Jack in the Box has teamed up with The Simpsons for a limited-time Halloween menu, and the reaction from fans has been immediate. The collaboration brings the animated show’s famous Treehouse of Horror specials to the drive-thru with themed burgers, glow-in-the-dark cups, and a sweet treat inspired by Homer’s most famous donut moment. The menu landed at participating restaurants nationwide on September 10, 2026, and fans are already sharing their excitement online.
What Is in the Munchie Meal of Horror
The centerpiece of the collaboration is the Munchie Meal of Horror, a spooky twist on Jack in the Box’s late-night Munchie Meal. The meal comes with a choice of a Double Krusty Burger of Terror or a Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror, served alongside two tacos, seasoned curly fries, and a drink. Both sandwiches feature the all-new Spooky Simpsons Sauce, described as a smoky BBQ ketchup made just for this partnership. The sandwiches are served on custom sesame seed buns designed to look like the burgers seen in the world of The Simpsons.
Each Munchie Meal also arrives in a special Treehouse of Horror box packed with characters and hidden references from the show’s long history of Halloween episodes. The box itself is a collectible item for fans who want to keep a piece of the collaboration.
Glow in the Dark Cups and Other Collectibles
Six special-edition glow-in-the-dark cups are available with the Munchie Meal of Horror while supplies last. Each cup features a different character from the Treehouse of Horror specials, including Hugo (Bart’s evil twin brother), Krusty the Clown, Marge, Homer, and Kang and Kodos. Fans have been particularly drawn to the cups, with many saying they plan to collect all six.
“Grabbed one yesterday to share with my daughter. She chose the orange Bart cup. I plan to go back for the Marge cat cup!” one fan wrote on Reddit.
The cups are only available with the Munchie Meal, which makes the full meal the only way to get them. That detail has pushed some fans to order the larger combo even if they only wanted a smaller item.
Forbidden D’oh Nut Holes and Spooky Sauce
For those who want a smaller taste of Springfield, Jack in the Box is also offering four themed entrees: the Krusty Burger of Terror, Double Krusty Burger of Terror, Triple Krusty Burger of Terror, and the Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror. Each of these meals comes with fries and a drink.
The sweet option is the Forbidden D’oh!nut Holes, inspired by the classic Simpsons moment when Homer sells his soul to the devil for a donut. These are warm donut holes dusted with cinnamon sugar, topped with pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles, a clear nod to the show’s iconic pink donut. One order of five donut holes costs $1.99, though pricing may vary by location.
Fans who have tried the donut holes have been especially vocal about them. One Reddit user said the burger and tacos were fine, but “the donuts were delicious.”
Fans React to the Simpsons Jack in the Box Menu
The reaction online has been a mix of nostalgia and immediate planning to visit a drive-thru. Many fans remember when The Simpsons partnered with Burger King in the early 2000s for a similar promotion, and they see this new collaboration as a return to that era of fast-food tie-ins.
“The Simpsons haven’t done something like this since the early 2000’s and I already want it,” one Reddit user wrote.
Another fan was more direct about wanting everything on the menu: “I was shocked. I anticipated something with Burger King next year to promote TNSM but this came out of nowhere. I need everything.”
The excitement is not limited to longtime viewers. Some fans who grew up watching the Halloween specials are now sharing the experience with their own children, turning the meal into a small family event. The glow-in-the-dark cups have become a particular point of interest, with fans comparing which character they received and planning return trips to complete the set.
Where and When to Get the Simpsons Jack in the Box Meal
The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror menu is available now at participating Jack in the Box restaurants across the United States for a limited time. The chain operates mainly in the US, with some locations in other countries, but this specific promotion is focused on the domestic market. Fans in the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, India, and other regions without Jack in the Box locations will not be able to order the meal directly.

The collaboration is tied to the upcoming Treehouse of Horror XXXVII special, which is scheduled to air this fall. That episode will include parodies of Freaky Friday, Pet Sematary, and Smile, along with a stop-motion segment inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas. The menu is meant to build excitement for the special while giving fans something to enjoy in the weeks leading up to it.
“The best collaborations start with understanding what excites our fans, and we know The Simpsons has a special connection with Jack guests,” said Katelyn Zborowski of Jack in the Box. “Jack and The Simpsons share an irreverent sense of humor, and Treehouse of Horror has put its own twisted spin on Halloween for decades.”
The menu will only be around while supplies last, and the glow-in-the-dark cups are already selling quickly at some locations. Fans who want to try the Munchie Meal of Horror or collect the cups should check with their local Jack in the Box for availability, as some restaurants may run out of specific items faster than others.
