IHOP announced today that participating restaurants nationwide will serve up ‘no tricks – just treats’ this October, featuring a month-long celebration with pumpkin pancakes as well as All-You-Can-Eat Buttermilk pancakes, culminating in a free Scary Face Pancake giveaway for kids 12 and under on Friday, October 28 from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. (one per child).

Additionally, parents can sign up all month-long on ihop.com for a wake-up call on October 28 from Count Spatula with a friendly and fun reminder about the free Scary Face Pancake giveaway.

“We are celebrating fall traditions in a tasty and playful way,” said Natalia Franco, IHOP’s senior vice president, marketing.  “Our ‘no tricks – just treats’ October is a seasonal celebration designed to excite the senses with unique additions to our regular menu and thank our guests for their loyal patronage with our free Scary Face Pancake giveaway.”

Count Spatula was the winning name chosen from more than 1,000 entries to the “name-the-Scary-Face-Pancake” contest last October.  The Count Spatula Scary Face Pancake is an oversized signature buttermilk pancake with a whipped topping mouth and strawberry nose, served with two mini OREO® cookies and candy corn on the side to allow kids to create their own Halloween hotcake.  It will be offered throughout October and, like all IHOP Kids menu items, is less than 600 calories.  On October 28, kids will be treated to a free Count Spatula Scary Face Pancake as an early Halloween treat.
