Starting Tuesday, October 24, the Scary Face Pancakes will be free for kids 12 and under with the purchase of an adult entrée.

These pancakes feature a frightful spin on IHOP's classic Happy Face pancakes, as they're adorned with a whipped cream face, Oreo cookie eyes, a large glazed strawberry nose, and candy corn teeth.

"IHOP has scary face pancakes and I want them. No...NEED them," one fan wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, when the pancakes launched last year.

This will be the 15th year in a row that the Scary Face pancake returns to menus.

Customers can order a Scooby Dooby-Doo doughnut, Spooky Monster Cookies N' Kreme doughnut, Jinkies! doughnut, and Mystery Machine doughnut.

They all start with a classic Original Glazed doughnut, except for the Spooky Monster one, which is a filled doughnut.

The Mystery Machine doughnut has chocolate icing with chocolate sprinkles, a Mystery Machine decoration, and lime green icing.

The Jinkies! doughnut is topped with orange icing and festive sprinkles.
