It all makes perfect sense. Someone comes up with great merchandise, and they don't stock it. Somebody else comes up with sh*t product, and it's al over the place. I think Universal fans are being punished for some previous, undisclosed sins.

But your sins are so blatant.............

This deserves to be re-posted here:

look what I found! Kinda late in the month of October for a Halloween promotion, if these were out earlier how did we miss this??!!! Nothing on the web about it period that I could find...
Glow in the Dark Cereal Monster masks on the backs of family size cereals at Walmart


Count Chocula is on the Cocoa Puffs box
Fruit Brute on Cookie Crisp
Booberry on Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Yummy Mummy on Lucky Charms
Frankenberry on Reeses Puffs

Of course I got all five, and promptly put back the Capt Crunch with green ghosts I was going to get.
Too bad they didn't actually come out with Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute cereal this year.

Wonder what they put on the backs of the Booberry, etc. boxes themselves?

That's kind of bizarre to cross them over like that, I guess it could be to sell Count Chocula AND Reese's Puffs, but could the demand from the general public for monster cereals be that high?  Still, SUPER NEAT.

On the back of the monster cereals boxes I've seen so far, they're all the same, promoting an interactive free app, kind of like a one page comic book talking story deal.

I read there are three different sets of artwork on the boxes this year, and the target ones have a cut out assemble haunted house on the back.

Off to Target then to get the castle... I went several weeks ago to Target and they didn't have the cereals yet (boxes version 3), so I bought regulars at Walmart (boxes version 1) and saw them at Walgreen's (boxes version 1) as well. Weeks later I see family size monster cereals at Walmart (boxes version 2)and got them too but it wasn't until yesterday that I saw the crossover boxes (boxes version 4) at Wally world. I bought reeses and toast crunch for the first time in my life so their marketing gimmick worked, I have no plans to eat it though, I am giving away that cereal, yeeeiccch.

Maybe you could post comparison pictures of the various artwork versions, when you have them all?

Just to clarify I didn't "find" the castle boxes in Target yet, just on that site with the artsy pics. :)
Are you just opposed to cereal? Because Cinnamon Toast Crunch is what I eat when I'm playing grown-up. It leaves the milk tasting very much like horchata. Haha.

When I was Google image searching "monster cereals 2015" for the castle, all the box art comes up too.  No real remarkable differences, the "main" box art and "castle" box art are basically mirrored.
