Krispy Kreme has “spook-tacular” Halloween celebrations in store.

In honor of Halloween, Krispy Kreme introduced several spooky-themed and Scooby Doo-inspired donut flavors, which are available for a limited time.

“Krispy Kreme has transformed again into ‘Krispy Skreme’ for the Halloween season, celebrating with an all-new Haunted House Collection and spook-tacular deals throughout October,” per a Krispy Kreme press release.

To further celebrations, any customer who shows up to participating Krispy Kreme locations on Halloween in costume will be awarded one free donut, no purchase necessary. Also, beginning Oct. 15, customers who purchase any dozen donuts to “boo” friends or neighbors can buy a dozen original glazed donuts for just $2.

“A Krispy Skreme Halloween is more about sharing than scaring, and with Scary Sharies each Saturday we make it easy to ‘boo’ a neighbor with the best treat going,” said Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Skreme, in a press release.

“And when fans open the door on our haunted house custom box, they’ll ‘skreme’ with delight at all-new doughnuts that are perfect for celebrating everything that’s sweet about Halloween.”

The new Halloween-inspired Krispy Kreme donuts, now available, include:

  • Spooky Spider Donut: Original glazed donut with chocolate icing, cookie bits and sugar spider decoration.

  • Scaredy Cat Donut: Shell donut filled with Kreme, topped with purple icing and decorated with green and black buttercream as well as a chocolate cat decoration.

  • Boo Batter Donut: Shell donut filled with cake batter, decorated with green icing, sugar sprinkles and a sugar ghost decoration.

  • Neon Orange Sprinkle Donut: Original glazed donut topped with neon orange icing and Halloween sprinkles.

Krispy Kreme also partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Product to create the first Scooby doo-inspired donuts.

“We’ve asked Scooby-Doo and his friends to solve ‘The Case of the Disappearing Doughnuts’ because it seems like whenever we put out a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts, they vanish almost immediately,” said Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme, per a press release.

“Scooby‑Doo is the perfect franchise this Halloween season for a fun collection of all-new doughnuts and to solve this spooky mystery.”

The Scooby-Doo donuts include:

  • Scooby Dooby-Doo Donut: Original glazed donut with “Scooby Doo blue” icing, “Scooby Doo green” icing, orange cake batter buttercream and a sugar Scooby decoration.

  • Mystery Machine Donut: Original glazed donut with chocolate icing, chocolate sprinkles, “Scooby Doo green” icing and a chocolate mystery machine decoration.

  • Spooky Monster Cookies N’ Kreme Donut: Donut filled with Oreo Cookies N’ Kreme with purple icing, Oreo cookie pieces and a chocolate monster decoration.

  • Jinkies! Halloween Orange Sprinkle Donut: Original glazed donut with orange icing and Halloween sprinkles.

How much are Krispy Kreme doughnuts?

Krispy Kreme doughnuts typically cost between $8 and $14 per dozen. Prices vary depending on where you live and the doughnuts you purchase. A single original glazed doughnut is 99 cents.

Krispy Kreme offers deals throughout the year. In previous years, it has offered free doughnuts on the Fourth of July and National Doughnut Day.
