Monster Mash: Monster Cereals to Have Ultimate Crossover This Year
✖
Spooky season may be months away, but the groundwork for the most ambitious crossover we ve ever seen has already been put into motion. This fall, General Mills beloved Monster Cereals are being paired together in a catch-all breakfast cereal. The aptly titled Monster Mash has leaked through online retailers, and will feature all five of the cereal maker s Monster Cereal brands including the two that have been retired a few times throughout the years.
Box art shared by Walmart shows all five monsters Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Fruit Brute, and Yummy Mummy rocking out as a band. Six pieces of cereal can then be seen on the box art, signifying the unification of the five monsters. The concoction is meant to celebrate the monster s 50th anniversary on grocery store shelves. The line launched in 1971 with Frankenberry and Count Chocula, before adding Boo Berry in 1973 and Fruit Brute in 1974.
For generations, General Mills has made breakfast a little spookier with its line of Monster Cereals. Count Chocula and Franken Berry first appeared on shelves in 1971, and Boo Berry, Yummy Mummy, and Fruit Brute followed. In celebration of the brand s 50th anniversary, General Mills is getting the whole ghoulish gang back together for a special-edition Monster Mash Cereal, Bloody Disgusting reports.
The new Monster Mash Cereal will include all the Monster Cereals in one box for the first time. Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry are perennial favorites becoming wildly available each year around Halloween but Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute are no longer included in the regular line-up. The werewolf-themed Fruit Brute was introduced in 1974 and discontinued in 1982. Yummy Mummy s original run lasted from 1987 to 1992. General Mills briefly revived both cereals in the 2010s.

The day we all feared has arrived. The monsters of the cereal aisle, who had been content menacing the breakfasts of children for decades, have finally realised they are stronger together. Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Frankenberry, Frute Brute, and Yummy Mummy have formed the Monster Cereal Avengers and
god help us all.
The new General Mills cereal, aptly if unsurprisingly called Monster Mash, has been created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the line of monster-centric cereals, which began with Count Chocula and Frankenberry back in 1971. While the company is being tight-lipped about the product understandable, since it’s the one who put these monsters in touch with each other, and will be responsible for all who die at the monsters’ hands the cereal packaging describes the contents as “Artificially Berry Flavored Frosted Cereal With Mons

Half a century ago, the General Mills company had a genius idea. Create a whole line of breakfast cereals inspired by the horror icons seen in classic Universal Monsters films. (Which luckily were all public domain characters). The first two out of the gate, and most popular, were Count Chocula and Franken Berry. A year later, the ghostly Boo-Berry and the werewolf Fruit Brute join the line. Finally, Yummy Mummy shows up in the ’80s. Now, all the cereal monsters are coming together for a special cereal called (what else?) Monster Mash.
