Burger King Unveils Spooky New Monster Menu
Burger King has officially entered the Halloween spirit with the launch of its first-ever Monster Menu, a collection of four themed items that reimagine fan favorites with a festive twist. The company announced the lineup on September 29, adding that it’s designed to “dial up the fun and flavor” for spooky season.
Introducing The Jack-O-Lantern Whopper
At the center of the Monster Menu is the Jack-O-Lantern Whopper, featuring a striking bright orange bun colored naturally with spices and topped with black sesame seeds. The burger includes American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, ketchup, and mayo – making it a bold seasonal update to the classic Whopper.
Vampire Nuggets Sink Their Teeth Into Halloween
Another standout item is the Vampire Nuggets, shaped like bats and vampire fangs. These bite-sized pieces come in a coffin-shaped box and are available a la carte or as part of the Halloween-themed King Jr. Meal, according to Burger King’s announcement.
Mummy Mozzarella Fries For Cheese Lovers
Cheese fans can enjoy Mummy Mozzarella Fries, a creative twist on mozzarella sticks “wrapped” in crispy breading and served with marinara dipping sauce. The packaging features a mummy design, adding to the seasonal experience.
Franken-Candy Sundae Brings A Sweet Shock
For dessert, Burger King is offering the Franken-Candy Sundae, made with creamy vanilla soft serve topped with Oreo crumbles, purple candy syrup, and popping candy in green and purple. The chain describes it as “electrifyingly sweet” and perfect for Halloween celebrations.
Special Halloween-Themed Kids Meal
To keep the spooky fun going for families, Burger King is also releasing a Halloween King Jr. Meal. This meal features the Vampire Nuggets and comes with collectible toys inspired by Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Gang, making it a treat for kids and collectors alike.
Limited-Edition Halloween Bucket For Trick-Or-Treaters
Starting October 13, customers can also pick up a limited-edition Burger King Halloween Bucket while supplies last. The chain says the bucket is perfect for trick-or-treating and adds to the fun of the Monster Menu launch.
Burger King’s Focus On Festive Fun
Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer for Burger King U.S. and Canada, said in a press release that the company has “dialed up the fun and flavor” for Halloween this year with the Monster Menu, collectible buckets, Scooby-Doo toys, and a festive crown. The goal, he explained, is to make the holiday more exciting for customers.
Wendy’s Joins The Halloween Spirit Too
Burger King isn’t the only fast-food chain joining the spooky fun. Wendy’s recently introduced the Frosty Frights Kids’ Meal, which lets children choose between nuggets, a hamburger, or a cheeseburger along with fries or apple bites. The meal also comes with collectible Frosty-inspired toys, available for a limited time this October.
