondays at 9pmM ET/PT starting September 30
Halloween Wars
What it is: A competition between six teams made up of an expert pumpkin carver, a cake artist, and sugar master who create Halloween-themed edible displays over five episodes.
Who's on it: Jonathan Bennett hosts (Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls!), with Shinmin Li and Todd Tucker as judges, along with a rotating panel of celebrity guest judges, including Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things
When it airs: Sundays at 9pm ET/PT starting September 30
Bonus: The season starts with a special behind-the-scenes episode (airing Sept. 30 at 8pm) that shows what the team members are up to leading up to the show.
