Halloween is already, at least in part, about free food. You get dressed up and walk door to door in your neighborhood demanding free candy because your parents bought you a Hulk mask. It's a good deal. 

As you get older, everyone knows you can keep dressing up, but some people forget that the treats don't have to end either. Restaurants all across the United States -- Chipotle, 7-Eleven, Krispy Kreme, and more -- are offering free, cheap, and weird food in honor of the year's best holiday. For most of them, you don't even have to dress up (though, you can and you totally should).

Here are all the places where you can dig up free and cheap food in honor of this fine holiday. Oh, and we promise you won't find anything about bobbing for apples in here.
