Damaris Phillips teams up 14 of the world's top carvers and challenges them to pursue their dreams by bringing terrifying nightmares to life; impressing judges Terri Hardin and Deane Arnold will put the teams one step closer to the cash prize.
The all-star teams create a crime scene by carving a specific spooky crime location, a peccant perpetrator and a monstrous murder weapon.
Damaris Phillips invites the carvers into a mad scientist's lab, where they create two horrifying hybrid beasts that battle in a duel.
To move on to the all-star finale, the teams create supernatural-themed stories while contending with another jarring jump scare.
The final teams turn classic children's stories into scary tales for the all-stars championship title, the hallowed prize belts and 50,000 dollars.
