Halloween Baking Championship Season 11
Hosted by the one and only John Henson, Season 11 of “Halloween Baking Championship” kicks off with a special two-hour premiere on Monday, September 15th, at 9 p.m. ET. This year, ten talented bakers will enter a terrifying haunted mansion full of secret passages and surprises around every corner.
Throughout the season, they’ll face spooky challenges inspired by the manor and, for the first time, confront their fears! In a new twist, the bottom three bakers in most episodes will have to bake for their lives. Judges Stephanie Boswell, Carla Hall, and Zac Young will decide who gets to keep competing for the $25,000 grand prize and the title of Halloween Baking Champion!
