Burger King, Dunkin' launch Halloween wars early with Wednesday's Whopper, spider donuts and more

Fast-food chains around the country are soon featuring spooky – or altogether kooky – additions to their menus to celebrate Halloween.

At Burger King, the Addams Family menu will be available starting Oct. 10 until supplies last, a representative from the Miami-based chain told Fox News Digital.

"This year, Burger King wanted to take it up a notch by creating a menu line up of four items, with each delicious innovation inspired by a member of The Addams Family," the spokesperson said via email.

Customers will be able to sink their teeth into "Wednesday's Whopper," a Whopper with a purple bun made from purple potatoes; "Thing's Rings," onion rings with new packaging; "Gomez's Churro Fries," which a news release billed as "deliciously crispy, fried churros coated in cinnamon sugar and paired with chocolate dipping sauce"; and "Morticia's Kooky Chocolate Shake," featuring "creamy soft serve mixed with chocolate cake batter fudge and topped with black and purple cookie pieces." 

The new Halloween-themed items are the latest in the chain's "unique innovations inspired by spooky season," a Burger King spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

The items were the result of a collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios consumer products, the spokesperson said. 

On the breakfast front, Dunkin' will also have a slew of Halloween-themed items, the Massachusetts-based company said in an Oct. 1 news release.
