Burger King® is bringing an extra dose of frightful fun to fans this Halloween season with the launch of its first-ever Monster Menu—a spooky, limited-time lineup of reimagined favorites designed to thrill both the taste buds and the imagination. Known for its tradition of celebrating Halloween in playful and flavorful ways, Burger King is stepping up its seasonal offerings in 2025 with a menu that delivers bold flavors, eye-catching presentation, and a heavy dose of holiday spirit.
Available beginning September 30 at participating restaurants across the United States, the Monster Menu invites Guests of all ages to indulge in creepy, creative twists on classic Burger King favorites. From flame-grilled burgers to sweet, candy-loaded desserts, every item has been carefully designed to tie into iconic monster themes, making this year’s Halloween dining experience one of Burger King’s most immersive yet.
A Frightfully Flavorful Lineup
The Monster Menu features four new limited-time creations, each inspired by the legends of Halloween’s most recognizable creatures.
Jack-O-Lantern Whopper® – The crown jewel of the menu is the classic Whopper®, reimagined with a festive twist. Guests will recognize the iconic flame-grilled beef patty layered with American cheese, smoky bacon, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, onions, pickles, ketchup, and creamy mayonnaise. But the true Halloween magic comes from the bun—a bold orange roll, sprinkled with black sesame seeds, created using natural spices to achieve its striking hue. With its pumpkin-like appearance, the Jack-O-Lantern Whopper is as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious.
Vampire Nuggets – These crispy chicken nuggets are shaped like fangs and bats, served in packaging that resembles a coffin for a playful touch. Perfect for dipping in Burger King’s signature sauces, the Vampire Nuggets are available both a la carte and as part of the King Jr. Meal®, making them an option for kids and adults alike. The themed design not only adds to the Halloween fun but makes the nuggets a sharable snack for friends and families looking to get into the spooky spirit.
Mummy Mozzarella Fries – A monstrous twist on the beloved mozzarella stick, these crispy, golden bites are “wrapped” in breading to resemble the bandages of a mummy. Served with marinara sauce for dipping, the Mummy Mozzarella Fries come in special mummy-themed boxes that are destined to become collector’s items for fans who appreciate seasonal packaging as much as the snack itself.
Franken-Candy Sundae – No Halloween celebration would be complete without sweets, and Burger King delivers with this electrifying dessert. The Franken-Candy Sundae features creamy vanilla soft serve topped with OREO® cookie crumbles, drizzled with vibrant purple syrup, and finished with a popping mix of green and purple candies. The result is a dessert that is both visually striking and satisfyingly crunchy, capturing the spirit of Frankenstein’s monster in a cup.
A Halloween Tradition at Burger King
Burger King has long leaned into the Halloween season as an opportunity to showcase its playful side. Previous years have featured black-bunned burgers, spooky promotions, and even “ghostly” packaging designs. With the Monster Menu, however, the brand has raised the bar by introducing multiple themed items simultaneously, each supported by unique packaging, crowns, and even family-friendly activities.
Joel Yashinsky, Chief Marketing Officer of Burger King US&C, emphasized the company’s commitment to creating experiences that extend beyond the food itself.
“BK fans have come to expect something spirited from us during the Halloween season, and each year we try to bring even more fun to families,” Yashinsky said. “This year, we’ve dialed up the fun and flavor, not only with our ‘Monster Menu’ line-up complete with themed menu innovation, packaging, and a special crown, but also with collectible buckets and Scooby-Doo toys—creating even more experiences for everyone.”
Fun for the Little Monsters
Burger King hasn’t forgotten about its youngest Guests. As part of the Monster Menu rollout, the brand is introducing a special-edition King Jr. Meal®, marking the first major innovation in the kids’ lineup in years. The meal includes the new Vampire Nuggets alongside an exclusive collection of toys inspired by the beloved characters of Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang.
Children can take home toys featuring Scooby, Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred, while joining in on monster-chasing adventures with their favorite characters. This playful tie-in underscores Burger King’s efforts to provide family-friendly dining experiences that combine food and entertainment.
Limited-Edition Halloween Buckets
To make the Halloween experience even more complete, Burger King is releasing Monster Menu-inspired collectible buckets starting October 13, available at participating restaurants while supplies last. Much like the classic trick-or-treat pails many families remember from childhood, these buckets are perfect for collecting candy—or even a batch of Vampire Nuggets.
The buckets are designed with festive, monster-themed artwork, ensuring they remain useful and fun long after the Halloween decorations have been packed away. For parents, the buckets provide a convenient, reusable option for trick-or-treating, while kids will enjoy the chance to bring a bit of the Burger King Monster Menu magic along with them on Halloween night.
More Than Just a Meal
The launch of the Monster Menu represents more than just a new set of menu items. It highlights Burger King’s broader strategy of creating seasonal experiences that bring families together and differentiate the brand in the competitive fast-food space. By offering limited-time foods, themed packaging, and exclusive collectibles, Burger King adds a layer of excitement that keeps Guests engaged and encourages repeat visits throughout the season.
From a marketing standpoint, the timing of the launch—just as fall festivities are kicking off nationwide—ensures that Burger King is part of the Halloween conversation. The Monster Menu is designed not only to appeal to children and families but also to adults looking to celebrate the season in a fun, nostalgic way.
A Spooky Season to Remember
Whether it’s the glowing orange bun of the Jack-O-Lantern Whopper, the playful design of the Vampire Nuggets coffin box, the cheesy satisfaction of the Mummy Mozzarella Fries, or the candy-coated crunch of the Franken-Candy Sundae, the Monster Menu offers something for every kind of Halloween enthusiast. And with additional experiences like themed crowns, collectible buckets, and Scooby-Doo toys, Burger King has positioned itself as a go-to destination for families seeking festive food and entertainment this fall.
Halloween has always been about more than just costumes and candy—it’s about creating lasting memories. With its Monster Menu, Burger King is inviting Guests to step into a dining experience that feels like part of the celebration itself. From Sept. 30 through Halloween night, fans can sink their teeth into spooky new creations and enjoy the thrill of a meal that is equal parts tasty and terrifyingly fun.
