1989 saw the addition of McWitch and McGhost.  1990 switched to a happier pumpkin face, and the witch’s eyes are open and the ghost now has white pupils.  The buckets for 1990 were “neon”, which means they were a bit brighter and the coolest thing, the ghost actually glowed in …

In 1991 McDonald’s nodded to our favorite orange pumpkin McBoo by naming their Halloween Happy Meal premiums that year after him – three vinyl, glow-in-the-dark plastic bags. What’s kind of funny is there aren’t any pumpkins! There’s a witch (green bag), Franken-kid (orange bag) and a ghost (purple bag). 

I love the Halloween pails from McDonald’s. Growing up, I had a collection of them, and year after year they were molded 1986 into the bottom. I just had them stacked together, lids going everywhere. I’d take them outside, place them around the front of my house and put a …

The 2012 McDonald’s Halloween Buckets again character buckets, this year that character is Scooby-Doo.
