00:00Previously on Halloween Wars...

00:03We need a six pack.

00:04Oven Coven slaughtered the competition to come out on top.

00:07The sugar one draws your eye in.

00:10While Wicked Sculptor's sugar spotlight failed, nearly sent them home.

00:14One, two, three.

00:15Now the final four teams attack the pumpkin spotlight.

00:19Pumpkin all day. Pumpkin all day, every day.

00:21I want everybody to be intimidated by the size of this thing.

00:23This pumpkin is massive. You know this is a pumpkin challenge, right?

00:26And take a stab at getting one step closer to $25,000.

00:31We have to step up our game.

00:33Halloween Wars starts right now.

00:42Team's poisonous perfection, under cakers, oven coven, and Wicked Sculptors.

00:48Surviving this Halloween War takes blood, guts, and hopefully more blood.

00:54That's what makes it so much fun.

00:57So to amp up the fun even more today, you're gonna put a spooky slant on a popular word game.

01:04Each of you will be given a noun, an adverb, and because this is Halloween Wars, a monster.

01:12Take those three words and create the most spine-tingling scene you can imagine.

01:18For your tasting element, you'll find a trio of assigned ingredients back at your stations.

01:26And you must combine all three.

01:29Wow, dude.

01:31In the skill spotlight today, the pumpkin carvers.

01:35Your assigned monster must be carved entirely out of pumpkin.

01:41Wow.

01:42Seven hours.

01:43Game on.

01:44Go.

01:45Wow.

01:46What's in the box?

01:47Mummy awkwardly cat.

01:48Okay.

01:49Frankenstein.

01:50Cautiously loved.

01:51That's all me.

01:52Werewolf, blood, and anxious.

01:53What do we got?

01:54Since we're focusing on pumpkins, you know, the werewolf is gonna have to be made completely out of pumpkins.

01:56Yeah.

01:57Are you nervous?

01:58I don't see the bad, Markie.

01:59I think you're gonna kill him.

02:00It's gonna be great.

02:01It's gonna be great.

02:02Is he anxious about not wanting to turn?

02:03Yeah, maybe not.

02:04Maybe he's got a family and he doesn't want to turn.

02:07A husband and wife build a shack where they lock him up every full moon before he turns

02:13into a werewolf.

02:14And he's like, oh, I'm gonna kill him.

02:15I'm gonna kill him.

02:16I'm gonna kill him.

02:17I'm gonna kill him.

02:18I'm gonna kill him.

02:19I'm gonna kill him.

02:20Yeah, I'm gonna kill him.

02:21I'm gonna kill him.

02:22I'm gonna kill him.

02:23I'm gonna kill him.

02:24I'm gonna kill him before he turns into a werewolf.

02:26On this night, he had already started turning and the wife was anxiously trying to lock him

02:31away.

02:32What kind of things are bravely associated with hair?

02:36What if he was waxing?

02:39I mean, it hurts.

02:41It hurts.

02:42You have to be brave for that.

02:43Exactly.

02:44We decide to convey the bravely adverb by making our vampire not necessarily enjoying

02:50this waxing.

02:51He is bravely deciding to sit down and endure the pain of the waxing.

02:56Did you guys realize we're in like the top four?

02:58Yeah.

02:59And it's pumpkin.

03:00And it's pumpkin.

03:01Lots of pressure.

03:02Have you ever tried taking a cat for a walk?

03:04No.

03:05No?

03:07It is very awkward because they don't want to go anywhere.

03:11We've decided to have a mummy with his two cats.

03:14They are scared of a baby dressed in a dog costume.

03:17And some other things cats are afraid of, like cucumbers, tin foil, water.

03:22And the mummy is awkwardly trying to bring them back together.

03:25He's a mummy, so you're gonna need a lot of wrapping.

03:27Lots of wrapping.

03:28All right, Dave, this is all you.

03:30This is the big show.

03:31Frankenstein, all out of pumpkin.

03:33I'm thinking like almost like a four-foot Frankenstein.

03:36How do you feel about cautiously?

03:38Maybe he has a pet.

03:39Maybe he has a pet.

03:40Frankenstein has always searched for unconditional love.

03:43So he's decided to cautiously create his own little fur baby, Sunny, in hopes that

03:48it will love him back.

03:49And the solar panels will charge up Sunny for Frankenstein.

03:51All right, ready?

03:52Let's go.

03:53One, two, three, two.

03:54Final three.

03:55Final three.

03:56Go, go, go, go.

03:57Let's go.

03:58Let's go.

03:59I'm gonna roll my pumpkin in.

04:00You get your little hands off.

04:01Yeah.

04:02I feel like Quasimodo.

04:05Incoming.

04:06One, two, three.

04:08Girl power.

04:10Okay.

04:11I'm working on the tree branches right now.

04:14So this is critical because we need to get this completely coated in chocolate.

04:18We're gonna cover our CT and then do a finish of brown icing.

04:24And then we'll put it on the board so that we can get our characters up.

04:27Last week, we didn't do so good in the sugar spotlight.

04:30We almost went home.

04:31So this week, we need to come back strong, show the judges what they know we can do.

04:36This week, we've been given not just two, but three ingredients.

04:39Chocolate, dates, and cardamom.

04:42Ooh, I cannot forget cardamom.

04:45Three ingredients is so difficult because you have to balance all three flavors and make sure they all shine through.

04:51And with cardamom, it's really potent, and I'm not really sure how that's going to pair with everything else.

04:56That smells cardamomy.

04:58So I'm gonna stick to what I know, which is cake.

05:01I'm going to make a chocolate and cardamom orange cake soaked in a sticky toffee with dates with a dark chocolate ganache and an orange Italian buttercream.

05:10Two years ago, I got eliminated in my first episode.

05:14My tasting element was fantastic, though.

05:16And then last year, got third place.

05:20At this point, if I don't win, it's starting to get pathetic and sad.

05:24Okay, cake is going in the oven.

05:26Pumpkin spotlight, that means that I'm gonna be, I'm gonna have to do a lot of pumpkin.

05:31And that means that I have to build a really, really strong armature or structure to hold my pumpkins so that they don't come toppling down.

05:40There's a lot of pressure.

05:41Even if we have an incredible scene, but my element that I build isn't the spotlight, we could still go home.

05:48Because we have the word awkwardly, our character needs to look awkward.

05:53Rebecca wants this character to have a lot of movement and to be mid-pose.

05:58Starting on pumpkin now.

05:59To make the mummy structure, I'm taking big pieces of a large pumpkin, flattening one side and gluing that onto my structure.

06:05He's looking beautiful right now.

06:08We got vampire, and I have to make him all out of pumpkin.

06:12This week is definitely the week that I want to kill it and want to take in a win for our team.

06:18I'm going to carve our main character as a vampire, who is going to be getting waxed.

06:23Paulina's already hard at work.

06:25She's using butternut squash, slicing it in half, and using that as the limbs.

06:30We really want to learn from last week's challenge and make sure that we're able to sculpt with an eye for time.

06:38Butternut squash has a natural shape that mimics the different body parts, so I think that it will allow me to get the shapes of the body really quickly.

06:47How's it going on the chair?

06:48It's going well.

06:49Excellent.

06:50I'm at the cushion right now.

06:52You cannot be standing getting waxed.

06:54So Karine is starting on the chair out of rice cereal treat and fondant, and Jamie is putting together our door to the wax salon.

07:03I actually poured my hot ice malt onto a vinyl sheet, and that vinyl sheet is a little bit more heavy duty, and you get like crazy clear ice malt pour when you do that.

07:13Oh, look how clear my window is.

07:16Wow.

07:17I am starting with the nicest pumpkin I have seen in a long time.

07:22He's beautiful, and he's really thick.

07:25It's a big week for me, and I am very nervous about it because it's like, if I don't perform and we go home, I'm going to feel like it's all on my head.

07:34These are going to be the legs of the werewolf.

07:37I've never done a standing piece before, and it's got to be solid, and it's got to hold up to the weight of the pumpkin.

07:43Margaret, it's all you today.

07:45I'm feeling the pressure this week because I'm doing a figure out of pumpkin, and I do armatures, but usually it's just the head that's the pumpkin, not the rest of the body.

07:53So anything can go wrong, and everything might go wrong.

07:57This is the pumpkin spotlight, so I've got to bring it home.

08:00You're going to kill it.

08:01We're going to kill it.

08:03I think everyone in this building is younger than my kids.

08:06Younger than your kids?

08:08Younger than my kids.

08:09Not younger than me.

08:10Younger than my kids.

08:11I'm pretty sure.

08:12How old are your kids?

08:14My oldest son is going to be 45.

08:16Oh.

08:17So, there you go.

08:19Okay.

08:20I like being young.

08:22Margaret is so badass.

08:24Like, she's 67, and she's doing this.

08:26I'm like, girl, amazing, amazing.

08:29We're going to go ahead and do the trees.

08:32I will be doing the backdrop.

08:35I'll get the door going, okay?

08:36And Nails is going to start off with a door made out of sugar.

08:39So I'm just cutting these to fit the 12-inch things.

08:43So I'm just torching the knife a little bit, making a score, tapping it off.

08:48These are the rivets to accentuate to show that the door is extra reinforced.

08:54Last week, it was my spotlight.

08:55This week, it's Margie.

08:57She hasn't really made big standing pieces yet, right?

09:00So, but I said, don't worry.

09:02And it's in her hands, and I'm here to cover the spread.

09:06Right now, I'm preparing the sugar to pour into the windows.

09:11Kim starts with the backdrop, and we've decided we want to kind of have a warehouse feel.

09:15I am starting with our carrot cake.

09:18Our ingredients that we got were carrot, ginger, and caramel.

09:22Natalie is known for her complex tasting elements.

09:25She's creating a layered ginger carrot cake with a smoked bourbon pecan caramel and a butterscotch buttercream.

09:32And surprise in this one, our tasting element is actually going to be the frank and fur baby.

09:36I have some fresh ginger that I'm going to grate just to finish in my carrot cake and get that in the oven.

09:42I'm excited about the flavors because they all do go together very well.

09:45But they can be challenging because sometimes the carrot can get lost or the ginger can be overpowering.

09:50Or it can just end up being too sweet, which I don't like.

09:53So hopefully we can mellow it all out and marry them together nicely.

09:58Put this in the oven.

10:00We're in the final four.

10:01We want to be in the final three.

10:03We're coming off a win.

10:04They put me in my element, the pumpkin spotlight.

10:07I'm going to start off by cutting off a big chunk for Frankenstein's chest.

10:12This is the pumpkin spotlight.

10:13It's got to blow the judges away.

10:15I want to go huge.

10:16I'm going to carve the biggest Frankenstein that Halloween Wars has ever seen.

10:20But before I can even start carving this pumpkin, I got to get all the pieces onto our structure.

10:25This is my 12 year reunion at Halloween Wars.

10:28From season three to season 15.

10:30I don't have the trophy on my wall yet.

10:33To finally win Halloween Wars is like the apex pumpkin title.

10:37Pretty much the most important competition of our craft.

10:42It would mean everything.

10:43So winning is absolutely vital.

10:48I'm making a Franken pumpkin.

10:50Yes.

10:51Teams, six hours left.

10:53All right, let's go guys.

10:55Already six.

10:56We're in really great shape today because I think these are some of the strongest carvers we've had to date.

11:02So this is going to be a tough competition for us to judge because I think they're all going to be bringing it.

11:10What do you think?

11:11Do you think this one's a little better?

11:13I prefer the biggest.

11:14The one on your left?

11:15Yeah, the biggest.

11:16Yeah, the bigger one.

11:17Yeah.

11:18We have to convey the bravely adverb.

11:20You're a machine today.

11:21I mean, come and look at David.

11:22Why is he so slow?

11:24I mean, we can't all be winners, okay?

11:27We got a whole figure without a head already.

11:30Well.

11:31Well.

11:32I'll work on it.

11:33I'll get back to you.

11:34I'm making the vampire's face right now.

11:37And we're making a face that is kind of in pain.

11:41He's kind of braving out, getting waxed.

11:44So what's super exciting about Halloween Wars is most of the time when I'm carving for clients, we're kind of doing like business things and locos and I don't get to do creepy things as much.

11:57So I love the creativity and the free reign.

12:00I'm a professional pumpkin carver by night and a paralegal at a law office by day.

12:05I would love to have that Halloween Wars champion title to really help boost my business and in turn support my family.

12:13I would love to be able to carve and sculpt full time.

12:16Oh, look at his face.

12:17It's so good.

12:18Five hours to go.

12:19Wow.

12:20You guys in a good spot.

12:21Yep.

12:22So right now I am making the caramel sauce and the butterscotch for my smoked bourbon.

12:26That's going to be mixed with some pecans.

12:29That's smoky.

12:30Our assigned ingredients are carrots, ginger and caramel.

12:34Natalie is creating a layered ginger carrot cake with a smoked bourbon pecan caramel layer and a butterscotch buttercream.

12:42I've worked for a lot of really high end restaurants where I had to create the menu and come up with different techniques and different elements and just constantly making new desserts.

12:53So I think with this tasting element, I have that experience of working with different flavors and being able to really create something unique.

13:02I love the idea of a little bit of smoke in here just to break up those flavors that sort of feel kind of familiar to us.

13:09Yeah.

13:10I think it's really, really intelligent.

13:11The spice of the ginger and then the earthiness of the carrots.

13:14I think this is going to be very interesting.

13:16I'm cautiously optimistic.

13:18I'm anxiously waiting.

13:20I am bravely approaching this.

13:23This is going to be a good round.

13:25Looks more like a pig.

13:27The basic body shape looks like a cat.

13:30Sabrina is responsible for our cats and our baby character.

13:34Made out of rice cereal and modeling chocolate.

13:37So we're just going to cover him with the modeling chocolate.

13:40Awesome.

13:41Afterwards, we can sculpt and add details.

13:44I think I'm feeling okay.

13:46There's a lot of progress on my mummy.

13:48I'm going to start carving this very like grotesque mummy face.

13:52It's going to be like a skull under the wrap.

13:54I'm an artist by trade.

13:56I used to teach high school art.

13:58Got out of that.

13:59Now I'm a woodworker and I work as a tattoo artist.

14:03In this realm, I do feel like I need to kind of prove myself.

14:07And show that I can like run with the big dogs.

14:10And do what everybody else is doing.

14:12And like maybe make a name for myself in the pumpkin carving world.

14:16I'm going to get started on the tasting element.

14:20A little melted butter.

14:21Here we go.

14:22My ingredients are cranberry, orange and clove.

14:25But when you're given three different ingredients,

14:27you really have to figure out how to make them all be standalone ingredients,

14:30but dance together.

14:32So we're going to go with a nice crunchy spice graham crust with the clove.

14:35We're going to do a nice silky white chocolate, orange zest, vanilla mousse.

14:38And then we're going to top it with whole candied cranberries

14:41and a little bit of candied gingers.

14:43We're mixing the chocolate into the egg yolks, the heavy cream, vanilla beans,

14:48and orange zest.

14:49Had the orange zest in the heavy cream to sort of help that flavor develop a bunch.

14:54Going to the freezer.

14:55Okay.

14:56Here we go.

14:57Get these sugared.

14:59Coat those in a little bit of egg whites.

15:01You don't want to do too much.

15:02Just enough to shine them.

15:04And then sugar.

15:05Nils is doing this cool technique where he's sugaring the cranberries.

15:09Yeah.

15:10And bakes them.

15:11I think so that we can get the pop of biting into the cranberry,

15:13but still like a bit of the crunch from the sugar.

15:15Yeah.

15:16Wow.

15:17In we go.

15:18Right now I poured the initial sun and now I'm making the rays that come off from it.

15:24So I'm going to pull these and then attach it to the sun.

15:28So this is what we refer to affectionately as pumpkin bacon.

15:31It even looks like bacon.

15:33This stuff covers any gaps, makes your seams disappear.

15:36This pumpkin is massive.

15:38I want everybody carving pumpkin to look over and be intimidated by the size of this thing.

15:42But carving these big pumpkin monsters, it takes time.

15:45It's got to be precise.

15:46All the proportions have to be on.

15:48All right, we got to have Frankenstein's neck.

15:49He's got to have the bolts in his neck.

15:51If we're going to make the biggest pumpkin monster here, he's got to be accurate.

15:54I'll double stress the biggest monster here.

15:57I mean, this is crazy.

15:59It's like three times bigger than anybody else is here that I can see.

16:02You know this is a pumpkin challenge, right?

16:04You guys know that?

16:05Just wanted to make sure everybody was clear.

16:08You know, we were all here for the announcement.

16:10Thanks, David.

16:11Oh, David.

16:12He's crazy.

16:13Did I mention that these pumpkin monsters are itty bitty?

16:16Yes, David, we see that.

16:17We know.

16:18Wow.

16:19Did anybody catch that?

16:20I am starting on the dessert.

16:22So for our tasty ingredients, we got maple, rum, and apple.

16:25This is a little bit of rum extract to, like, kick up the rum even more because I got to

16:30make the flavors stand apart from each other.

16:32I'm making a maple butterscotch budino with a rum caramelized apple compote and a cornflake

16:40crunch.

16:41I'm going to be making a maple butterscotch pudding.

16:45So right now, I'm cooking maple sugar.

16:47And I want to cook it to, like, almost the point of caramel so you get a nice, deep flavor

16:52inside of our butterscotch pudding.

16:54Jamie is making our tasting element look like slugs because the slug slime is used for the

17:01waxing.

17:02Good old slug innards.

17:04My only concern when I look at what Jamie's making is, is this going to eat a little sweet?

17:09She's using butterscotch and maple and rum and apple.

17:14That's a lot of sweetness in one bite.

17:16I'm just going to run this to the freezer.

17:19My mummy doesn't look like a mummy yet, but it's coming together.

17:23For our tasting elements, we got dates, cardamom, and chocolate.

17:27So I'm going to be making a chocolate cake and then a sticky toffee date soak for the cake

17:35and an orange buttercream.

17:36I am using all brown butter today for flavor.

17:40Brown sugar.

17:41We got our toffee soak right here.

17:45Looks beautiful.

17:46I really hope that they're not just going to use the date as, like, a sweetener.

17:50A sweetener.

17:51Once you take that texture out of the equation, it is hard to spot it as a date.

17:56So I'm hoping that Emily uses some of the texture of the date in her tasting element

18:02so we get a bit of that chew.

18:04Something that really helps us understand date is the star here.

18:08Our piece is mummy and cats.

18:11And so we've decided that they're going to be walking in the park

18:14and the cats are freaking out because there's a baby there.

18:17But just for a little bit of fun, we have a trash can in our park.

18:21Trash can is almost done.

18:23I'm going to paint it silver.

18:25Only four hours on the clock.

18:27We got this.

18:28We got this.

18:29We do.

18:31So I'm just working on the head, the nose.

18:33I'm going to get that on in a minute.

18:34I'm going to start putting on the fur.

18:36To make the fur texture for the werewolf, I'm using serrated potato peeler

18:40that you would make ripple chips with.

18:41And I'm digging into the pumpkin.

18:43So I just want fur, you know, maybe a little bit here, a little bit there.

18:47Then I take a V-cutter and I go backwards so that some ends will stick up

18:52and hopefully they'll all look like they're one.

18:55So how are we going to make anxious come across on this?

18:58I think the wife, you know, she's anxious that she's not going to be able to close the door in time

19:03and it's already in full mood and he's already turning, you know?

19:05We want to feel very worried.

19:07I want to bring out the fear in her face and the worry because, you know,

19:11she's trying to hurry up and get the door closed before his transformation starts.

19:15Okay, I'm covering the back of her head brown and then we put her on the wall.

19:19I almost hear anxiety more than I see it, right?

19:22Absolutely.

19:23Since someone's breathing, they make noises.

19:25And so this is a difficult one.

19:26And interestingly enough, this team has chosen to put that not in the main character,

19:32but in the supporting character.

19:34I think it's risky.

19:38There you go.

19:39She's on.

19:40She looks worried.

19:41Anxiety.

19:42We have the werewolf in the front.

19:44We have his wife who is the anxious character, but she's in the back towards the door.

19:48So I'm worried that they're putting a lot of that attention in the back where we may not see it.

19:53I want the wife to be the anxious one.

19:55I feel like it would be difficult to make the werewolf look like he's anxious.

19:59Like, what is he going to be scared of?

20:01I'm going to use buttercream for her dress to make it 2D to go into the background.

20:07The wife running for the doorknob will also be partly 3D because I'll be making the wife's head,

20:13but her dress will be blended into the backdrop.

20:16So I'll make that part 2D out of buttercream, and her hands or legs will be reaching out,

20:21made out of modeling chocolate.

20:22Let me do one more frill for her dress, actually.

20:25Yep, that's fine.

20:26Teams, you're looking at three hours.

20:27Three hours left.

20:28No!

20:29We got this.

20:30Oh, my God.

20:31There's four teams left, so we have to step up our game.

20:34We are making wings for our little flying goblins.

20:38Our little goblins are going to be the ones that are waxing our vampire.

20:43I'm using rice paper to make my wings.

20:46I'm using water to make it more flexible, then I'm drying it back.

20:50I'm going to install these little devices that are flapping wings.

20:54To build our goblins, Karine is placing the wing mechanism on top of the body,

21:00and then she's using rice cereal treat and candy melts to really firm it up,

21:05and then placing modeling chocolate over all of it.

21:08I'm going to try to attach my first set of wings.

21:14I need to know if it's working.

21:24Ta-da, ta-da!

21:26I am working on coloring our vampire.

21:31Okay, we need to put him on.

21:33Yes, yes, we have to put him on.

21:35Oh.

21:36Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

21:39Okay, and stop.

21:41He's there.

21:43I need to put the hair on my guy.

21:47Okay.

21:48Making him hairy is important.

21:49Yes.

21:50So our three words that we got were vampire, bravely, and hair.

21:54So he has to have hair.

21:56So I'm using a tool I have to just pull up a little bit of the pumpkin

22:01to make it look like he has hair coming off his arms,

22:04and then we're going to just paint the tips of those blacks

22:07so that it's very contrasting.

22:09I'm really selling that he's hairy.

22:11Yes.

22:12More hair.

22:13More hair.

22:14More hair.

22:15Um.

22:16Still got to paint that.

22:17A mummy.

22:18What's your goal for starting to paint?

22:20I'd like to start painting it as soon as I can,

22:22but I don't have everything fully wrapped yet.

22:25Rebecca has so much to do.

22:27She's using very thin sheets of pumpkin and wrapping that around as the mummy wrappings.

22:32But we also want to make an isomalt pumpkin fountain.

22:35What can I help with?

22:36How do you feel about cutting into some pumpkins?

22:39You know what?

22:40I've never carved pumpkins.

22:42Do you want me to teach you some pumpkin ways?

22:43Yeah, tell me what to do.

22:44All right.

22:45If you can, kind of maybe trace it around on the tabletop surface.

22:49Yep.

22:50I'm still so focused on the mummy, I can't step away from that right now.

22:53So for the fountain, I'm having Emerly cut my pumpkins.

22:56Pumpkin!

22:57It would be cool to be, like, the first person to do this show as, like, a sugar artist, a cake artist, and a pumpkin carver.

23:05Three pumpkins.

23:06Beautiful.

23:07Last time, it felt like their board was a little empty.

23:12Now I'm like, this is going to be a very full scene because now there's this gigantic fountain.

23:17Not only is there a fountain, not only are there two cats and the mummy, but there's also got to be that little boy.

23:23And he's got to fit in there somewhere.

23:25What do we think?

23:26It is beautiful!

23:29These strips are because he's transitioning and he's ripping off his T-shirt.

23:33So his T-shirt is going to be shredded from hand to hand.

23:36Three new things that I've never done before.

23:38The big armature, the airbrushing, and animals.

23:41I refuse to do animals of any sort.

23:44And yet here I am, doing an animal.

23:47The Under Cakers, Margie is really far along with her werewolf character.

23:52I'm really impressed with Margie.

23:53I mean, I love that she's going outside of her comfort zone.

23:56Yeah.

23:57She's doing twice the work that she normally has done thus far, right?

24:01Normally, she just gives us the head.

24:03Mm-hmm.

24:04She's doing a body and a head.

24:05And she's making good time here.

24:07Just make sure your dude is popping off.

24:10It's pumpkin all day.

24:11Pumpkin all day, every day.

24:13Well, right now I'm making the fur baby's face.

24:17And I'm just using Mr. Pointy, my favorite tool, to just kind of put some details.

24:23He has a pig nose and we're working on owl eyes right now.

24:26With a ginger carrot cake, Kim and Natalie are both trying to make the most lovable little Franken-fur baby on the planet.

24:32It's got all kinds of different parts, just like Frankenstein.

24:35He's got a koi fish tail.

24:37I'm actually using a pumpkin carving tool to make the little scales.

24:41They do have Frankenstein's pet.

24:43I hope Natalie and David are communicating, right, so that the Franken-pet doesn't look too, too tiny compared to Frankenstein's monster.

24:51I think I'm going to want to take this pet home.

24:54I know.

24:55But you can't because he's the tasting element.

24:58I know.

24:59We got a pumpkin monster that's almost three times bigger than anybody else's.

25:04We said it's pumpkin spotlight.

25:05They gave us pumpkin spotlight.

25:06I see a giant is what I see.

25:08Massive.

25:09A giant of a Franken-man.

25:11My one concern for David is because he is so huge, that means more paint, more texture, more detailing than any other character in the room.

25:20And tick-tock, we don't have that much time.

25:23There's less than two hours left.

25:24And my favorite part, the most intricate part, the head, I haven't even started it.

25:28I realize I'm going to have to sacrifice a lot of the intricate details that I love to do just to get a finished piece up.

25:34Fastest head ever carved.

25:36We have to convey cautiously.

25:38At this point, I'm just trying to get a face in general.

25:41I know I'm sacrificing not only detail, but maybe the chance to get cautiously really conveyed in his emotions.

25:46He's looking like Frankie.

25:48He's getting there.

25:49Yep.

25:52Serena, how you doing?

25:53We're oranging up the cat.

25:55Serena tends to want to put a lot of time and detail work into her characters, but we don't have several hours to spend on each cat.

26:03Where's the cat face?

26:04Serena needs to sculpt both of our cats' faces, but she's taking too long painting that, so Rebecca has to step in and handle that.

26:12But she still needs to finish her mummy.

26:14But what can I help for a little bit?

26:16Can we do this?

26:17I need him brushed.

26:18Yeah.

26:19With white?

26:20With white?

26:21Yeah.

26:22I need to step in to help.

26:23So I've been doing a lot.

26:24Emerly is making a ton of progress, and the stress of not making all of the progress that we need from all three team players is really weighing on us.

26:33I am working on the shape of the baby that's crawling towards our cats.

26:39You need to do its face.

26:40It's just a blob.

26:41A blob.

26:42Because it's in a costume anyways.

26:43You don't see feet.

26:44Okay.

26:45Okay.

26:46Serena's literally been working on the bottom half of the blob legs for like 20 minutes.

26:50What's going on over here?

26:51Well, we can't attach the limbs until he's on the board.

26:53It doesn't need to be attached.

26:55Why does it need to be attached?

26:56It just sits on top.

26:57Pick it all up.

26:58Carry it separate.

26:59Nothing needs to be attached.

27:00It just needs to be able to get over here when it's ready.

27:02Okay.

27:03Okay.

27:04So we need the face.

27:05Okay.

27:06I need you to work faster, please.

27:09Okay.

27:10I'm going to start pouring ice out for the fountain.

27:13One hour left.

27:14You have one hour.

27:15Oh my God.

27:16Can you believe it?

27:18No.

27:19Serena?

27:20Can you work a little bit faster?

27:22We're running out of time.

27:23I'm trying.

27:24I just have the cover on brown.

27:29Okay.

27:30Okay.

27:31It's a little rough.

27:34The baby is a really important element to help tell our story, and it is not looking

27:38good.

27:39It doesn't look great.

27:41So what can we do?

27:44It's a little rough.

27:46Definitely needs color.

27:48Are you going to be able to handle that?

27:50Maybe.

27:51I think Serena has gotten really bogged down with the details and has not been able to

27:56get everything that she needs to finished.

27:58Emily, we should get rid of the dog.

28:00The baby phase, it's just not working well.

28:03Okay, Serena.

28:04I think this is taking too long.

28:06So let's go ahead and take that out.

28:08Maybe add a little bit more water.

28:10I think that will really help to sell what we already have.

28:12Okay.

28:13Sound good?

28:14Sounds great.

28:15Okay, let's do this.

28:16I'm sad that we have to drop a character.

28:19Unfortunately, time just got a hold of me, but I still think we have a very strong piece.

28:24I am making cucumbers out of blown isomalt.

28:29We don't have the baby character, but I think with the cucumbers and we're going to have trash

28:33that's wafer paper, tin foil made out of chocolate and the water.

28:37That will be enough to tell a full story.

28:39Almost finished with the cucumbers and then I'll finish up the tin foil and let's fill up the trash can.

28:44Okay, I need to get to the trash can.

28:4630 minutes on the clock.

28:48It's a little thin, but it's working.

28:52I got to get the color on this thing, but there's highlights and shadows.

28:57Something this big sounded really good on paper.

29:00At this point, I'm not so sure it was a good idea.

29:02Let's talk about oven coven.

29:04It just looks completely like monotones.

29:07Yeah.

29:08It looks muddy.

29:09You know, the Frankenstein's monster, we're always associating that character with like a green face and a black suit.

29:15And right now, head to toe, he looks the same color.

29:20So I'm covering my cake in modeling chocolate so I can start hand painting it to look like pieces of steak.

29:28Our three words were werewolf, anxiously, and blood.

29:32And we still need to make the blood.

29:34So on the floor will be the werewolf food, which will be steak covered with blood.

29:39We're making a giant hollow ham.

29:41It's a ham cloche.

29:42And we're going to make it so the dessert can go under it.

29:45I'm taking rice cereal treats, non-stick sprayed the bowl.

29:48I'm going to shape it out like a ham, cover it in chocolate.

29:51And then Tanisha's going to spray it to look like a giant ham.

29:54Five minutes left.

29:55Five minutes.

29:56Only three.

29:57Oh, no.

29:58This is not good.

29:59You're okay?

30:00You're okay?

30:01I am freaking out.

30:02I'm working on making some used waxing strips with gelatin treated wafer paper and some corn silk for extra disgusting hair awesomeness.

30:13It's really gross.

30:14We're going to put him on, yeah?

30:15Yes.

30:16Like push him in as far as you can.

30:19Yeah.

30:20Like, yeah.

30:21I'm making our solar panels right now.

30:25One minute!

30:30We need to airbrush some of the cats.

30:32Just pick up the pace a little bit.

30:34Oh, I'm just, I'm trying to make his nipples like even whiter.

30:37Yeah.

30:38Almost done.

30:39Did you try that blush brush?

30:40Watch.

30:41Like go in and act like you're like highlighting him.

30:44Like you're highlighting his cheekbones.

30:46I'm just trying.

30:47Come on.

30:48Put some makeup on.

30:49Yep.

30:50Just shine him up.

30:51Just lighten him up.

30:52Ten.

30:53Spilled blood.

30:54Nine.

30:55So disgusting.

30:56Eight.

30:57If you can get the picture.

30:58Seven.

31:00Six.

31:01Clean up work.

31:02Five.

31:03I'm gonna get the tasting element ready.

31:05Four.

31:06Three.

31:07That's so nasty.

31:08Two.

31:09Panic mug.

31:10Panic mug.

31:11Panic mug.

31:12One.

31:13Time's up.

31:15Great job.

31:17Yeah.

31:18That looks so good.

31:19Sorry to take such a mess.

31:20It was way too much pumpkin.

31:21I'm sorry.

31:22It shows, it shows light.

31:24Same.

31:25Sorry.

31:26If anything bad happens, it's my fault.

31:27I'll take, I'll own it.

31:34Up and coming.

31:36You played the Halloween Wars word game.

31:38What words did you get?

31:39The fun words.

31:40Frankenstein, cautiously, and love.

31:44Frankenstein has been cautiously looking for love his entire existence.

31:48He's gonna give it one last try and create his own love.

31:51His little Franken fur baby.

31:53He even has to cautiously rely on solar power to power his little buddy.

31:58Frankenstein is all pumpkin.

31:59Every bit.

32:00Fur baby is made of cake as well as sugar solar panels with a little bit of cake.

32:05Sugar backdrop with the sun.

32:07All the sugar windows.

32:08David, you definitely went gigantic with your pumpkin.

32:12My favorite part of your character is actually the fact that you used the pumpkin shell for the hair.

32:17It looks super believable.

32:18Listen, this is such a large pumpkin piece that you went with the size but not as much into the detail.

32:24When we think of Frankenstein's monster, we instantly think of like a darker suit and then like that recognizable iconic green face.

32:31So the color breakup is just not enough contrast for us.

32:34That Franken pet is so stinking cute.

32:39This.

32:40This.

32:41Why does this do it for everybody?

32:43It's that one ear and you're like, oh, I'll take you home.

32:46I think that there's some like implied caution here just because the pet is so small and so cute and he is so big and so large.

32:54So there's an implication there, but I think that you guys really could have put a finer point on it.

32:59What were your tasting elements you got?

33:00We got ginger, caramel and carrot.

33:03Right.

33:04Already go kill the animal.

33:05No, I'm just kidding.

33:06So I made for you today a ginger carrot cake with a smoked bourbon pecan caramel and then a butterscotch buttercream.

33:14Natalie, this cake is super moist.

33:17There are chunks of carrots in here, so that adds another texture.

33:20It's definitely leaning on the sweeter side, especially with the smoked caramelized pecans as well.

33:26I think I'm missing a little bit of the ginger.

33:28This is a delicious carrot cake.

33:30I think because you've got this added element of these smoky pecans, which are delicious.

33:35I don't know that the ginger stood a chance to really show up.

33:39Oven Coven, thank you very much.

33:41Thank you guys.

33:43Wow.

33:44Good job.

33:45Good job.

33:46Wicked sculptors.

33:47What were your words?

33:48Mummy, awkwardly and cats.

33:51So Murgatroyd, he really enjoys spending his days curled up with his cats, but he decided to take them for a walk.

33:59Little did he know that they would encounter a trash can full of the thing that they are most afraid of.

34:04Murgatroyd is trying awkwardly to get them to continue their walk.

34:08Murgatroyd is made completely out of pumpkin, as is the fountain basins.

34:13There's isomalt as the cucumbers and the water.

34:17And the cats are made of rice cereal treats, coated in modeling chocolate.

34:21Tonight is the pumpkin spotlight.

34:24And Rebecca, I love your pumpkin character.

34:27I love all the parts of the body that are revealed outside of the wrapping, like the ribs here, you know, because of the crop top he's wearing.

34:34I see the awkward in his face, but because he got rid of the baby character, there's a big blank space in the front.

34:41If you had moved your armature or moved your character closer to the front, we wouldn't be left with such an empty spot in the front there.

34:48For me, one of the most successful parts of this entire display is that jaw.

34:54To me, that's like, like, to me, that's awkward.

34:57The other part that I think is really beautiful, Serena, is this front cat.

35:01I think you've got this beautiful arching of the spine.

35:03I know that you nixed the boy in the dog costume, and you focused here on the foil and the cucumbers and the water.

35:10I just don't know that the story is really loud and clear.

35:17Can you tell us what your assigned ingredients were?

35:19We got cardamom, chocolate, and dates.

35:21I made a cardamom and chocolate cake, and then I did a toffee date soak.

35:28And then I also have an orange Italian buttercream.

35:31Emily, I think you've given us a really rich, extravagant, almost, chocolate cake.

35:38I get the sweetness from the date.

35:40I wish you had left bigger chunks of date in here.

35:42I think that the texture of your chocolate cake is very heavy.

35:47So I feel like the textures are not quite there, but the flavors are loud and strong.

35:52I liked it.

35:53Thank you so much.

35:55I...

35:56Okay.

35:57Poisonous perfection.

35:58What words did you get?

35:59We got vampire hair and bravely.

36:01There's nothing more brave than a hairy vampire entering a wax salon ready to accept his painful fate.

36:17The vampire is made out of pumpkin, of course.

36:20The goblins are a modeling chocolate and rice cereal tree.

36:23The glass door and the sconce in the back are sugar, as well as the goblins' eyes.

36:28Again, you just bring the funny, like every week in terms of telling the story, giving us the emotion, hitting all the words on that list.

36:37You did it.

36:38Well done.

36:39I also love that you have this gigantic piece of pumpkin balanced out by the sort of light and airy bumblebee-esque goblin.

36:46This is such an incredible piece.

36:49It's just such a great, beautifully sculpted character.

36:53That beautiful sugar door in the back there.

36:56The knuckles, if they were like just a little tighter, and if you painted just the bones here whiter than the rest, he would really look like he's just knuckling it.

37:05And what's your tasting element made out of?

37:07We got apple, rum, and maple.

37:11So I made some slugs.

37:13The slugs are filled with a maple butterscotch budino and with caramelized rum apples and a cornflake maple crunch.

37:23And it's all in a milk chocolate shell.

37:26I love that you poached the apples in the rum.

37:30They are complementing each other very well.

37:32And it doesn't eat too sweet.

37:34I do get like a little bit of the aroma of the maple without too much of the sweetness.

37:38So really smart there.

37:39I can taste the apple loud and clear.

37:41I can taste the rum for sure.

37:43I think you did a really thoughtful great job here.

37:46Poisonous perfection.

37:47Great job.

37:48That went really well.

37:51That was good.

37:52That was good.

37:53Under Cakers, what words did you get?

37:55So the words we got were werewolf, anxiously, and blood.

38:00Waylon and Wanda have been handling Waylon's condition for the better part of a decade.

38:05Wanda creates his favorite foods and gets him locked before the moon comes up.

38:09This time they're running a little bit late and they are very anxiously waiting to close the door.

38:14The main character, Waylon, is made of pumpkin.

38:16The chalice is pumpkin.

38:17And then we have steaks made of cake.

38:20And Wanda is made of cereal treats.

38:22And the backboard is painted out of buttercream and fondant.

38:26The adverb anxiously is so difficult to convey.

38:29It's a risk that you put that emotion into the back character as opposed to your front pumpkin character.

38:35But her face definitely looks anxious.

38:38And Nils, I know this is not the sugar spotlight, but you gave us some beautiful supporting sugar pieces there.

38:43But I think the one piece that really stands out to me is this backdrop, Tanisha.

38:48So much texture, so many beautiful colors there.

38:51Margie, tonight's your night, honey, whether you like it or not.

38:54And I think you liked it.

38:56I did like it.

38:57I love the level of detail that you carved into your werewolf character.

39:02From the fur to the very impeccable musculature.

39:06One thing that I don't think works so well, I wish she was looking at her husband.

39:10Because I think then it would be very clear that the source of her anxiety is him.

39:15What were your assigned ingredients?

39:17Our assigned ingredients were orange, cranberry, and clove.

39:20So we have a white chocolate orange vanilla mousse with sugar cranberries, candy ginger on top.

39:27And then a graham cracker clove crust.

39:30I taste all three super loud, super clear.

39:34I love the tartness from the cranberry.

39:37I don't agree.

39:38Really?

39:39This never happens.

39:40What is going on?

39:41Artie, what do you think?

39:42I know.

39:43I feel like I don't taste the clove as much.

39:45Really?

39:46It is so bold and so brave.

39:48I just wish that the clove came through a little stronger.

39:51Thank you, Under Cakers.

39:53Thank you, guys.

39:54Good job, guys.

39:55Good job.

39:56Good job.

39:57This challenge required your most ingenious level of creativity yet.

40:02One team was able to turn three simple words into a terrifying display that the judges couldn't look away from.

40:13Congratulations.

40:16Poisonous perfection.

40:17You're the winner of this challenge.

40:19Unfortunately, Wicked Sculptors and Oven Coven.

40:28Both of you took big risks.

40:30But your final displays left the judges a little puzzled.

40:34Wicked Sculptors, you each had real winning moments.

40:38And that jutting jaw really sells the emotion of awkwardly.

40:43But the piece as a whole still feels unfinished.

40:46With a big empty space right in the front of your display and a story that doesn't make sense.

40:51And now you find yourselves in the bottom two again.

40:54This week, the spotlight was on the pumpkin carver.

40:58And David, you took that challenge head on.

41:01We love the inventiveness of using the pumpkin shell for the hairline.

41:05Unfortunately, it does feel like the case of quantity over quality.

41:10And while we fell in love with his furry friend, we don't get cautiously here.

41:15Unfortunately, the team that won't be moving on is...

41:20Oven Coven.

41:26Looking back, I would have definitely made him smaller in hindsight just so I could have made it a much more refined piece.

41:34Congratulations, Poisonous Perfection, Under Cakers, and Wicked Sculptors.

41:39You made it to the semi-finals.

41:41We'll see you next time.

41:45Next time, we are in the semi-final.

41:48The three remaining teams dare to enter an evil lair.

41:52I never did something this huge, but why not now?

41:55This could go either really great or really bad.

41:58I never did something that was really bad.

41:59I never did something that was really bad.
