Burger King and Dunkin' announced spooky, limited-time additions to their menus
Thousands of Halloween pumpkins displayed on farmland ahead of holiday
Nottingham, United Kingdom, residents have plenty of Halloween pumpkin options, thousands to be exact, from Maxey's Farm Shop just in time for spooky season.
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.

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.
