Cup Noodles Vampire Noodles have arrived for Halloween 2026 with hot garlic chicken flavor and a broth that turns blood red after adding hot water. The limited-edition ramen costs $1.18 and is sold exclusively through Walmart while supplies last, as reported by customreceipt.com.
Cup Noodles Vampire Noodles use beet coloring for the blood-red effect
The Halloween release comes from Nissin Foods and officially launched on September 24. Its most obvious gimmick appears only after preparation.
Hot water activates the visual transformation. Natural vegetable coloring derived from beets gives the broth and noodles their vivid red appearance.
The flavor combines garlic heat with savory chicken umami. That choice also plays directly into vampire folklore, where garlic traditionally keeps the creatures away.
Nissin describes the product as a limited seasonal release designed for Halloween celebrations. The company says it can be prepared in about 4 minutes.
Key details include:
- Product: Cup Noodles Vampire Noodles
- Flavor: hot garlic chicken
- Color effect: red broth and noodles after hot water
- Coloring: vegetable-based beet coloring
- Price: $1.18
- Retailer: Walmart
- Availability: nationwide while supplies last
The low retail price keeps the noodles accessible despite the elaborate Halloween campaign. The promotional item accompanying them is considerably less conventional.
Why Cup Noodles made a $3,999 Vampire Noodles coffin
Nissin Foods partnered with Titan Casket on a real limited-edition coffin inspired by Vampire Noodles.
The collectible costs $3,999. Titan Casket lists it as a made-to-order steel casket with a deep maroon finish and black crushed-velvet interior.
| Feature | Vampire Noodles release |
|---|---|
| Ramen price | $1.18 |
| Coffin price | $3,999 |
| Coffin material | 20-gauge steel |
| Exterior | Maroon high-gloss finish |
| Interior | Black crushed velvet |
| Availability | Limited edition |
The lid carries Cup Noodles branding with a dripping visual treatment. Inside, the head panel carries the phrase “It’s To Die For.”
The coffin measures 83 inches long externally and weighs about 200 pounds, according to Titan Casket. Buyers can purchase it directly, while Cup Noodles has also promoted a sweepstakes through its social channels.
Where to buy Cup Noodles Vampire Noodles
The Cup Noodles Halloween ramen is available only at Walmart in the United States. Nissin lists Vampire Noodles as a limited-edition product rather than a permanent addition to its range.
That means availability can vary by store as Halloween approaches. The company has explicitly said the product will remain on sale only while supplies last.
For Cup Noodles, the campaign combines a cheap seasonal food release with deliberately extravagant merchandise. A $1.18 cup of ramen and a $3,999 coffin occupy opposite ends of the price spectrum, but both use the same blood-red Halloween concept.
