Best Limited Edition Halloween Menu Items And Where To Get Them

Wednesday Season 2 is taking Netflix viewers by storm, and the young horror icon isn’t stopping there: she’s taking her world domination to fast food. The popular Addams Family spin-off series has partnered with Wendy’s for a limited-edition Meal of Misfortune, available now and designed to evoke the pigtail-wearing teen’s signature brand of woe. 

The meal whipped up by the eldest Addams daughter features the Rest in 10-Piece Nuggets and small Cursed & Crispy Fries, paired with two Dips of Dread mystery sauces — appropriately named, we think. (Sauce options include You Can’t Hyde, This Will Sting, Grave Mistake, and Nowhere to Woe.) But if you aren’t willing to risk whatever Wednesday has in store, you can also try the Raven’s Blood Frosty, a dark cherry-flavored treat that comes with a “Spoon of Gloom” and a Wednesday-themed cup.

Is candy not really your speed when it comes to Halloween treats? Well, if that’s the case, then Burger King has you covered with their all-new Monster Menu, a limited-time Halloween menu featuring multiple hauntingly tasty delights that offer a twist on some of its most beloved menu items.

The special menu, which will be available in US restaurants through Halloween, includes four food items, including the Jack-O-Lantern Whopper, which features a striking orange bun with black sesame seeds; Vampire Nuggets shaped like fangs and bats, served in a carton shaped like a coffin; Mummy Mozzarella Fries, served in a limited-edition mummy themed box; and the Franken-Candy Sundae, featuring vanilla soft serve topped with Oreo pieces, purple syrup, and purple and green popping candy. Kids will also be able to get their hands on special limited edition trick-or-treat buckets, as well as toys inspired by Scooby Doo.

If slashers are your favorite when it comes to Halloween monsters, then Fanta has you covered with their brand new soft drink collection, which brings to life some of the most iconic slashers of cinema history in can form, available on shelves now. 

The sweet collection features five new can designs featuring your favorite slashers bursting from within, each paired with a flavor unique to their personal brand of horror. The pairings include Freddy Fazbear on orange (and zero sugar orange) cans, The Black Phone’s Grabber on strawberry, and Michael Myers on pineapple, while the king of the killer dolls gets his very own flavor, “Chucky’s Punch,” a fruit punch drink featuring a can printed not only with the deadly doll himself, but also the pattern of his iconic Good Guy sweater.

Jason Voorhees is making his comeback to the big screen, and he’s not letting anyone forget it. This year, the folks behind Jason Universe have teamed up with cider brand Angry Orchard for an exclusive Halloween variety pack, featuring three unique Halloween treat-inspired ciders, including Berry Bewitched, Headless Pumpkin, and Blood Orange, plus their fan-favorite regular flavor Cinnful Apple. The Blood Orange cans also feature special artwork of Jason’s memorable mask that will chill you to the bone, and the pack itself is adorned with glow-in-the-dark packaging that reveals a spooky skeleton tree and a glowing version of Jason’s mask. 

But that’s not all — if you’re not interested in buying a whole variety pack, Angry Orchard’s staple flavor Crisp Apple will also feature special, limited edition can art this Halloween season, with Jason invading the orchard in both sixteen and twenty-four ounce sizes. Both individual cans and the Thriller Pack can be purchased wherever alcohol is sold or on Angry Orchard’s website.

The star of the new collection is their new Doritos Collisions: Stranger Pizza x Cool Ranch, which mashes up two flavors inspired not only by the ‘80s but by one of Doritos’ most iconic flavors, which was all the rage in the late ‘80s. Available in stores now, the new treat retails for $6.29USD for a nine ounce bag or $2.69 for a 2.6 ounce bag. Limited-edition Stranger Things themed packaging will also be coming to four classic Doritos flavors, including Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch, Sweet & Tangy BBQ, and Spicy Sweet Chili, plus on their mini versions of Spicy Sweet Chili, which will also come with special glow-in-the-dark details.

The sweetest of all treats — ice cream — is getting a hauntingly good twist courtesy of the folks at Cold Stone Creamery. Their iconic Boo Batter flavor is back for a limited time this year, in the form of three unique treats that’ll leave you dying for more. 

Available now at participating Cold Stone locations until October 31, the three treats include Trick or Treat, which features Boo Batter ice cream packed with Kit Kat Pieces, M&Ms, and pieces of Halloween Oreo cookies; the Boo Batter Ice Cream Taco, which features a waffle cone hard taco stuffed with Boo Batter, dipped in chocolate and covered in spooky sprinkles; and the Witches’ Boo, which mixes Boo Batter into a milkshake, combined with Halloween Oreo cookies and creepy-cute sprinkles.
