    Halloween is so hot, that even fast food chains are getting in on all the spooky marketing action.

    Take Burger King’s latest promotion, for example. They’re now offering a “Nightmare King” burger that is “guaranteed to give you nightmares.” Excuse me?

    For starters, it’s green. Yep. The burger buns are totally unapologetically green.

    It’s made up of a quarter-pound beef, thick-cut bacon, mayo, onions, and a fried chicken fillet on the green “Frankenstein-monster-esque” buns. We see what they did there.

    People are a little wary about this newest addition to the Burger King menu.

    Here’s the kicker: Burger King actually worked with Florida Sleep & Neuro Diagnostic Services, Inc. to study sleep patterns that are common after someone ingests a burger.

    They determined that those who ate the "Nightmare King" burger experienced a nightmare rate that was 3.5 higher than normal, which was reportedly caused by the overload of beef, chicken, and cheese.

    You should know, a vegetarian option is also in the works.
