[Krispy Kreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haunted-house-collection) pays tribute to the classic film franchise with two limited edition donut designs inspired by the film's beloved characters. Ghostbuster fans can choose between two different donut designs that are inspired by the film. The first donut is decorated to look just like the Stay Puft marshmallow character with a comical smiling visage and a blue sailor hat. The inside of the glazed donut is filled with a deliciously fluffy marshmallow creme. The second donut comes with white icing and a green and red decoration of the Ghostbusters logo. This donut is also filled with the same gooey marshmallow cream. Fans can pick up the spooky confectionaries from Krispy Kreme until October 30th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Limited Edition Celebratory Food:** Creating limited edition food items to celebrate special occasions can offer a unique and exciting customer experience and boost sales. - **Pop Culture-inspired Food:** Drawing inspiration from popular movies or TV shows to create food items can generate buzz on social media and attract new customers. - **Nostalgic Food Design:** Using nostalgic characters or logos from beloved films or TV shows can evoke positive emotions and create a sense of nostalgia for customers, leading to repeat business. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Creating limited edition food items can generate buzz, attract new customers, and boost sales in the food and beverage industry. - **Entertainment:** Collaborating with food companies to create themed food items inspired by popular movies or TV shows can offer an additional revenue stream for the entertainment industry. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Using pop culture references and nostalgia in marketing campaigns can help companies connect with their audience and build brand loyalty. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Horror Movie-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-night-of-the-skremes.md) - [Haunted Halloween Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haunted-house-collection.md) - [Seasonal Halloween-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-6.md) - [Halloween Candy-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-trick-or-treat-collection.md) - [Nostalgic Gamer Donut Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-x-pacman-collection.md) - [Delicious Halloween-Themed Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mister-donut-misdo-halloween.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Donut Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-kreme-and-bandai.md) - [Ghost-Busting Green Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghostbusters-frozen-empire-collection.md) - [Halloween-Focused Menu Additions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krispy-skreme.md)
