Carl's Jr. has released The Ghost, a spicy hot burger, just in time for Halloween, according to a press release.

"Nothing burns more than getting ignored or left on read, except for the mouth-numbing heat of our new burger, The Ghost," Anthony Nguyen, VP of marketing, said in the press release. "At Carl's Jr., we see you, we hear you, and we want to give you burgers, swag and freebies to take your mind off of the burn from ghosting."

The brand wants to hear guests' ghosting stories on social media, which could win them swag from now through Nov. 6. Fans can follow Carl's Jr. on Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads or Facebook and comment #GhostMode on the giveaway post of one of the platforms and tell your story of being ghosted or ghosting someone.

The Ghost features a third-pound Angus beef burger, ghost pepper cheese, a spicy sauce, bacon, tomato, onion and lettuce on a toasted bun.

Carl's Jr. operates more than 1,000 restaurants across the U.S. and has a presence in 24 countries worldwide. It is owned by CKE Restaurant Holdings Inc.
