Who Are The Monsters?

For more than 40 years, the Monster Cereals have served nutritious tricks and treats at the breakfast table. The original trio — Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry — all debuted within a few years of each other. To this day, they all still live together at the Count’s castle.

Siri, locate Count Chocula’s castle. Monster lore has it that the castle is high up on a mountaintop near the edge of the clouds…

Count Chocula

You can’t help but sink your teeth into Count Chocula. Upon its 1971 debut, Count Chocula was the first chocolate-flavored cereal on the market. Loaded with chocolate marshmallow-shaped bats, this cereal and its iconic vampire mascot is still a scream with fans. Count Chocula’s pastimes include having friendly arguments with Franken Berry about who has the best cereal and only drinking… milk.

Franken Berry

Franken Berry also debuted in 1971 with a cereal the polar opposite of Count Chocula. This cereal is brightly colored and berry-flavored. It matches the electric pink Franken Berry perfectly, inspired by Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein.

Franken Berry may be giant, but he’s completely harmless. In fact, he was actually very spooked by Boo Berry when they first met!

Boo Berry

What’s a trio of monsters without a ghoulish pal? Boo Berry is the resident ghost of the group. He, and his blueberry-flavored cereal, moved into the Count’s castle in 1973. Boo Berry was initially kicked out by Count Chocula and Franken Berry, dismayed at the prospect of competing with another cereal, but he always found a way to float back to the gang.

The Seasonal Sensation of Monster Cereals

Believe it or not, there was a time when one could buy a box of their favorite Monster Cereals year-round. Since 2010, the Monster Cereals have moved to become a seasonal cereal sold only during October for Halloween. Our Monsters find a way every year to chill and thrill fans, which makes them all the more beloved as the decades pass. Cheers to all the gourd times ahead!

  1. Brings back some great memories! LOVE that they keep these 3 alive but sad that GMills ruined the actual cereal by switching from the original Oat pieces over to the cheaper Corn variety. An obvious cost cutting measure that has changed the entire flavor of the cereal.

    I think the designs are good (with Frankenberry being fantastic) and it’s just fun to see them in the cereal aisle albeit just for the season. They need to bring back the Werewolf and Mummy again too!
