Krispy Kreme Unveils Ghostbusters-Themed Doughnuts

Krispy Kreme is celebrating Halloween and the 40th anniversary of "Ghostbusters" with a new collection of themed doughnuts. Starting Monday, four Ghostbusters-inspired treats will be available for a limited time at participating locations.

The collection pays homage to the original film starring Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray, which debuted in June 1984.

“Yes it’s true, these treats are no trick. When it comes to Halloween this year, you know who to call,” said Dave Skena, global chief brand officer for Krispy Kreme. “Krispy Kreme is the gatekeeper to Halloween sweetness and Sony Pictures Consumer Products is the key master to bring spooky-sweet Ghostbusters doughnuts to our fans this year. You’re welcome, Gozer (the movie's ancient villainous diety).”

Krispy Kreme's Ghostbuster Doughnuts

The Ghostbusters doughnuts come individually or in a limited-edition custom specialty box resembling the ghost traps from the film (prices vary by location):

• Ghostbusters Cookies N’ Creme Doughnut made with Oreo: A chocolate iced Original Glazed doughnut, topped with Oreo pieces, Oreo buttercreme, and a No Ghost logo candy.
• Slimer Doughnut: An unglazed doughnut with lemon flavored green filling, dipped in purple and green icing with a Slimer candy.
• Ecto-Sprinkled Doughnut: An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in orange colored icing, topped with neon sprinkles.
• Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Doughnut Pull-Apart: Powdered Original Glazed Doughnut Dots topped with marshmallow flavored buttercreme and a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man candy.

Three of the Ghostbusters doughnuts (excluding the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man) will also be available in a special box of six assorted doughnuts delivered fresh daily to select retailers. To find a location, visit the Krispy Kreme website.
