Burger King’s Launches New Spooky Lineup Menu Inspired By ‘The Addams Family’

This Halloween season, Burger King is stepping into spooky season with a lineup inspired by MGM Studios’ 2019 animated version of ‘The Addams Family.’ Kicking off on October 10th, burger lovers can enjoy a new menu that pays homage to the creepy characters. The fast food joint offers Gomez’s Churro Fries, Thing’s Rings, Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake, and Wednesday Whoppers. While the new menu may be perfect for the ghoulish season, the items will only be available briefly at select Burger King locations.

“Halloween holds a special place in our brand’s history, and we know our guests look forward to seeing what delicious and kooky creations we come up with each year,” Pat O’Toole, Burger King’s chief marketing officer, said.

The Wednesday Whopper is deemed the highlight of this year’s Halloween offerings, bringing a splash of color to the chain’s flamed-grilled burgers. The sandwich will still include all of the beloved toppings of the classic burger but on a vibrant purple bun. If you’re curious about the interesting hue, Burger King assures you that the color comes naturally from purple potatoes. In addition to its color, the bun will also feature black sesame seeds to add to the eerie feel.

Meanwhile, if you’re craving something a bit sweeter, Gomez’s churro Fries are the perfect treat. Covered in cinnamon sugar and served with chocolate dipping sauce, the churro fries are sure to leave you wanting more. However, the sweet desserts don’t end there. Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake, made with ice cream and purple and black cookie crumbles, adds to the list of sweet treats with its swirl of chocolate cake batter-flavored fudge.

Closing out the menu, the Thing’s Rings onion rings are a good choice to complement your Wednesday Whopper. The idea is a nod to The Addams Family’s iconic disembodied hand, Thing. But, of course, no meal is complete without a toy, and Burger King has included limited-edition toys inspired by The Addams Family’s characters.

Nonetheless, Burger King is no stranger to Halloween-themed treats. If you recall, the franchise released Halloween whoppers with black buns. Unfortunately, the burgers were a flop, but the fast food chain has learned from its mistakes.
