Food Network will spread Halloween cheer this October with its new seasonal show “Halloween Wars,’ and airs Sunday, October 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. According to a Food Network press release, it is a four-episode competition series that has five teams made of pumpkin carvers, candy makers and cake designers working together to create the “ultimate Halloween themed display.” Every week one team will be eliminated. And the grand prize? $50,000.

Cupcake Wars frontman Justin Willman will host the show with renowned cake decorator Shinmin Li and Hollywood artist Miles Teves as judges. Every episode will feature a celebrity guest judge, including Rob Zombie, R.L. Stine, Jaime King and Scout Taylor-Compton.

The season premiere’s theme is “Witches and Scary Places,” where teams will have to create Halloween displays of witches and a haunted house. October 9 is themed as “Scary Tales,” which challenges the four remaining teams to create a “twisted version of a fairy tale.” October 16 is “Zombies vs. Vampires,” and the last episode on October 23 features displays of the “Underworld.”
