The restaurant — which is covered in giant white tarps with eye holes cut to resemble Mickey D’s famous golden arches — features a sign that reads, “BOOOOO! Just kidding. We still flame grill our burgers. Happy Halloween.” It’s a move that several people on Twitter have taken note of, expressing their appreciation for the fast food giant’s creative trolling with tweets such as, “This Burger King dressing up as a McDonald’s ghost is a a level of pettiness once unheard of.” > [](https://twitter.com/Efawcett7/status/790971504263651328) See several of the best reactions to this epic prank below. > [](https://twitter.com/CommonWhiteGrls/status/791637329077276678) > [](https://twitter.com/FuckJerry/status/790955205101776897) > [](https://twitter.com/ayyabizzle/status/790252663233515521) > [](https://twitter.com/CutPics/status/790918245159055361) \[h/t [Uproxx](http://uproxx.com/webculture/burger-king-trolls-mcdonalds-halloween-costume/2/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4547759/burger-king-mcdonalds-ghost-costume/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4547759/burger-king-mcdonalds-ghost-costume/"},"headline":"The Internet Lost It Over Burger King’s Spooky McDonald’s Disguise","datePublished":"2016-10-27T17:30:48.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:05.844Z","description":"\"Savage level 10/10\"","url":"https://time.com/4547759/burger-king-mcdonalds-ghost-costume/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","restaurants","Mcdonald's","Burger King","halloween"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4547759/burger-king-mcdonalds-ghost-costume/","name":"The Internet Lost It Over Burger King’s Spooky McDonald’s Disguise"}}]}] ```
