Halloween allows restaurants to play dress-up with the menus, offering people a chance to fortify themselves before trick or treating and partying.
Here are some of the deals and unusual treats fast food chains and casual restaurants have announced on their websites, social media or in news releases.
This year, the holiday falls on Friday, Oct. 31. Many deals are for that day only, but some run through the weekend or start earlier.
