My latest McDonald's collecting trip haul is all MAC TONIGHT themed! I drove up to Toy Lair in Iowa and came back with a giant in-store appearance costume and over 30 more Mac-themed pieces like signs, posters, hats and even an @actordougjones auto that references the collection!

With Halloween Pails back at McDonald's, here's a throwback photo from 1986 with McGoblin Pails everywhere!

In 1998, McDonald’s Brazil released a Halloween McNugget Buddies set. The same character designs were used with glow-in-the-dark bodies in Australia at the same time, but the Brazilian versions are much, much rarer.

Hey everyone! I just got an exciting McDonald's-themed mystery box from @yellowpop. Join me for an unboxing on IG Live TONIGHT at 9PM ET! This is my first live in a very long time, so make sure you pop in. I've got plenty of time for Q&A and show & tell as well, so I hope to see y'all there!

It's officially McDonald's Halloween Pail season! Which of the classic lineups was your favorite: 1985/86/87 (all pumpkins), 1989 (first witch and ghost) or 1990 (glow-in-the-dark ghost, neon witch and pumpkin)? I'm team 89 all the way, but all of these are legendary.

McDonald’s in Germany may have only got five toys when they offered the Halloween Monster McNuggets Happy Meal in 1993 (no pumpkin), but at least they had a translite sign design that put the US version to shame!

In 1992, McDonald’s brought back Halloween Pails after a one-year experiment with "McBoo Bags." This lineup featured lids with detachable cookie cutters. Somehow, I’ve owned these for 34 years and have still never made Halloween Pail cookies.

In 1995, the October Happy Meal theme was "What am I going to be for Halloween." Each week, you had a choice of an audio cassette or a McDonaldland character in a detachable costume.

One of the earliest McDonald's translite signs is this circular, vacuform Jack-o-lantern. Not just a cool vintage Halloween item, but also one of the centerpieces of my whole McDonald's collection. (1967)

Here’s a countertop display from 1993’s NICK OR TREAT Halloween promotion. A lot of McDonald’s contests have come and gone over the years, but a Nickelodeon Haunted House Party sounds like one of the best prizes ever.

While it’s not *technically* a Halloween item - it seems like a good time to share Popsicle’s Fear Factor Pop-Ups. There were two different flavors: sour cherry with gumball eyes and watermelon with sour lemon blood. (2006)

28 years ago: The Ronald and Pals HAUNTED HALLOWEEN Happy Meal, featuring six characters with masks and a free pack of Spooky Nerds! Bonus points for the rare inclusion of "Iam Hungry" as a character in the set. (1998)

Pumpkin leaf bags might still be around in some capacity, but in the early 90s, it seemed like they were EVERYWHERE. An underappreciated part of the Halloween aesthetic. (1991)
