McDonald’s may never dip their toes into more adult fare like a rated “R” slasher movie, but that’s where companies like Chain come into play. Thrillist has announced this afternoon that Chain, a pop-up dinner series, is getting set to launch the Stabby Meal while we all wait for Scream VI to arrive in theaters next month, a Scream-themed twist on a McDonald’s classic!

Thrillist explains, “For every pop-up, the Chain gang picks an iconic dish from a chain restaurant then chops and screws it into something new, elevating hits like Taco Bell’s Crunchwrap, BJ’s Pizookie, Chili’s Southwestern Egg Rolls, and Outback Steakhouse’s Bloomin’ Onion. They recreate them with high-quality ingredients, precise technique, and a chef’s touch, bringing your childhood favorites back to life in exciting, modern ways.”

An official partnership with Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group, the team behind the Scream franchise’s return, the Stabby Meal is of course a slasher twist on the McDonald’s Happy Meal, and it goes up for grabs in West Hollywood on February 24.

What are you getting, you ask? Thrillist details, “The Extremely Medium Sized Bone Marrow ChainBurger comes as a half-pound bone marrow beef patty topped with American cheese, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, and Chain’s umami seasoning blend all on a poppy seed bun. The Throwback Fries are simple, classic fries done right. And then Woodsboro Orchards Warm Apple Pie is, of course, a take on McDonald’s Baked Apple Pie, a hand-held cylinder of hot apples and cinnamon.”

And yes, Stabby Meal toys are even included in the mix. Several Scream VI pins are available inside the Stabby Meal boxes, which are sure to become hot collector’s items among fans.

Head over to Thrillist to learn how you can secure a Stabby Meal later this month.

But just as the celebrations begin, there is a ring at the door. As Steve goes to open it, he has no idea the nightmare that is about to walk in.

“Protect your friends and family as Jeffrey Tombs comes home for the holidays. Uncover the secrets of the Tombs’ estate as you fight back, rescue your loved ones, and most importantly…

“GET THE HELL OUT OF THE HOUSE.”
