Halloween season means a lot of things to a lot of people but for us it means we are going to be watching some great Halloween shows on Food Network with the family. Halloween Baking Championship Season 12 will premiere on Monday, September 14th with ten bakers competing for the prize and the title of Halloween Baking Champion. We will get an extra long primiere that gives us the setting for this year’s competition in the grand foyer of the Museum of Unnatural History. John Henson will host as Stephanie Boswell, Aarti Sequeira, and Zac Young will judge.

On Monday, September 14th at 9 p.m. ET/PT 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.
