The iconic meal first came on the scene in 1986, with characters like McBoo, McPunk’n, and McGoblin.

It was last rolled out in 2016. Now, the popular fast-food chain is bringing back the nostalgia to spooky season.

To celebrate its return, McDonald’s is sharing fan-inspired ways to re-vamp your Halloween Pail.

TikTok creator @sidclusive shared his “Music Mashups” revamp on social media.
