Host Alyson Hannigan challenges the six carvers to depict a flavor reaction -- salty, sweet, sour or spicy -- with detailed 3-D face sculpting. Then they get to flex their imagination as they create a gigantic Halloween feast for a special guest of honor. From 3-D frog brains to pumpkin pepperoni pizza, judges Marc Evan and Terri Hardin have their work cut out for them to decide who goes home and who remains to fight for the title of Outrageous Pumpkins Champion.
Four ace pumpkin carvers have three rounds to amaze the judges with their sculpting skills. Round one is the classic Jack-o-lantern, round 2 is 3D pumpkins, and in round three the carvers must create their own pumpkin masterpiece. The winner will take home ten thousand dollars.
Four of the country's best amateur pumpkin carvers square off to put a new face on a Halloween classic. There are three rounds of competition: the traditional Jack O'Lantern, 3-D pumpkin carving and a free-style round where anything goes.
