LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This Halloween Kentucky Fried Chicken® has cooked up
vintage-inspired Colonel Sanders Halloween costumes and limited-edition
trick-or-treat buckets, so KFC fans can spend October 31 indulging in the spirited tradition of
trick-or-treating, dressed as the world's greatest chicken
salesman.
"Whether you're a perennial procrastinator or that person who
plans next year's Halloween costume
on November 1, anyone can appreciate
these affordable, vintage-inspired Colonel Sanders costumes and
trick-or-treat buckets," said George
Felix, KFC U.S. director of advertising. "Much like the
complete meal found in our $5 Fill
Ups, these Colonel Sanders costume kits offer a complete costume
for five dollars."
The limited-edition KFC buckets are made of durable plastic and
come with a sturdy handle, making them the perfect vessel for your
trick-or-treating spoils. Designed to hold your favorite candy
while displaying your love for your favorite fried chicken, the
custom Halloween buckets come in five
different designs, featuring the Colonel dressed in Halloween costumes, including: mummy, astronaut,
cat, firefighter, pirate, cowboy, werewolf, robot and vampire.
While the Colonel is having a finger lickin' good time this
Halloween as his favorite characters
and mythical creatures, you can dress like the over-the-top chicken
salesman for the holiday.
In a nod to the brand's heritage and its iconic founder, the
Colonel Sanders costumes are designed to mimic the dime-store
costumes kids wore in the '70s and '80s. Each costume kit features
a vacuum-molded plastic mask resembling Colonel Sanders and a vinyl
bib designed to look like the Colonel's trademark suit, making it
easy and affordable for anyone to dress up as the Colonel for
Halloween.
Starting today, KFC fans can purchase the Colonel Sanders
costume kits on the brand's recently launched online merchandise
shop, KFCLimited.com. Beware: the last day to order and receive in
time for Halloween is October 23. The costumes mark the beginning of a
larger fall/winter product refresh for KFC Limited, which will be
unveiled in the coming months.
Starting Friday, October 27 and
while supplies last (limited quantities available), the custom
Halloween buckets will be available
exclusively at KFC U.S. restaurants and given out to customers who
show some Halloween spirit –
Halloween costumes are
encouraged!
