Halloween is taking a deliciously strange turn at Jack in the Box as Springfield’s most iconic family makes its way into the drive-thru. The fast-food chain has teamed up with The Simpsons for a limited-time Treehouse of Horror collaboration featuring a monstrous lineup of food, exclusive packaging, and collectibles inspired by the long-running animated series. From a new twist on Homer’s beloved doughnuts to a meal that brings some of Springfield’s most recognizable characters to life, there’s plenty for fans to discover. So what’s included in the new menu, and how long can you get it? Read on to find out.
A Munchie Meal straight from Springfield
Stealing the spotlight in this spooky rollout is the all-new Munchie Meal of Horror, a sinister spin on Jack in the Box’s iconic late-night staple. Diners can sink their teeth into either the Double Krusty Burger of Terror or the Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror. To round out the feast, each meal comes fully loaded with two tacos, a side of seasoned curly fries, and a drink.
The secret weapon behind these monstrous creations? An exclusive Spooky Simpsons Sauce — a specially crafted smoky BBQ ketchup available only during this promotional run. Both sandwiches are served on custom sesame seed buns modeled after the actual animated burgers featured in the show.
Four terrifyingly tasty entrées
For those looking to explore beyond the classic late-night box, the fast-food chain is rolling out four standalone Treehouse of Horror meals, each accompanied by fries and a drink:
- Krusty Burger of Terror: A single seasoned 100% beef patty layered with melted American cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, and Spooky Simpsons Sauce.
- Double Krusty Burger of Terror: Stacked higher with two seasoned beef patties and extra cheese, topped with the signature BBQ ketchup blend.
- Triple Krusty Burger of Terror: A towering three-patty nightmare featuring three slices of melted American cheese and all the fixings.
- Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror: Packed with two crispy chicken patties, Swiss-style cheese, lettuce, tomato, and the signature sauce.
Homer’s iconic donut gets a spooky makeover
Fans with a sweet tooth can also try the new Forbidden D’oh!nut Holes, Jack in the Box’s playful take on one of Springfield’s most recognizable foods.
The warm donut holes are coated in cinnamon sugar, covered with pink frosting and finished with rainbow sprinkles, creating a bite-sized version of Homer’s famous pink donut. The treat also comes in special packaging inspired by the classic Treehouse of Horror segment in which Homer undergoes a memorable transformation into a donut.
Glow-in-the-dark cups and easter egg packaging
The Halloween fun doesn’t stop with the food. The Munchie Meal of Horror comes with one of six collectible glow-in-the-dark cups, available while supplies last.
Each cup features a different Treehouse of Horror-inspired design, including characters such as Hugo, Bart’s evil twin brother, along with Krusty the Clown, Marge, Kang and Kodos, among others. That means fans looking to collect the complete set may need to make more than one trip to Jack in the Box.
The collaboration also gives the restaurant’s packaging a Springfield makeover. The exclusive Munchie Meal of Horror box includes characters and Easter eggs inspired by previous Treehouse of Horror episodes, while placing Jack Box himself in the middle of the animated series’ spooky world.
A homage to a Halloween television legacy
This drive-thru takeover draws directly from one of animated television’s most celebrated traditions: The Simpsons’ annual Treehouse of Horror Halloween specials. Debuting in 1990 during the show’s second season, these anthology episodes break away from series canon to deliver three self-contained stories packed with horror parodies, supernatural twists, and sci-fi tropes. For over three decades, the specials have produced some of the franchise’s most iconic lore — from alien overlords Kang and Kodos to Homer selling his soul to Devil Ned Flanders — making the non-canon universe a cornerstone of pop-culture Halloween nostalgia.
When and where to catch the takeover
The limited-time The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror menu is available beginning September 10 at participating Jack in the Box restaurants nationwide.
Fans can order through the Jack app, at JackintheBox.com or at participating locations. The menu and collectible cups are available while supplies last, so fans hoping to get their hands on the food or complete the six-cup collection may want to act quickly.
