Back in 1993, just in time for Halloween, Tim Burton‘s classic The Nightmare Before Christmas opened in theaters and became a classic. Directed by Henry Selick, the stop-animation film featured Fright Night’s Chris Sarandon as the voice of Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town.

Burger King will be releasing a festive specialty burger on October 22nd appropriately called the “Nightmare King” made with a flame-broiled beef patty, crispy chicken fillet, bacon, mayo, and onions served on green buns. Last time Burger King had a Halloween themed burger it was the “HA1LOWEEN Whopper” where the buns were black because they were supposedly infused with “A1 Steak sauce” and caused people to run to the emergency room worried because, sorry to be blunt, the burgers turned their poop dark green.
