Thread: Monster Cereals - Anyone else a fan?

All of these thoughts of Halloween got me thinking. One of the things I still look forward to is seeing the Monster Cereals arrive on the store shelf. Frankenberry, Count Chocula and Boo Berry. I'm in my 40s and still think these are a great part of the season. I was a kid when they came out and back then they were not just out for Halloween. I thought I remember a Werewolf one, but that apparently didn't do well as I never see it. Just one of those simple things that bring back good memories. I hope I am not the only nostalgiac one!

I love these. Strangely enough, I spent a rather large amount of time today reproducing the boxes in miniature for my halloween dollhouse. I went with the boxes from somewhere in the 90's I think. The advertisement on one was for the Munsters. It really took me back.

Not really. I love Cap'n Crunches Halloween Ghost crunch berry cereal though.

I've loved all of those cereals since I was a kid!

Of the characters, yes. The way that the cereals taste, not so much Sugar + me = bad combination

Found something funny: Years ago, there were two other characters, Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy. Check the right side of the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General...akfast_cereals

Not sure where mine is at, but they offered some glowing ghosts as mail-in premiums waaaay back, which I have the green one of. Does anyone else remember those? Unfortunately, I cannot locate anything about them online...

I love Count Chocula! The Mummy one sounds familer.

Garth, thanks those are the 2 I forgot. I looked at your link. Did you notice that the voice of BooBerry was Paul Frees? He does some of the voice work at Disney Haunted Mansion. I agree with you on the absence of nutrition......"part of a good breakfast!"

Not a problem I didn't really pay too much attention to the people who voiced them, since I can't even remember what any of the monsters sound like That is cool,
though
