McDonald's Halloween Boo Buckets are now out and this year, they feature a Disney Villains theme.

"channeling maleficent in the drive-thru - disney villains happy meal boo buckets out today," McDonald's captioned a Tuesday Instagram post, featuring stop-motion animations of each five of this year's Boo Buckets.

Each of the colorful and collectible Boo Buckets depict a different Disney Villain. There is Jafar from "Aladdin," Ursula from "The Little Mermaid," Scar from "The Lion King," Cruella de Vil from "101 Dalmatians" and Maleficent from both "Sleeping Beauty" and "Maleficent."

Boo Buckets are available in lieu of kids' Happy Meal boxes and will also include a villain-inspired lid and stickers, according to McDonald's.

"This spooky szn, we're entering our villain era," the company said in a previous announcement of the theme, describing this year's Boo Buckets as "inspired by Disney’s most notorious scene-stealers."

The villain-themed Boo Buckets will be available for a limited time at participating McDonald's restaurants.
