Patton Oswalt, Leslie Jones, Rachel Dratch and Adam Pally have each bitten off more than they can chew in a Halloween-themed "The Great American Baking Show" special. They'll quake before they can earn a Paul Hollywood handshake, because hosts Casey Wilson and Andrew Rannells are running around the tent in costume, in the name of “exposure therapy".

Here's how to watch “The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Halloween" online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.

'The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Halloween' streams, release date

"The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Halloween" premiered on Wednesday, October 1 in the U.S..
• WATCH FREE — The Roku Channel (U.S.)
• Unblock Roku — Use NordVPN (risk-free trial)

Hollywood is of course joined by his fellow "The Great British Bake Off" co-star Prue Leith, but the beady-eyed judging duo might not be the primary source of anxiety for the contestants. Wilson and Rannells have got into the scary season spirit, and would very much like to help the contestants conquer their fears.

Adam, incidentally, used to star on "Happy Endings" with Casey, while Rannells, whose definitive portrayal of Elder Price in "The Book of Mormon" earned him a Tony Award nomination, was once on the other side of the "Great American Baking Show" kitchen benches.

Patton, who starred as Cinnabon-loving eHarmony customer service rep Todd Maher in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" might be a dark horse if his baking skills are as sharp as his wit, while Rachel, best know as Debbie Downer on "SNL", is quietly confident — perhaps because of how utterly at sea Leslie looks.

Read on as we explain how to watch "The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Halloween" online from anywhere, including free options.
