JessDVD October 28, 2017 Share October 28, 2017 1 hour ago, Simon47 said: Which guest judges were simply annoying to you? All of the past ones? Well - when I said that I was thinking about Food Network in general and not necessarily just this show, but some things that went into that opinion of mine - guest judges on this show that don't seem to have much to say other than "Wow, that was scary". I know they're not there to explain the scientific process behind why that fondant looks the way it does, but it's nice to have a judge who can make some sort of constructive criticism or positive feedback other than "I just got chills". I've seen this in HW and also from Cake Wars Christmas (where they bring in more "generic" judges, not ones who work for the source material), judges that can't seem to think of anything productive to say. (I'm not saying I'd be any better, just that if they're going to get a guest judge, it would be nice if said guest judge had some sort of ability to evaluate. Although from watching cake shows on FN for the last 8 or 9 years and re-reading other's and my posts in the Cake Wars threads, I think many here could make some suitable comments) In Cake Wars (the sister to this one) and the old Challenge, I have been really annoyed by the judges who are there from this or that franchise being featured as the competition material, who harp on the competitors who don't make things EXACTLY 100% IDENTICAL to the source material. I specifically remember the lady from the Dr. Seuss foundation or whatever, who complained that someone's flowers weren't "Seussian" enough (that was from Challenge), and from my post in the Cake Wars Christmas thread, she was similarly harp-ish on the Seuss one from that show too. There have been others who seem to get better that they *are* there for their expertise in the source material, but the goal is to not make exact replicas either and judge accordingly. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15939-halloween-wars-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-3763618
penbrat October 30, 2017 Share October 30, 2017 (edited) I think the right team won, although I liked both of the teams in the finale (as long as it was any team but Team Tator or the team with the horrible sugar artist who spoke in limericks and got mad at the pumpkin guy for cutting his hand). I thought the winning piece was so cool and so different. I've never seen anything like it on this show. The winning sugar artist is amazing (sorry, I have not paid enough attention to try to learn everyone's names). However, overall, a very lackluster season.

mlp October 30, 2017 Share October 30, 2017 I thought I'd be happy with either team winning but, in the end, I wasn't. MM's Small Scare was MUCH better than Ghoul'd's IMO and I liked their final tableau better too. Christoffe does amazing work and his water and boats were great but the village was so small I couldn't even see it in the long shots. The octopus-monster thing was also good but not really outstanding - again IMO. The only feature I didn't like in MM's scene was the yellow blob that was supposed to be a firefly nest or something. If they hadn't said what it was, I would have had no idea what it was supposed to be. Having said that, I do think that both teams deserved to be in the finale and both did the best work since Richard Ruskell, Vinny Garcia (RIP) and the guy in the hat whose name I can't recall. The best displays ever on Halloween Wars though came from the early show with Karen Portaleo vs. Ray Villafane. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15939-halloween-wars-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-3768864

Though the water effects and the creature were good on Ghoul'd's, it seemed like everything else was a bit too small and looked squished. It was nice to have two qualified teams in the finale.

JessDVD October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 Tater's group won the main event on the 2nd round, I think. It was some kind of legend about a woman and a car and they used corn silk in it. I think MM's execution was better than Ghoul'd in many cases but I do feel like their stories are weaker. I never understood the idea behind the scarecrow no matter how many times he explained it, and I didn't really get the idea behind the devil last week. I think they were trying to think outside the box, but they were too far outside for it to still jive with the theme. I'd have preferred a Morbid Masterminds win but both pieces were great and it's just nice to see people who are generally normal and non-conniving. I will personally bet all the change in the bottom of my purse that the bit with Christoffe on Ghoul'd "storming off" was totally staged for teh drama.

I thought back then that she should have been disqualified when she deliberately removed and destroyed a part of the display that a teammate had made and was working on. They showed that bit during the "history" show and it made me mad all over again. I always wonder if the cake artist makes the treats during the 5 hours while they're working on the displays or if they're really made ahead of time. It doesn't seem like they'd have time for those elaborate creations when they're doing so much else. They do occasionally show shots of them working on the treats but it seems to me that those are always close ups which could be filmed any time and edited in. I could be totally wrong of course.

I HATED her season before because they got rid of better teams to sell contrived drama. I'm still super pissed about it. Her team leader is pretty good though. No real standouts for me this time. I was hoping for a Bling Bats (but they're never Bling Bats). :( 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15939-halloween-wars-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-4725885
mojoween October 5, 2018 Share October 5, 2018 I hope this happened on this show and I'm not thinking about one of the other Halloween shows I've seen lately, but was this show the one that had a rat that had a layer of white chocolate? And the judge, I’m assuming it was Shinmin unless my faulty memory has completely failed me, said that it should not have had the layer of white chocolate? What I didn’t get was WHY the layer was bad. I wish that was made more clear to me, someone who likes white chocolate and also knows nothing about baking.

Maverick October 5, 2018 Share October 5, 2018 It wasn't that there was a layer of white chocolate. It was that it was too think. White chocolate is extremely sweet plus it made the balance between chocolate and filling off.

Spunkygal October 7, 2018 Share October 7, 2018 Just a heads up that Haunted Gingerbread Showdown hosted by Sandra Lee premieres after tonight’s episode of HW. I haven’t seen any commercials for it but this is according to my DVR. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15939-halloween-wars-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-4731722
Spunkygal October 8, 2018 Share October 8, 2018 The right team won (still can’t remember team names—was it Zesty Zombies?) Both their small scare of the severed ears with earrings in the coffin and their clown v. zombie scene were really good. Boy, 45 minutes isn’t much time for that small scare and I would have liked to see the Frakenpuppy team have a few more minutes to finish. I’m glad Elizabeth’s amazing clown saved her team (Grave Expectations?) She is so talented. I just knew that Jewel would go apeshit when Elizabeth accidentally broke her unicycle but we didn’t see it if she did. As in past seasons, I wonder how much the extra person (or persons for small scare winners) actually help. I’ll get a glimpse of one of them once in a while. Maybe they’re doing the tedious rolling out fondant task. Loved the guest judge...he was fun...and loved Jonathan with the frankenhead on briefly. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15939-halloween-wars-general-discussion/page/6/#findComment-4734010
