I think so! They brought back Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy for a few years, but this is the first new character in ages. If you want some lore, the cartoon on the back of the box introduces her as Frankenberry’s long lost cousin. I’m a Halloween freak, and this is the only time of year I eat cereal! I bought a box of each monster as well as Halloween Crunch and some spooky Lucky Charms and Froot Loops. I’ll be set until May.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 11:14 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) On my next visit I'll have to pick up this new flavor and Boo Berry too!    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 11:16 AM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Lame new character that has a modern design that doesn't fit into the previous character designs, and to be hip is wearing ginormous headphones for some reason.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 11:56 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Lame new character that has a modern design that doesn't fit into the previous character designs, and to be hip is wearing ginormous headphones for some reason. Funny, I thought the same thing. The original characters are timeless. I'm not a fan of the redesigns of the classic characters over the years either. Especially today's cartoon designs. I would like to see someone redesign her with a more classic look.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 12:29 PM     By:   mstrox   (Member) She’s a DJ, gang!    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 1:09 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Yeah, figured that out when I saw the cereal box about three weeks ago in Wal-Mart. She's playing music by herself, why is she wearing ginormous headphones (she's not at a club of concert)? It's apparently still loud like she was playing it from a speaker, 'casue everyone else still heard it. Dracula. Casper wannabe. Frankenstein's monster. Human girl with headphones. Sing along: One of these things just doesn't belong...    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 1:10 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) Shes supposed to be a zombie too. Though she doesn't look like a Zombie. I don't care all that much if she has headphones on or not but they're definitely developed her based on fads instead of being timeless. Maybe the product will sell better if they go with the fads. They could've gone with a witch or something more in line with the other characters though.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 1:26 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) Oh, she's a zombie? That part I missed. Well, still not a classic monster like the other three characters, still looks completely out-of-place, and it's even more frustrating considering there are classic female monster characters they could have used and kept in design style with the existing three. Banshee, Succubus, she-wolf, Medusa. Then, of course, Frankenstein was going to make a bridge for his monster, so altering what really happens, a female monster could be used -- a companion cereal that offers a different take on the regular monster cereal. And even more ridiculous, looking it up, Carmilla was a female vampire of old literature, so there was no need to make it a young teenage DJ zombie. Sad.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 1:48 PM     By:   mstrox   (Member) A second vampire would work fine, sure, but I think it’s fair to say that the impetus for what type of creature she was is based on “well we have a vampire and a frankenstein and a ghost and a werewolf and a mummy, so what other monster is there?” Maybe a gill man cereal is next. I’m not too concerned about it because I’m like 40 years old, not near the target demographic for the cartoon advertising on cereal boxes. When I was a kid, Ronald McDonald and the Trix rabbit and whatever took on all sorts of trends.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 2:19 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) It's been decades since I even thought about the Monster Cereals until last year. I had no idea there were so many hideous redesigns of the classic characters over the years. It's not like I was asking for a new character and I knew if they did, it wouldn't jive with the OG characters. Oh well!    Posted:   Aug 31, 2023 - 6:34 PM     By:   Sir David of Garland   (Member) Well, I finally remembered to check out the cereal aisle this year. Nabbed a box of my two favorites. Its been decades since Ive had these! Both of these guys have had plastic surgery.    Posted:   Sep 1, 2023 - 3:41 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) Well, I finally remembered to check out the cereal aisle this year.

Count Chocula will be my dinner tonight.    Posted:   Sep 2, 2023 - 10:20 AM     By:   mstrox   (Member) My kid and I each had a bowl of Carmella Creeper last night and it’s fine. TBH, it’ll probably fall with Booberry and Frankenberry as a one-box tradition (assuming it comes back), instead of Count Chocula which is legitimately good.    Posted:   Sep 2, 2023 - 12:09 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) My kid and I each had a bowl of Carmella Creeper last night and it’s fine.

From the reviews I saw, and how pathetic is that, I’m watching cereal reviews??? That the cereal has a caramel taste rather than an apple taste. I would’ve preferred it have an apple taste. Frakenberry reminds me of Captain Crunch with Crunch Berries, not as good but I like the flavor.    Posted:   Sep 3, 2023 - 11:56 AM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) ...the cereal has a caramel taste rather than an apple taste.
