Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 21: Kellogg's The Addams Family 2 Cereals and Snacks

I have yet to find any of the local stores stocking the cereals and snacks that Kellogg's is doing to promote the new The Addams Family 2 animated movie. The cereals include Apple Jacks with Wednesday, Chocolate Frosted Flakes with Lurch and Froot Loops with Cousin Itt while the snacks include Rice Krispie Treats with Wednesday and Pop-Tarts Kooky Chocolatey Fudge Bites with Morticia. Kind of odd since the local theater has been running the movie for the past three weeks.

Goodnight Felix Silla

Sad news for Felix Silla, the actor and stuntman who played Cousin Itt, dies at 84. In addition to his role on The Addams Family tv series, he also played the robot Twiki/Odee-x on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, an Ewok in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi and Dink in Spaceballs.

Countdown to Halloween 2019 Day 26: The Addams Family and Monster Cereals

This year's monster cereals teams up with characters from The Addams Family animated movie that came out on October 5, 2019 (no, I haven't seen it yet since I can't bring my monster cereal boxes into the local theater). I found the family size boxes at the local Walmart Super Center on October 5th. Instead of a free toy included inside, they offer ten free pumpkin carving stencils to download at Monster Carving.

Here's the front of the Boo Berry box:

Here's the front of the Count Chocula's box:

Here's the front of the Franken Berry's box:

The back of each monster cereal box has the same Tricks & Treats puzzle. The text says "How frightfully fun! The Addams Family is trick-or-treating at the Monster's castle. But that's not the only trick you'll find in this scene. Can you find all 8 tricky mistakes? After you find them, look on the side of the box and treat yourself to free downloadable pumpkin carving stencils."

Another year of monster cereals that teases with my childhood memories. This time they offer free pumpkin carving stencils, which I will never use, instead of cheap toys. Glow in the dark figures of Boo Berry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry and the Addams Family would have been so much better and fun.
