It’s Still Summer and Everybody’s Already Buying Monster Cereals

It's Still Summer and Everybody's Already Buying Monster Cereals

As a child of the ’80s and ’90s, I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia when I see the return of Monster Cereals each year. The Big Three – Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Frankenberry – were a staple in my household during Halloween, and I fondly remember the excitement of finding these limited-edition cereals on store shelves.


For about a month from now, summer will continue to dominate. But soon enough, you’ll notice leaves transforming into vibrant hues, streaming platforms focusing more on horror movies, and Halloween taking center stage. In fact, some people argue that the spooky season has already begun – after all, General Mills has started distributing this year’s collection of Monster Cereals to supermarkets nationwide.

“@DinosaurDracula recently shared his excitement about discovering the latest Monster Cereals collection. Among them is ‘Monsters Frightful Friends’, a berry-tasting blend featuring the new pets of all mascots, now as marshmallows,” was tweeted earlier this month.

Successfully located them! Discovered the latest line of Monster Cereals, which includes “Monsters’ Pals from Beyond”, a delightful berry-infused blend featuring the adorable marshmallow companions of all the mascots’ new pets. Exciting!

As a long-time fan of these beloved breakfast cereals, I am thrilled to announce that this year, the classic trio – Boo Berry, Count Chocular, and Frankenberry – are back on our shelves! But what has truly piqued my curiosity is the arrival of a new member in their family: Carmella Creeper.

According to a recent announcement, “The terrifying creators of Halloween have returned once again… and this time they’ve brought along their unique scary companions! For the very first time, the iconic Monsters Cereal characters – Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Franken Berry, and Carmella Creeper – will be joined by their special Frightful Friend pets to add even more spooky excitement to the Halloween celebrations.”

Just as you share a deep affection for your pets, so do the Monsters! This year, each box of our classic cereals comes with unique marshmallows modeled after each character’s fearsome companions. For more details about these sidekicks, check out the information provided below!

This year’s lineup of Monster Cereals includes:

  • Frightful Friends: It’s a spooky pet party! The Monsters Cereals you know and love are all joined by their scary sidekicks in this epic mashup of all frightful Monsters flavors, now with new pet-shaped marshmallows! From spiders to snakes, Monsters’ creepy critter friends are here to add even more mischief to Halloween.
  • Count Chocula with Igor the Spider: Chocolatey, classic cereal bits are mixed with spider-shaped marshmallows. Igor is Count Chocula’s loyal guard spider and sidekick.
  • Franken Berry with Bennie the Bat: The berry-delicious cereal is joined by bat-shaped marshmallows in honor of Bennie, Franken Berry’s best bud who has a wicked sense of humor and wonky sonar.
  • Boo Berry with Meow Berry the Cat: The irresistible berry cereal incorporates cat-shaped marshmallows as an ode to Boo Berry’s feline friend. When Meow Berry disappears, there’s not a ghost of a chance at finding her.
