Over the course of the next four weeks, five teams of cake decorators, sugar specialists and pump- kin carvers work together to create impressively horrific Halloween displays. They'll try to outdo each other in hopes of impressing the judges, who will eliminate one group of challengers per week until the last remain- ing team wins the $50,000 grand prize.

For others, how- ever, the end of the month can't come soon enough. October 31st is a big deal for those of us who use Hal- loween as an opportunity to put their creativity on dis- play. From costumes to treats and decorations, many throw themselves completely into the spirit of things. Beginning this week, the Food Network will too. Premiering Sunday, Oct. 2, the competition series "Hal- Each episode features a specific Halloween theme that must be incorporated into the creations made of cake, candy and even pump- kins. In the premiere epi- sode, the teams battle it out over displays featuring witches and a haunted house.

Stine, for one, has been penning kid-friendly horror stories since the 1980s. There's also actresses Jaime King and Scout Taylor-Comp- ton, who have starred in a few thrillers. But the biggest name among them? Gram- my-nominated artist Rob Zombie.
