For coffee lovers, when October rolls around, it can only mean one thing — the return of Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, the beverage giant is introducing another festive drink to give coffee connoisseurs something to sink their teeth into — the "Frappula Frappuccino".

According to Starbucks, the vampire-themed beverage is comprised of white chocolate sauce, milk and ice blended together then layered between mocha sauce and a touch of whipped cream. To give the drink it's gory appeal, raspberry syrup oozes from the rim.

This is the second year Starbucks is offering Halloween-inspired Frappuccinos. Last year, they introduced the frightfully delicious idea by creating a green tea "Franken Frappuccino".

To celebrate Halloween, the "fang-tastic" beverage will be available to order between October 28-31.
