Jack in the Box Simpsons Munchie Meal of Horror (2026): Complete Guide

Quick answer: Jack in the Box officially launched The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Munchie Meal of Horror on September 10, 2026. You get a choice of Double Krusty Burger of Terror or Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror, both topped with the all-new Spooky Simpsons Sauce (a smoky BBQ ketchup), plus 2 tacos, curly fries, a drink, and one of six glow-in-the-dark collectible cups. Forbidden D’oh!nut Holes are available as an add-on. It’s a limited-time item running through October 31, 2026, or while supplies last, pricing and cup availability vary by location.

What Is the Munchie Meal of Horror?

As part of the first-ever Jack in the Box x The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror collaboration, the Munchie Meal of Horror dresses up Jack’s long-running late-night Munchie Meal platform in Treehouse of Horror branding — complete with a themed collector’s box and a set of six glow-in-the-dark cups.

Jack in the Box’s own press release confirms the meal arrived nationwide on September 10, alongside Krusty-inspired burgers, the Forbidden D’oh!nut Holes dessert, and the new Spooky Simpsons Sauce.

Unlike some limited-time items, this one isn’t restricted to late-night hours, it’s available any time Jack in the Box is serving its full menu. For hours by location, see our breakfast-all-day guide.

Spooky Simpsons Sauce, Explained

Created exclusively for this collaboration, Spooky Simpsons Sauce comes standard on both sandwich options — you don’t need to request it. Jack in the Box describes it as a smoky BBQ ketchup rather than a traditional condiment.

For the full rundown of the sauce and where else it appears on the menu, see our Spooky Simpsons Sauce guide. You can also see how it compares to the rest of the lineup in our complete Jack in the Box sauces list.

Glow-in-the-Dark Collectible Cups

Each Munchie Meal comes with one random glow-in-the-dark cup, with designs reportedly drawn from Treehouse of Horror episodes across the show’s run, outlets covering the launch have mentioned characters like Bart’s evil twin Hugo, Kang and Kodos, and Krusty the Clown among the six. Some designs have reportedly sold out faster than others at individual locations due to collector demand, though availability varies by restaurant and isn’t tracked nationally.

Price & Value

Pricing has been reported in the $13.99–$15.99 range for the Munchie Meal of Horror depending on entrée and ordering channel (in-store vs. app/delivery), which runs a few dollars above Jack’s standard Munchie Meal pricing, that premium appears to cover the collector’s box, cup, and new sauce. Treat this as a starting estimate rather than a fixed nationwide price, and confirm the total in the app before ordering. For a lower-cost option, see the $5 Big Deal Meal.
