What the Scariest Movie Icons Would Secretly Snack On
Halloween belongs to the brave, the whimsical, and the hungry! While we unwrap our Halloween candy by candlelight, imagine the world’s most terrifying legends taking a quiet break from their evil chaos to indulge in something sweet. Turns out, even the most evil souls have a soft spot for chocolate. Who knew?
Below are some of horror’s best-known icons, their completely imagined favorite Halloween chocolate candies, and how they’d savor every bite (or devour it in total darkness).

Michael Myers – Hershey’s Miniatures (The Silent Classic)
Silent, emotionless, and oddly polite about his chocolate. Michael doesn’t need fancy flavors at all. Just pure milk chocolate, neat and tidy in its silver wrapper. Between slow suburban strolls, he unwraps a single Hershey’s Miniature, breaks it into perfect halves, and eats them in total silence.
Where he eats it: Alone in the shadows of Haddonfield, where the only sound is the soft crinkle of foil.
Freddy Krueger – Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (Dream Fuel)
A sinister man who literally lives for nightmares would naturally crave something smooth and chaotic. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the ultimate mix of comfort and danger (ok that may be a bit of a stretch). He lines them up like poker chips, smirking at the perfect swirl of chocolate and peanut butter.
Where he eats it: Between dream haunts, under hazy red light, where the smell of melted chocolate lingers longer than the sounds of screams.
Jason Voorhees – Snickers (Fuel for the Fearless)
Long nights by Camp Crystal Lake call for energy. Jason doesn’t nibble, he refuels. Snickers satisfies his endless cardio needs, the crunch of peanuts and caramel echoing across the misty water.
Where he eats it: Sitting at the end of a rickety dock, mask reflecting the moon, watching ripples shimmer through the fog.
Ghostface – Twix (Crisp Comeback)
A killer with a sense of humor deserves a special candy. Ghostface is quick with a joke and loves a good setup, so Twix suits his personality perfectly. The mix of caramel, cookie, and chocolate gives him that ideal bite – a little crisp, a little smooth, always satisfying, a little diabolical.
Where he eats it: In a quiet kitchen, phone cord tangled around his wrist, smirking through the mask.
Pennywise – Peanut M&M’s (Colorful Chaos)
He feeds on fear, but he also adores color that’s bright, shiny, and childlike. Peanut M&M’s are his weakness. Each handful rattles like carnival prizes, rolling across storm drains like little candy bait.
Where he eats it: In the glow of a streetlamp, giggling softly as the candies clatter across the curb.
Hannibal Lecter – Lindt 90% Dark (Refined Darkness)
He doesn’t do fun-sized. Hannibal prefers his pleasures sophisticated. A perfectly tempered Lindt dark chocolate bar, bitter, elegant, and complex is more his cup of tea. He breaks off one precise square at a time, savoring the flavor like a fine wine.
Where he eats it: Alone at a candlelit table, glass of Chianti in hand, no company needed (but dreaming about Clarice).
Norman Bates – Hershey’s Kisses (Nervous Comfort)
Shy, polite, and heartbreakingly awkward. Norman’s favorite? Hershey’s Kisses. They’re small, comforting, and wrapped, just like tiny secrets. He unwraps them one at a time behind the motel desk, always listening for footsteps upstairs.
Where he eats it: Under the warm flicker of the Bates Motel neon sign, telling himself “Mother would approve.”
Dracula – Dove Promises Dark (Timeless Indulgence)
Elegant and ancient, the Count would appreciate smooth, dark sophistication. Dove Promises Dark, with each piece silky, bittersweet, and wrapped in gold, is what he really craves. He enjoys the irony of their name and the whisper of their messages.
Where he eats it: Reclining in candlelight, reading each wrapper aloud with a smirk: “Shine your light.”
Frankenstein’s Monster – M&M’s Variety Mix (Pieces That Belong)
The monster is gentle, misunderstood, and stitched together, just like his favorite candy. M&M’s Variety Mix reminds him that many different pieces can make one perfect whole. He loves the crunch, the color, and the simple joy of chocolatey sweetness.
Where he eats it: Sitting on a hillside during a thunderstorm, palm full of candies that glow like sparks.
Jack Torrance (The Shining) – Kit Kat (The Sanity Break)
All work and no play makes Jack…hungry. And grumpy. And we don’t want Jack grumpy. Kit Kat gives him that “break” he’s been craving. The snap echoes like typewriter keys, and the chocolate melts just enough to calm the storm behind his unhinged grin.
Where he eats it: In the Overlook Hotel lobby, next to a half-finished manuscript.
Chucky – Butterfinger (Chaos in a Wrapper)
He’s loud, unpredictable, and full of crunch. Butterfinger is the perfect match. It’s messy, delicious, and impossible to eat quietly. Chucky crumbles it everywhere and laughs about it.
Where he eats it: On the kitchen counter, swinging his legs and making a total mess.
The Xenomorph – Milky Way Midnight (Outer Sweetness)
Ok, technically it doesn’t eat, but just imagine if it did. The sleek, dark Milky Way Midnight would be its perfect chocolate match. The glossy, mysterious, soft caramel center hides under pitch-black chocolate.
Where it eats it: Deep space, zero gravity, wrapper floating like a ghost.
It doesn’t matter how dark or evil the legend is – everyone has a soft, sweet side. Even evil monsters. So this Halloween, treat yourself like a movie villain off duty. Light the candles, unwrap the chocolate, and let the night melt a little softer; without the startle.
