With talk of Pokémon Go's slow demise as the once insanely popular mobile game's users dwindle, it's easy to cast the return of the animated franchise as a dead fad.

You thought wrong. They've actually returned to life, but this time it's in the form of terrifying zombie burgers which look like Pikachu possessed.

It's the creation of restaurant Down N' Out in Sydney, Australia, who also came up with the original Pokémon burgers that went crazy popular a few months back.

Inside the burgers there's a beef patty, a "Zomburger Sauce" with green mustard, "Frankenstyle" Mac N' Cheese, and you can even add a syringe full of so-called "ghost chili."

You can get them for one week until Nov. 4, that is if you're not completely scared off by these frightening creations.
