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 …
1988 McDonald’s McBunny Buckets. What a useful thing a bucket can be. If you’re a fan of this blog, you know how we treasure our Halloween buckets, and rightfully so. They can hold what? Yeah. Halloween candy. McDonald’s used to make excellent choices by giving us 80’s and 90’s kids …
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 …
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. No mention or nod to Halloween at all. Thanks McDonald’s. You suck. Instead of McBoo we get McBooShit. Nobody looks like anybody …

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, …
In the year between McNugget Buddies and Cassette tapes, the 1994 McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal had some really cool bucket designs! The three designs introduced for Halloween 1994 were an orange pumpkin with a goofy face and a green lid, a white ghost pail with white lid, and a purple …

1997 McDonald’s Halloween Happy Meal Prizes Jungle Book Nerds Candy Dispensers.

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 …
