It's Halloween, Chopped style! The mystery baskets are filled with treats, and the trick is on the four brave competitors. In the Appetizer Round, the chefs labor to unite a disturbing combination of ingredients, including a very daunting piece of meat. Then when the remaining chefs dare to go on to the Entrée Round, they find themselves up against more super scary ingredients, but it is fear of the clock that causes the most serious problems. And just when they thought it was safe to go back in the kitchen ... jeepers creepers! The finalists are in for a stunner.
