All the Chain Restaurants Where You Can Get Deals on Spooky Foods for Halloween

Searching for a way to liven up your Halloween?

This October, some of the most popular chains around the country are offering some terrifyingly good deals. No matter your mood, there’s something for you—including Jack-O’-Lantern shaped pizza that you can order straight to your bed. Read on to see how you can make the most of this spooky month.

Chipotle

When Chipotle tweeted “It’s Boorito season” on October 1, we still weren’t sure whether they would be bringing back their $4 Boorito deal for Halloween. Thankfully, the Mexican food chain has finally confirmed the news: If you show up to a participating Chipotle location in costume on October 31, you can get a burrito, burrito bowl, salad, or tacos for only $4. So dig out your favorite superhero or nerd outfit and head on over to Chipotle after 3 p.m. to get an entrée for better than half price — just make sure you put in at least some effort because the employees themselves will be the ones deciding what counts as a costume.

Applebee’s

The popular chain is offering another one of their signature cocktails of the month, and this time it’s a tropical $1 Vampire Cocktail. The drink is served in a 10-oz. mug, and it’s made with rum, strawberry, passion fruit, dragon fruit, and pineapple juice. Best of all, it’s topped with vampire fangs and a cherry—for all your Halloween costume needs.

Chili’s

Chili’s is serving a $5 Fangtastic ‘Rita all month long. This spooky Margarita of the Month has a set of fangs on top and features a blend of Lunazul® Blanco Tequila, Cointreau®, Monin® Blood Orange and fresh sour. Plus, Chili’s loyalty members can bring their kids along for some Halloween fun too: on October 31 only, kids can eat free with the purchase of a regular entrée.

IHOP

The breakfast chain definitely has one of the most elaborate Halloween specials out there. Now through November 3, they’re offering five different Addams Family-themed creations in honor of the new film’s release. These include “Wednesday’s Web-Cakes” (seen above) that are topped with Hershey’s chocolate syrup and violet whipped cream, “Gomez’ Green Chili Omelette” with pulled pork, “Uncle Fester’s Chocolate Ice Cream Shake” with violet whipped cream, “Morticia’s Haunted Hot Chocolate” with violet whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate syrup, and “Kooky Kids Combo.” Plus, their Kids Eat Free special is back until November 3 from 4-10PM every day with the purchase of one adult entrée. Kids 12 and under will receive a free entrée from the kid’s menu at participating locations.

Krispy Kreme

The donut joint just introduced three scary-good cyclops Halloween donuts to the menu for this month only. “Slimon” is a slime monster made with a glazed doughnut covered in green icing, filled with lemon “slime,” and topped with a green Kreme dollop that looks like an eye. “Mumford” is a mummy-themed cyclops doughnut made with a glazed doughnut that’s “wrapped” with white and purple frosting. Lastly, “Hypno-Henry” is filled with cake batter, dipped in yellow icing and orange sanding sugar, and coated with a white icing swirl. If you stop by a participating location on the day of Halloween while wearing your costume, you get a free donut of choice.

If you’re looking to stay home this Halloween, this one’s for you. Papa John’s is celebrating with the return of their Jack-O’-Lantern Pizza, a large, thin-crust pepperoni pizza in the shape of a carved pumpkin. Pepperoni is used to line the “pumpkin” borders, the pizza’s smile and the eye sockets, while the eyes themselves are made using black olives. You can order this pizza online or via their Papa Rewards app for $11 using the code JACKOLANTERN.

Burger King

In a chilling YouTube video, Burger King announced the arrival of their new Ghost Whopper. The Halloween burger was taste-tested by spirits themselves, the video claims, and approved by 11/10 people. It’s served on a white cheddar-cheese flavored “spectral white” bun, which makes the burger look ghostly, and topped with tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, pickles, and sliced white onions. Although it’s only available for a limited time at 10 select Burger King locations across the US, it’s well worth the trip. According to a press release, one of the spirits said “‘It’s beyond belief to experience this taste.'” The burger will go on sale on Thursday, October 24 and will sell for $4.59.
