Cup Noodles is getting spooky this season with a new Halloween flavor. The Vampire Noodles, out today for $1.18 at Walmart, is a hot garlic chicken ramen where the noodles turn blood red when you add hot water. Cup Noodles also made a real casket to go with it in partnership with Titan Casket.
It’s one of the Halloween grocery picks in my Fall and Halloween Fast Food 2026 guide.
What’s in the Cup
Natural beet coloring turns the noodles red once the hot water goes in, and the flavor pairs hot garlic with savory chicken. The limited-edition cup has a cartoon vampire on the front and is labeled “No artificial colors, made with vegetable color,” with 2.75 ounces of ramen noodles in sauce inside.
“The blood-red transformation and bold hot garlic flavor turn an everyday meal into a memorable Halloween experience,” said Priscila Stanton, senior vice president of marketing at Nissin Foods, which makes Cup Noodles.
The Vampire Noodles Casket
The casket is a real one. Titan Casket, which sells caskets directly to consumers, built the Cup Noodles x Titan Casket Vampire Noodles Casket in 20-gauge steel with a deep maroon high-gloss finish, a blood-drip Cup Noodles emblem on the lid, and a black crushed velvet interior with “It’s To Die For” embroidered on the head panel. It has a split lid and silver swing-bar handles, measures 83 inches long, weighs 200 pounds, fits a standard burial vault, and is made to order.
There are two ways to get one. Titan sells it on its website for $3,999, and Cup Noodles is giving one away in a sweepstakes on its Instagram and TikTok accounts, @originalcupnoodles. Cup Noodles says it is also bringing a vampire influencer to life on those accounts.
Where to Buy Vampire Noodles
Vampire Noodles are $1.18 and sold exclusively at Walmart nationwide, while supplies last.
It’s the latest Walmart-exclusive seasonal cup from Cup Noodles. The limited Pumpkin Spice cup went to Walmart shelves nationwide in late October 2021, the year Cup Noodles marked its 50th anniversary, and the brand has since sold a Pumpkin Pie cup, a Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner flavor, and a breakfast cup with egg and sausage bits. Nissin Foods, which Momofuku Ando founded in 1958 after inventing instant ramen, brought Cup Noodles to the U.S. in 1973 and is based in Gardena, California.
More Halloween Food
Walmart is also carrying SunnyD’s SpookyD, a mystery-flavor Halloween drink, and Hidden Valley’s Spooky Ranch, a black ranch dressing that came out the same day as Vampire Noodles.
