Monsters Cereal Becomes Puppets For Its 55th

Over the years, the Monsters have become a beloved tradition — from larger-than-life mascots to sought after collectibles — always signaling the start of the haunting Halloween season. This year, super fans can score a limited-edition fuzzy Count Chocula cereal box, designed to replicate the fleece-like texture of the puppets, available exclusively on Walmart.com for $7.76 starting October 1st.

"For 55 years, the Monsters have brought a smile, and a little thrill, to cereal bowls," said Megan Brooks, Business Unit Director for Family Favorites Cereal at General Mills. "Fans loved Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Franken Berry reimagined through The Jim Henson Company's creativity last year, so we were excited to team up again to create fresh new packaging designs that celebrate the characters and bring even more Halloween fun to store shelves."

"Last year, our team from Jim Henson's Creature Shop had so much fun bringing these beloved Monsters to life as puppets, and we know our fans will enjoy seeing them again this season for more memorable magic," said Nicole Goldman, Executive Vice President of Branding for The Jim Henson Company. "And new this Halloween, we're giving cereal and Jim Henson Company fans alike the chance to put their creativity to the test by transforming each cereal box into its own Monster puppet."
