2001 Burger King Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Toys, A Glowing Dose of Nostalgia.
Back in October 2001, Burger King delivered a frightfully fun treat for Simpsons fans and Halloween lovers alike: a full set of 15 spooky, light-up figurines inspired by the show’s annual “Treehouse of Horror” specials. More than two decades later, these toys remain a beloved piece of Simpsons memorabilia and a perfect snapshot of early-2000s fast food promotions.
The Spooky Light Ups Collection:
Each character stands on a miniature graveyard base and features a light up element when you press the hidden button. The full lineup includes:
- Marge in a witchy pose
- Groundskeeper Willie as a classic horror villain
- Principal Skinner with eerie blue glow
- Mr. Burns as a mad scientist
- Bart bursting from a coffin
- Ned Flanders as the devil himself
- Milhouse in his own haunted scene
- Maggie beside a giant pumpkin
- Grampa Simpson creeping through a doorway
- Dr. Hibbert in lab-coat fright
- Barney trapped in icy white “monster” mode
- Lisa floating like a ghost bride
- Krusty the Clown leering with a cursed jack-in-the-box
- Homer lumbering as a graveyard ghoul
- Apu with arms raised, ready to scare
Each figure captures a classic Treehouse vibe: creepy, funny, and unmistakably Simpsons.
Burger King Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Figures Remain Popular
These toys were released nationwide with Kids Meals, but plenty of adults lined up to collect them all. Their built-in LED lights made them extra special at the time, since light-up premiums were still relatively new for fast food giveaways. Today, complete sets (especially with working lights) are hot items for collectors.
The Simpsons’ Tree-house of Horror episodes have always celebrated Halloween with clever parodies and macabre humor, and this 2001 Burger King set distills that spirit into a tangible keepsake. Whether you grew up chasing down every character or just discovered them on a nostalgia kick, these glowing ghouls remain a perfect blend of fast-food fun and TV history.
