Tim "Gravy" Brown's Hannibal Lecter costume for Krystal Square Off IV was more suitable for Halloween than a competitive eating event.

We’re in more of a “treat” than “trick” mood today so to celebrate Halloween we’re going to give away a $50 Krystal Gift Card to the person with the best Halloween costume. The only requirement is that you snap the photo while in costume at a Krystal restaurant tonight and email the photo to us by Sunday to info@krystalist.com.

You can also upload the photo to your Flickr, Facebook or MySpace page and send us a link to it.

The more original the better which means dressing up as The Joker or Sarah Palin like everyone else is this Halloween may not cut it unless it’s really, really good. Like Tina Fey good. Bonus if you dress up in something Krystal-related like, say, a Krystal Chik.

Happy trick or treating tonight. Be sure to be safe, and most of all, have fun!

Krystalist Twitter followers heard about the new Spicy Southern Chik first.

We’ve been Twittering here at Krystalist.com ever since we launched this blog, but we’re about to turn up the Tweet-notch a tad so you can keep up with the absolute latest Krystal news, even before it shows up here.

Yep, sign-up to follow our Twitter feed at twitter.com/krystalist, and you’ll be the first to know about new menu items, like seasonal MilkQuake flavors or new Krystal Chik offerings, weeks before they make it to the menuboard at your local Krystal restaurant. You’ll also be the first to hear about special promotions and the latest from the Krystal test kitchen.  We’ll also ask trivia questions via the feed, and if you’re the first one to answer, we’ll send you Krystal merchandise or Krystal Gift Cards.

Finally, you can use Twitter to share with us a Krystal story, send us suggestions or tell us how you just spilled your Krystal Freeze on your laptop while using the free Wi-Fi in our restaurants. Just don’t blame it on us.

In case you haven’t heard, Krystal is introducing its first ever Krystal Chik Calendar, showcasing 14 beautiful, Krystal lovin’ girls from across the South.

The featured gals, all of which have starred in Krystal’s popular reality-based television commercials, are depicted in classic pin-up looks that span the decades. The calendar’s theme is in honor of Krystal’s 75th anniversary this year. In addition, the Chik Calendar includes important dates such as college football match-ups and bowl games, spring break, music festivals and important moments in Krystal history. The calendar can be purchased for $5.00 at all Krystal restaurant locations.
