Halloween Wars season 14 episode 2 spoilers: What Nightmares Are Made Of

The second week of Halloween Wars season 14 sees the six remaining teams competing for the grand prize. This week, the challenge is themed around Nightmare on Elm Street in honor of the film's upcoming 40th anniversary.

Because of this momentous occasion, the teams are given seven hours to create a masterpiece of pumpkin, sugar, and cake to create a "nightmare come to life." Each team will also have to include some kind of movie-worthy special effect. For their sweet treats, the teams are randomly assigned a "nightmare" flavor, like garlic and seaweed, that they'll need to use to create something tasty.

• Delectable Demons, Black Licorice - Anna is terrified of the tooth fairy, as she should be as this nightmare creation involves a creature called the "tooth collector;" they made a white chocolate tooth with a licorice brownie inside
• 2 Ghouls and a Butcher, Garlic - Carl goes to town on an all-you-can-eat donut buffet and then gets abducted by aliens who gladly open him up to feast on the pastries; for their treat, they created a sweet chili mango donut
• Shriek Squad, Fermented Plums - Farmer John steps into his barn to find a terrifying monster inside; they paired their fermented plums with dates inside mini baklava-inspired cheesecakes
• Scream of the Crop, Ketchup - Meet Freuger's long-lost relative, Frida Frostbite; in honor of their frigid display, they crafted finger-shaped treats featuring toasted honey and ketchup marshmallow with sweet tomato jam
• Killer Instincts, Seaweed - A man tries carving a serpent into his pumpkin, only for the serpent to come to life and attack; brioche tarts with a seaweed crumble are served alongside it
• Death by Deco, Olives - Emily draws a raven and that night it comes to life in her bedroom; their dessert is a shortbread cookie with sweet mascarpone, figs, and olives

The winner of the challenge is Scream of the Crop. The judges were very impressed with Frida's display as well as the pleasant taste of their treat.

Despite winning last week, Shriek Squad lands in the bottom two because the judges felt that their farmer John display was messy and lacked control. But, ultimately, it's Killer Instincts who are sent home this week because their special effect failed to work and they didn't use much seaweed in their dessert.
