Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 21: Elvira Enjoys Monster Cereals

It's Women Wednesday again and here are three ai images of Elvira enjoying bowls of monster cereals while wearing costumes inspired by them. I can't remember which Facebook group I got them from (I think they were in a couple of the Elvira ones). If you want credit, then make a comment.

First up, the Mistress of the Dark is enjoying Boo Berry while dressing up as the ghost:

Here's Elvira eating Count Chocula cereal while wearing a dress inspired by the chocolate-craving vampire (this one is my favorite):

Finally, here's Elvira enjoying Franken Berry while wearing a dress inspired by the monster:

Countdown to Halloween 2016 Day 19: Wednesday Strawberry Snap Cereal Featuring Thing

The local Walmart's finally stocked the Wedneday cereals from Kellogg's the second week of October. The only one I picked up was the Strawberry Snap cereal featuring Thing (yeah, the hand from Addams Family not Marvel's Ben Grimm from the Fantastic Four). The strawberry flavoring is strong but it's also super sweet.

The back of the box features puzzles including hidden items in Thing's apartment, a match game and a maze. Each of the three cereals in the Wednesday line has different hidden picture puzzles.

The non-nutrition side panel has trivia questions. The other two cereals in the Wednesday cereal line has different trivia questions.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 18: Jim Henson's Franken Berry 2026

Jim Henson's Franken Berry is back this year with him as a Muppet. This was the second monster cereal that I picked up at the local Walmart's last month.

Like the other two monster cereals, the back of the box has a Monster Maker so you can create your own Franken Berry Muppet after you cut out the pieces.

There is no toy prize inside this box either..

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 17: Jim Henson's Count Chocula

Here's this year's Jim Henson's Count Chocula from General Mills (yeah, he's a Muppet again). This was the first one I picked up at the local Walmart's last month.

The back of the box has a Monster Maker where you can create your own Count Chocula Muppet after cutting out the pieces.

Unfortunately, there's no toy prize in this box either.

Countdown to Halloween 2026 Day 16: Jim Henson's Boo Berry 2026

General Mills brought back the collaboration with Jim Henson for this year's monster cereals (yep, they are Muppets again). The Jim Henson's Boo Berry was actually the last one I picked up at the local Walmart's last month.

Sadly, there is still no toy prize inside the box.

Toy Tuesday: Toy Story 5 Cereal

I found all four boxes of the Toy Story 5 cereal at the local Walmart's last Saturday morning. There are four different boxes featuring Buzz Lightyear, Woody, Jessie and Jessie with Smarty Pants. The artwork is cool but I'm a little disappointed that the fronts and back feature the same artwork. I would have liked the backs to have games, trivia or information about the new characters.

Here are the sides of the boxes:

The cereal itself is vanilla flavored loops and is not bad.

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 28: Enid Howlin' Confetti Cake Cereal

Kellogg's added a new cereal based on the Wednesday tv series this year. The Enid Howlin' Confetti Cake cereal is actually pretty good. The front of the box features a great picture of Emma Myers as Enid Sinclair, who is a werewolf. The back of the box has facts and find puzzles. The side of the box has more fun facts.

Countdown to Halloween 2025 Day 27: Monster Cereals 2025

This year's Monster Cereals celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Jim Henson's Company by having the trio looking like Muppets. Our local Walmart's actually had some family size boxes stocked in early September then received a whole pallet of them in early October. I didn't grab any of the early ones because it was just too soon for me. I did grab all three Monster Cereals, but I have only finished Count Chocula and Franken Berry. I'm about halfway through Boo Berry. The back of the boxes features various Muppet monsters and can be connected together to make one large piece.

Science Fiction Saturday: Lucky Charms Featuring Invisible Woman

I picked up a box of Lucky Charms featuring Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman a week ago at the local Walmart's. This is another General Mills cereal promoting the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie. While I like the jumbo rainbows in the cereal, I'm not crazy about the artwork since Sue has no mouth or nose.

Front of Lucky Charms Box Featuring Invisible Woman

The back of the Lucky Charms box has the entire Fantastic Four, which includes Susan Storm aka the Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic and Ben Grimm aka the Thing. Yes, the FantastiCar is also shown. There is also a hidden message and a decorder. It's a different message than the one found on the Honey Nut Cheerios Featuring Human Torch box.

The other two General Mills cereal boxes promoting the Fantastic Four: First Steps movie are Cinnamon Toast Crunch featuring Mister Fantastic and Reese's Puffs featuring the Thing. I won't be getting those boxes because I'm not a fan of those cereals and I don't want to be stuck eating them.

Honey Nut Cheerios Featuring Human Torch

General Mills promoted Fantastic Four: First Steps with several of their cereals. The Honey Nut Cheerios box has Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch. The artwork is a retro design but I would rather have images from the Marvel movie.

Front of Honey Nut Cheerios Box featuring Human Torch

The back features the entire Fantastic Four that includes the Invisible Woman, the Thing, Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic and the Human Torch. The FantastiCar is shown but no sign of H.E.R.B.I.E. the robot. There is also a hidden message with a decoder.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 14: Boo Berry 2024 Box

Meow Berry the ghost cat is the frightful friend of Boo Berry this year and gets a marshmallow too. Her and Carmelia Creeper's pet snake, Scratch, are both females. I should be starting on the family size box this week and probably finish it off by Halloween.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 13: Franken Berry 2024 Box

Franken Berry is joined by his frightful friend, Bennie the bat, this year on his cereal box. Bennie gets a marshmallow too. I still have one bowl left from the family size box. The flavor seems stronger to me this year.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 12: Count Chocula 2024 Box

The local Walmart's actually stocked this year's Monster Cereals back in September. They had a whole pallet of them but I only picked up the main three since I wasn't a big fan of Carmelia Creeper last year. I started with Count Chocula this year and finished the family size box the first week of October. He is joined this year by his frightful friend, Igor the spider. Yeah, he gets a marshmallow too, which looks more like a broken sunburst than a spider.

Front of Count Chocula 2024 Box

The side panel features the marshmallows and Igor:

The backs of all the Monster Cereals are the same this year and is title "Monsters Have Pets, Too!" It shows the monsters and their frightful friends in their castle. There are two "games" with the first being picture not-so-perfect and match the pets to their rightful rooms.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 29: Boo Berry Box

The final Monster Cereal for this year is Boo Berry. Yes, I had to get the family size since that was the only size that the local Walmart's stocked this year. I will be starting in on that after I finish off the Franken Berry cereal, which should be the end of November or the start of December.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 28: Franken Berry Box

I probably won't start on this year's family size Franken Berry box until next month since I still have half a box of Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch to finish first. However, that is not stopping me from posting this for today:

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 26: Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch Box

Cap'n Crunch is back as a vampire on the front of this year's Halloween Crunch. Yes, the ghosts turns the milk a different color but it's more of a brownish green. I picked up a box at the local Walmart's last Saturday since it was finally on the shelf.

Front of Cap'n Crunch's Halloween Crunch Box

The back of the box features Cap'n Crunch and his friends having a Halloween party. There is also a word search puzzle for one to do while they are eating the cereal.

This is the 45th cereal post at Moongem Comics.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 24: Count Chocula Box

The family size box of Count Chocula didn't last long as I predicted. I finished them off on Monday morning. I actually found a family size box of Halloween Crunch this weekend at the local Walmart's. I'll be taking a break from the Monster Cereals and start in on that.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 16: Monster Mash Remix Cereal Box

Carmelia Creeper takes center stage on the box of the Monster Mash Remix cereal. She is joined by her cousin, Franken Berry, along with Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy. I missed out on the Monster Mash cereal that was released in 2021 for their fiftieth anniversary. The berry flavored cereal was a litter better than Carmelia Creeper's caramel apple flavored cereal and disappeared a little faster. This might be another one that I may not pick up again next year. I'm currently in the middle of the Count Chocula box and still have Franken Berry and Boo Berry to go. Yes, it takes me a while to finish off five family size boxes of Monster Cereals.

You can listen to the Monster Mash Remix at official Monster Cereal site.

Countdown to Halloween 2023 Day 15: Carmelia Creeper Monster Cereal Box

I was surprised by the local Walmart's for they actually stocked all five Monster Cereals including the new Carmelia Creeper. However, they only had the family size boxes. Of course, I picked up all five just in case they disappeared fast (they haven't and still have plenty). I chose to start off the Halloween season early this year with Carmelia Creeper. I'm glad that I did because I wasn't a big fan of this caramel apple cereal. It was okay but it just tasted off (maybe I'm just getting old). I was glad when I finally finished the box and I doubt that I get any next year if it comes back.

Carmelia Creeper is a zombie and a cousin of Franken Berry. You can find her doing a remix of Monster Mash at the official Monsters Cereal site.

Women Wednesday: Mantis on Honey Nut Cheerios Mega Box

The new General Mills cereals promoting Marvel's The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie is starting to trickle into the local stores. I picked up the Honey Nut Cheerios Mega box with Mantis on it at the local Walmart's about a week ago. This is a pretty big box and pretty expensive too but they didn't have any of the smaller boxes with her on it. The picture below is swiped from online since I couldn't get a good picture of the box yet. The back of the box has a group shot. I don't plan on collecting the entire set since there are way too many boxes and I don't eat as much cereal as I did when I was a kid.
