Jonathan Elias, “The Pastry Guru,” returns to the Food Network for a new season of “Halloween Wars.” The new season premiered on September 22 at 9:00 p.m. on the Food Network with host Jonathan Bennett, who takes scary to a whole new level as he celebrates the most iconic and classic Halloween characters of all time – the monsters!

Alongside judges Shinmin Li and Aarti Sequeria, Jonathan challenges eight teams of the best cake, sugar and pumpkin artists in the world to create mind-blowing monster-themed displays complete with mouthwatering treats. And for the first time ever, each team this season is captained by a former Halloween Wars champion. In the end, only one team walks away with the championship and its $25,000 grand prize.

Each team was charged with capturing the essence of iconic and classic Halloween monsters with mouth-watering treats made to impress. In the end, one team is left standing to walk away with the “Halloween Wars” championship. Elias, whose team name is Shriek Squad, is also featured on “Road to Halloween Wars,” which aired at 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 22. This show explored how the Halloween Wars contestants were cast.

Subsequent episodes in which the remaining contestants face off are scheduled for September 29, October 6, October 13, October 20, and October 27.
