Burger King’s Addams Family Menu Has Landed — Here’s What’s in It

Burger King is going all out for Halloween this year with four new Addams Family-inspired menu items: Wednesday’s Whopper, Thing’s Rings, Gomez’s Churro Fries, and Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake. Here's when you can try them all.

Nobody loves Halloween more than Burger King. Every October, the chain rolls out a limited-edition Spooky Season special. Last year, it was the Ghost Pepper Whopper and Ghost Pepper Chicken Fries. The year before that, it debuted the aforementioned Ghost Pepper Whopper, and added a “Ghost Detector” to the BK app that supposedly let you know if you were living in a haunted house. And then there was the time they released the “Nightmare King,” a burger with a dark green bun that it claimed could actually influence your dreams.

This year, the King is celebrating Halloween with a group of people who have been creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky for more than 80 years. That’s right: Burger King has teamed up with the Addams Family for a special menu that will launch on Thursday, October 10, with four new Addams-inspired items.

“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, chief marketing officer for Burger King North America, said in a statement provided to Food & Wine. “We know The Addams Family also has an affinity for the scarier things in life, so we’re excited to offer fans not one, but four new takes on their favorite BK products this Halloween season with these Addams Family-inspired creations.”

Burger King hasn’t forgotten the kids either (although we’re disappointed that Pugsly didn’t get his own personalized menu item). Later this month, it will release a line of Addams Family toys for its King Jr. Meals. And if your Halloween can’t possibly involve too much Burger King, you can even dress as a side of Chicken Fries. The chain is currently selling Chicken Fries costumes on its website.

Happy Halloween, whether you’re creepy, kooky, or a little of both. Read on to see what the Addams Family Menu includes.

Wednesday’s Whopper
This sandwich takes all of the trappings of a classic flame-grilled Whopper, tops it with Swiss cheese, ketchup, lettuce, mayo, onions, pickles, and tomatoes — and serves it up on a purple bun. (The violet bun gets its signature shade from purple potatoes.)

Thing’s Rings
The Addams Family’s long-time companion, Thing, was just a disembodied hand — which means it is perfectly designed to grab a few crispy onion rings right out of the package. During the month of October, BK’s rings come in a special Addams-family-designed sleeve.

Gomez’s Churro Fries
The tango-loving patriarch of the family is celebrated with a side of crispy fried churros. Each order is liberally dusted with cinnamon sugar and served with a chocolate dipping sauce.

Morticia’s Kooky Chocolate Shake
Rounding out the seasonal menu is this shake, which starts with creamy soft-serve, mixes in chocolate cake batter fudge, and then sprinkles some black and purple cookie pieces on top.

It's a shame we don't get this here in the UK as it would be awesome to be able to get it. We don't tend to get many menu changes for Halloween at all in the UK which is a shame.

That sounds AMAZING but sadly I live in a small town so we don't have a BK.

It will be fun when they gathered together for Halloween 2024 and I hope everyone had their fun.
It's quite amazing to see something like this in the news and I hope to witness one in the coming year.
