Halloween Wars: Hayride of Horror
In 2017, a special three-part competition aired in addition to the usual Halloween Wars series, with the heading "Hayride of Horror". Two five-person teams battle head to head in a three episode event where they have a chance to win up to $45,000 ($15,000 each episode); there are no eliminations. Each team has three pumpkin carvers, a cake baker, and a sugar artist. Following a similar round format as "Halloween Wars", they make a small set piece in the first round (called the "First Shock") to get an advantage in the main challenge (called the "Final Fright"); first pick of the pumpkin patch. Both teams get two assistants in the second, main round.

The teams work outside, in an actual farm, and their displays are put out on the trail where dozens of hayriders will ride through, try some special treats, and choose the winning set piece. Each episode, a winning team gets $15,000. Harley Morenstein serves as the host. Zac Young (pastry chef) and Bianca Appice (SFX make-up artist) are the two judges.

Scream Seekers: Danny Kissel (pumpkin), Fred "Froggy" Isla (sugar), Jewel Burgess (cake), Dave Smith (pumpkin), Frank Reaver (pumpkin)
