Fun note- I redrew those retro cereal boxes for General Mills years back. They needed them all full body and digital. Had the pleasure of working on the Monster Cereal boxes three times. Love the video, Sean.
I'm old school, I'll be 58 next month, and grew up with Boo, Franken, and Count Chocula. Franken and Boo were always my 2 favorites, and I buy like 10 boxes of each every Halloween season, to get me through the year. I wish they sold it year round, like they use to. Thank God it has a long shelf life. 😂😂😂
Totally agree with your assessments at the beginning. Also, someone needs to make a Scooby Doo Mystery cereal with all the 'monsters' as marshmallows and the gang as the crunchy bits. Anyway, on my way to get some Frankenberry and Booberry...
After a night of over indulgence one time I had to crash at my buddy's place,I wake up and he's sitting there eating a bowl of cereal and watching cartoons. I'm like dude you're 54 years old!!It was awesome 🤘
Growing up Frute Brute, Yummy Mummy, and Boo Berry were my main go to Cereals, but nowadays I've really been enjoying Frankenberry. I would definitely say Brute and Frank are my Two Favs hands down
Was hoping you would do a review on the new monster cereal 🥣 My kids enjoyed it! FrankenBerry is definitely the best and yes I agree bring back the retro boxes.
I've already bought my boxes this year too! Can't say I really like the flavors anymore, I swear they tasted better back in the day, BooBerry and FrankenBerry were sooooo Good. Love those MonsterCereal collectible figures Sean!!!
I thought the Carmella Creeper was decent, but as you said, none of these cereals are that great. We don't buy them for the taste, it's all about the nostalgia. You were also right about them turning your innards green. I bought one box of each variey and ate one bowl from each box (I still have to consume the Boo Berry) as I've decided that this is the last year I'm eating them. I'm retiring from Monster Cereals as they all mess my guts up. I'll just look at the pretty boxes on the store next year and reminisce.
HEY,.. SEAN What's up Ya ! I Remember all the Old cereals like Frankenberry which is my favoriteby the Way but don't really Eat them Anymore just Because of all the Sugar but I also miss the old days Sitting down on Saturday morning Watching TV cartoons and eating my favorite cereal Take care stay safe and will see you on the next video
I agree, Carmella Creeper is not a Universal Monster, not even close! A Bride of Frankenstein cereal would be awesome! I just confused, because here in Iowa last year, they had Frute Brute, and I am wondering why this year they don't. I made the horrible mistake of taking a few pieces of Carmella Creeper cereal and eating them dry. It was not pleasant🤣 I was able to kind of taste the caramel apple flavor with almond milk. The remix I have not tasted yet. Capt'n Halloween Crunch is really good, and even with almond milk, the milk turns a lime to an aqua green!
I really liked Carmella Creeper cereal. Had a waffle taste to it. At least that’s what I thought. I have never seen the monster mash one in any store where I live. Count Chocula is my favorite then Franken Berry. Thanks for the video Sean.
Loved that you did this review. I saw these in my local Walmart a few weeks ago and was considering buying them. Count Chocula is my favorite. Have you seen the new look of Halloween Crunch this year?
Great video! 100% with you on the monster cereals; classic style is the way to go! I bought the board/card game, "Monster Crunch! The Breakfast Battle Game -- which"uses the monster cereal license -- for that reason alone (luckily, it is actually a fun game, though the monster cereal theme is not super deep).
Love the Old Cereal Boxes from back in day too... Now, did I just see 'Johnny Sokos Robot' on your Shelf...I remember that Ultraman, Gameron, etc...Good Ole Days for sure.
Haha this is awesome. Reminds me of the Danzig Lucifuge Home Video when Chuck was trying out the cereals and tossed the Wheaties box at the camera man 😂😂😂 Nice review though Mr. Clark. Unfortunately I’m not much of a cereal guy anymore but I do enjoy a bowl every now and then when I’am offered or come across it. Love your videos bud, keep’em comin’ keep’em comin’ 😍🙌
These cereals actually tasted pretty good at one point. Probably 30 years ago or more. They actually changed the original formulas, and from then on, they all tasted very anemic.
Hey Sean just subscribed great content for a busy guy you actually have another kool career. Respect. Btw luv California Pasadena Burbank area been there 3 times.
You nailed it. Frankenberry is my fav. I thought the Bride would have been a classic move. I wanted more caramel apple in the new Carmella but didn't get much of anything. Maybe I should mix it with Apple Jacks? Plus, I just watched a whole video of a guy eating cereal. I need a life. Thanks for the review!
Totally distracted by the Frankenstein poster just like the one in The Funhouse in the background! I wish they would just use the old throwback boxes every Fall. Those are the designs we all love. FYI, I have that vinyl Boo Berry Bank as well.
Didn't have anything like this in the UK as a kid in the 70s-80s, we had boring things like corn flakes, sugar puffs and ready brek. Sugar puffs had a hairy monster called the Honey Monster and the cereal came with about 500% of your daily allowance of sugar. Ready brek was oats ground into flour and had a great PR department who convinced kids that if they ate it, it'd make you radioactive or something. I thought your dogs barking were mine, was about to go find out wassapenin.
I think most of those cereals all have a similar taste, its just the food coloring that changes. Any taste difference is likely from the marshmallows they inject into each batch, otherwise you're eating the same thing. I agree too that something like this really belongs to the vintage crowd. Hey its a classic so why wouldn't the kids want it too? Seems like a win/win to just keep it in the old school graphics.
this is why i like you Sean: we agree that this new Carmela character is just the worst. i also agree that they need to simply bring back that old school vibe and those individual character cereals we havent seen in a while. take care Sean!
Sean do you remember when super sugar crisp had the monster posters as prizes! Aw they were Awesome I had Frankenstein on my door and I remember they glowed in the dark, do you have any of those? They don’t have the caliber of toys in the cereals like they did when we were kids! That’s my get off my lawn 😂Thanks Sean your an awesome dude❤
0:50 This is what I've been trying to see in the background for some time. Those are great! Carmella does not fit. What character is it supposed to represent? We have, Frank, Drac, Wolf, Mummy, Ghost and.....DJ? What a bad addition. I hate when they change tried and true designs for no reason whatsoever other than some marketing kid's bad "hip" idea.
Do u have the count chocula, frankenberry, and boo-Berry figures from Jada toys? They r pretty nice figs. Box art is great and I think u would enjoy them.
I spy a Giant Robo figure during that initial camera pan at the start of the video! Cosigned on the new artwork. It doesn't taste the same as the older cereal, not that it was ever "great" to begin with.
I hate the art work this year. So glad I got the retro boxes and saved them last year. I wish they would keep it retro and even do some new hand drawn cartoon commercials.
Hey Sean i had no idea you collected monster cereals. I’m a long time collector too. Let me know if there’s anything you might be looking for and if you sell/trade!
It seems like Hollywood, the marketing industry and music lost their creative force now they just play it safe but at least this did not cost you hundreds of dollars like the fair!
Awesome video as always! Don’t know if you saw my follow up email about my NES slasher games. They’re all set to mail to you, just need a shipping address if you’re interested. Rock on 🤘🏻
It's like they don't even try. They know the old school horror freaks who've kept this cereal going for decades will buy it every year at least once regardless.
I completely agree with carmella creeper design. its super lame, but then again cereal is targeted towards kids so the lame monster high look will probably get them to buy it. I'm a count chocula guy so i'm glad they have never really messed with his design that much.
I didn't think it tasted like caramel apple I thought it tasted like maple syrup. And I agree the character is dumb. At first I thought she was like creature of the Black lagoon daughter than I realize those were fishnets not scales. Yeah they dropped to the ball on this one sadly. Bring back yummy mummy
Fun note- I redrew those retro cereal boxes for General Mills years back. They needed them all full body and digital. Had the pleasure of working on the Monster Cereal boxes three times. Love the video, Sean.
You’re doing god’s work.
Bless!
Would love to see a Retro 70's version of Carmella Creeper
@@chrisstone5607 I'd love to draw that some day.

We need a Creature from the Blackberry Lagoon!
Living in the U.K. we never had anything like this...maybe that's a good thing! Love the channel mate👍
Your collection never ceases to amaze me.

I've still got my Jaws.Cerial box here lol ,love the Glen Strange Frankenstein and Werewolf framed prints on your wall.
Boo Berry will always be my all time favourite
Was hoping you would do a review on the new monster cereal 🥣 My kids enjoyed it! FrankenBerry is definitely the best and yes I agree bring back the retro boxes.
Aw man. Bride of Frankenberry would've been dope.
I've already bought my boxes this year too! Can't say I really like the flavors anymore, I swear they tasted better back in the day, BooBerry and FrankenBerry were sooooo Good. Love those MonsterCereal collectible figures Sean!!!
Back in the day, the cereal was made with oats. Now they use corn. Definitely changes the flavor of the cereal.
Good to know, I always wondered if it was just me mis-remembering. They should switch back to oats!@@treygiovanni6255
I notice different tastes on Capt crunch as well .i still love the peanut butter Capt crunch
The video we needed. Thank you for this
I think the what’s really scary is that there is the box has more nutritional value than the cereal it contains!
Frankenberry, Boo Berry & Count Chockula Mmmmm, two spoons? Oh you don’t want to contaminate yourself 😅
We need Frute Brute back.
I'm a Frankenberry and Booberry guy, but would be willing to try them!

Take care stay safe and will see you on the next video
Okay, I like you even more for having all of those in your collection!
Nice review Sean!! Think I’m going to stick to Booberry!! Frankenberry’s red dye tastes weird to me. 🤔🎃🐈⬛
Count Chocula!
Thanks for the review Sean. She's the first Monster in 37 years. She's a zombie DJ. She's Frankenberrys cousin. Nice collection.
Count Chocula is my favorite of them all
I love the resin cereal monsters. Those are badass ❤
Sean, you should find out if General Mills had to pay Bobby Pickett's estate any licensing fee to use the Monster Mash name.
We all know Boo-Berry is the best. All others are second tier.
Facts
Frankenberry is superior
I loooove me some Frankenberry this time of year. I'll have to try the Carmella Creeper one!

I bought like 8 boxes of Monster Mash Remix because they where closing it out for like a dollar... My kids started a revolt. They said it sucked. lol
Tried both last year, sticking with what i love..good old school
Personally I like your taste test video’s! Love me some Monster cereals but you’re correct, they don’t taste very good but their so damn nostalgic!
They should have done 3 new flavors and had people vote for a winner
Loved that you did this review. I saw these in my local Walmart a few weeks ago and was considering buying them. Count Chocula is my favorite. Have you seen the new look of Halloween Crunch this year?

Frankenberry is my Jam. I'm gonna have to try these and see what's good..

Aah man,would love to hang out,your and awesome dude.
I’d love to see a Halloween 6 The Curse Of Michael Myers cereal called: Thorn Flakes. XD
These cereals actually tasted pretty good at one point. Probably 30 years ago or more. They actually changed the original formulas, and from then on, they all tasted very anemic.

You eating the Monster cereals is becoming a Halloween tradition.
Krunch Krunch Krunch Krunch Krunch Krunch.
BURP.
HAIL BOO BERRY
The crunching noise is hilarious. 😂
Love these vids !! 🥣
Agreed! The new "Hip" look is a put off. Stay with the retro designs....Off to eat some Boo-Berry! 🤘
Totally distracted by the Frankenstein poster just like the one in The Funhouse in the background! I wish they would just use the old throwback boxes every Fall. Those are the designs we all love. FYI, I have that vinyl Boo Berry Bank as well.
Those are the posters made by Topps Chewing gum you could mail off for. Before my time, but I would love to get a couple and have them framed.

Oh crap!
Now I’m the Creeper who’s watching you chomp cereal!
Ha me and my husband just picked up the Carmella creeper and Monster Mash. Havent tried them yet.
Sean do you remember when super sugar crisp had the monster posters as prizes! Aw they were Awesome I had Frankenstein on my door and I remember they glowed in the dark, do you have any of those? They don’t have the caliber of toys in the cereals like they did when we were kids! That’s my get off my lawn 😂Thanks Sean your an awesome dude❤

Count Chocula is the fuckin’ man.
Booberry only 👻
Truely Awesomeness!!😎👊✊
🤔I've Had And Eaten all of them in My Life Time 😊👍👌😆🍁
Do u have the count chocula, frankenberry, and boo-Berry figures from Jada toys? They r pretty nice figs. Box art is great and I think u would enjoy them.
Dude. You got a hella collection of collectibles from all types of movies and TV
Frankenberry is by far my favorite
Sean if they had suspira cereal would you try it? Or inferno
Wow, u got cool collectibles. 1/6 count and boo berry? Cool
Caramella Creeper tasted like a caramel apple to me and I enjoyed it quite a bit (and this comes from somebody that only likes Count Chocula).
Hey Sean do you have any big plans for Halloween i hope you have a good one cheer's
Is it weird that I was eating my cereal while watching this?😂. When your dogs were barking I actually it it was my dogs going nuts lol
😂 comedy gold Sean
GET HYPED HALLOWEEN IS ON THE WAY!!!! #$@& YEA!
I spy a Giant Robo figure during that initial camera pan at the start of the video!
Cosigned on the new artwork. It doesn't taste the same as the older cereal, not that it was ever "great" to begin with.
I have an idea for new monster cereals:
Countess Vampnilla
Pumpkin Spice Geist
Minty-taur
Little doggy is going to make an expression tomorrow at the dog park.
Very cool
did you put the mic right behind your molars?
I hate the art work this year. So glad I got the retro boxes and saved them last year. I wish they would keep it retro and even do some new hand drawn cartoon commercials.
hard pass on "Carmella Creeper" if they were going to go with a green themed monster it shoulda been the Gill Man
Hey Sean i had no idea you collected monster cereals. I’m a long time collector too. Let me know if there’s anything you might be looking for and if you sell/trade!
Have you tried the fruit snacks?
With the green color of the cereal they could've easily done a gillman type mascot. I do not like that design of the new monster girl...
Trying to appeal to a female audience.
@@NickL951 Understandable. But they could've done a Witch in that case...
Am I in this? I don’t recall getting any cereal but then again I’m always high.
I wish they would bring back Kaboom cereal. With the clown.
Finnañy a food review again !🎸
I bought the monster mash box today.
Sean have you tried “Its the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown “ cereal from Kellogg’s yet?
Haven’t found it yet.
Is it any good?
@@NickL951 it’s ok, not as good as the monster cereal
It seems like Hollywood, the marketing industry and music lost their creative force now they just play it safe but at least this did not cost you hundreds of dollars like the fair!
Awesome video as always! Don’t know if you saw my follow up email about my NES slasher games. They’re all set to mail to you, just need a shipping address if you’re interested. Rock on 🤘🏻
Sean has a P.O. Box address in his podcast videos I think!
@@StarryKat A-ha! Thank you. Appreciate it!
It's like they don't even try. They know the old school horror freaks who've kept this cereal going for decades will buy it every year at least once regardless.
I have never had any monster cereals with milk. I have just ate them dry as a snack.
You know what I'm surprised that you haven't gone to the real house of The Munsters in Texas
I completely agree with carmella creeper design. its super lame, but then again cereal is targeted towards kids so the lame monster high look will probably get them to buy it. I'm a count chocula guy so i'm glad they have never really messed with his design that much.
Hey mate. Who is responsible for that music at the start of this video? Is it a particular artist or just free use music?
The Ghastly Ones
@@malfuncsean thanks for that. Love the guitar tone. Something I've been trying to do myself. 🙏👍🙏
10:56 Man you chew and smack like an absolute maniac.
The Silver Shamrock factory in Loleta is condemned to be torn down any time soon. Roof further collapsed. It's on death row. Challis wins.
I miss C-3PO cereal.
I don't blame u,didn't like the design either,we need a peanut butter blobby
Hey malfunsean I saw you at knotts scary farm I’m a UA-camr
Yeah i'm not feeling that design either yuck! Surprised I didn't hear Buddy go get the piece of cereal you dropped lol!
I didn't think it tasted like caramel apple I thought it tasted like maple syrup. And I agree the character is dumb. At first I thought she was like creature of the Black lagoon daughter than I realize those were fishnets not scales. Yeah they dropped to the ball on this one sadly. Bring back yummy mummy
