If you’re here, reading this blog, there’s a good chance you know McBoo. First introduced to me at the tender age of six years old, through the McDonald’s Halloween happy meal buckets, McBoo was the “O” faced jack-o-lantern bucket. McBoo was always my favorite of the three, the other two …
The masses have spoken (loudly, and for years) and McDonald’s finally gave us the vintage style Halloween Happy Meal buckets we’ve been clamoring for. I rather enthusiastically introduce you to the 2022 McDonald’s Halloween Buckets. There are 3 buckets, each with 3 faces. The first, formerly known as McWitch, is …

Another year of Halloween SHADE thrown by McDonald’s. The 50th anniversary Disney kids meal premiums parade right through Halloween 2021. So much for the 2021 McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal toys even being seasonally themed, really. What a bummer. These seem like they’d be aimed toward adults, not kids. There are …

Burger King’s Halloween 1999 kids club kids meal promotion were Silly Slammers clip-ons. Burger King Silly Slammers, from top left to bottom right: Redeye, Boo Hoo, Witchazel, Batty, and Li’ Jackie & Mo. Don’t quite remember these? Sink your teeth into this advertisement for them:
This trio of 3 ghoulish little creatures were the Halloween kids meal prizes from Burger King in 1989 . The Burger King Tricky Treaters can be taken apart and put back together in any way your little heart desires. This enabled kids to create different monsters from all the parts. There …
This Hardee’s & Roy Roger’s Halloween trick or treat pail featured all the monsters on one glow-in-the-dark bucket, and in their speech balloons they offered Halloween trick or treating safety tips. I wonder how many kids meals would have come in buckets had McDonald’s not pioneered the Halloween kids meals. Frankenstein …
Hardee’s Frightfully Fun Halloween, fun for Halloween 1995! This bucket seems designed more for a kid’s meal than actual trick or treating, again glows in the dark and features some monsters. A ghost, a mummy, Frankenstein, Dracula, and a little spider. There are 2 little games on the bucket, …
Hallmark Halloween Hide-a-Ways were a cute Halloween premium in 1989. They were similar to a popular toy at the time called Smooshees, which were squishy creatures that fit in a little plastic house. These toys, called Halloween Hide-a-Ways, were by Hallmark and sold at Hardee’s restaurants in fall 1989. What’s funny …
2020 McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal is not Halloween at all. Like the rest of 2020, McDonald’s is letting us down hard by offering odd-looking Marvel Studios Heroes toys.

And the McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal 2018 toys are… Ew. Last year, at least, McDonald’s attempted to pass off their Happy Meal toys that happened to fall on Halloween as something costume related, they gave away My Little Pony and Transformer masks. But this year, I’m afraid, they aren’t even …
Kids in 1987 collected the same pails as those they received in 1986 – the classics! The 1987 McDonald’s Halloween Pails are McBoo, McPunk’n, and McGoblin. There may be experts out there who can tell 1986 from 1987 buckets, although I cannot. Copyrights on subsequent buckets, even way past 1987, …
