Burger King Taps Scooby-Doo and Mystery Inc. Gang For Halloween Promo

Some meddling kids (and their goofy canine sidekick) are arriving at Burger King this Halloween.

Beginning Sept. 16, customers who purchase a King Jr. Meal can get one of six collectibles inspired by Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang, each depicting a character from the series with an accompanying Halloween mask.

The collectibles include: Scooby-Doo with a mummy mask; Shaggy with a skeleton mask; Velma with a witch mask; Daphne with a cat mask; Fred with a Frankenstein mask and Headless Horseman with a ghost mask.

The burger chain is also bringing back its BK Halloween Buckets, which were originally available in 2023. Beginning Oct. 10, the buckets will be available for $2 at participating U.S. locations.

All Halloween promotional items are available at Burger King while supplies last.

In 2024, Burger King partnered with Amazon MGM Studio Consumer Products on Halloween-related promotions for the film and TV show the “Adams Family.” The chain offered a "Whopper Wednesday, " a burger with a unique purple potato bun, and gave away collectible toys based on the property, such as a clicking Gomez and a wind-up Cousin It.
