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.
Oh I love me some rot your teeth sugar sweet cereals, but never cared for Cinnamon Toast Crunch that much.
The 2015 non monster cereal cross over boxes with monster masks are not anywhere I have looked on the web and my google-fu is strong grasshoppa. Not even on the General Mills website, although that is hardly surprising, they fail to even mention Fruit Brute and Yummy mummy! Which is why I was so surprised to find them.

aura of foreboding

Target was told by corporate not to put the boxes out until October 4.  They are now displaying them with the regular cereals on an endcap.  The boxes have different art:

Thank you for showing me where to find these masks!  I was going bananas!  I thought they did not exist!  They are just on non-monster cereals!  hahaha

FINALLY got the two Frankenstein trays, the napkins, and the cool coasters. Also snatched an empty display box for the pops. So, it would seem that with less than two weeks to go and being told there would be no more shipments coming in, all hope is not lost. World Market's website has a local store stock checker on each item's page via zipcode input and it was accurate for my store and all three items.  Don't give up yet y'all!

Stay sick. Turn blue. Drop dead.

Did you get any pops to pop in the pops box?

Recently we lost one of our fellow Ghostbuster costumers to a auto crash. About 30 of us traveled to his funeral from across the country to honor him.

On our way back home, we stopped at a cracker barrel for some comfort food lunch, and what do we see? And animated ghost with a top hat (He frequently wore a top hat with his Ghostbusters uniform) , and as I walk up to it and touch it, it starts to play Ghostbusters.

Needless to say, we had to own it!

Also of note, they have a nice toon Frankenstein mug, and salmon halloween stuff is 40% off.

Here's a Ghosty mug we also scored there:


The toon Frank mug:


And this nice jack-o-lantern lamp... It has a glass front and back, and metallic painted tin sides

Haha yes. I already have 4 Creature pops from earlier on. But at $2.50 apiece, a boxful will have to be a post-Halloween clearance gamble!

Thanks. It was really a tragedy.. He was 30, type 1 diabetes, and could get blackouts without knowing they were even coming on. He was in his Ghostbuster uniform, in his Ecto, heading to do a charity event, and blacked out and swerved into head on traffic.

He deserved a far better fate.

Here's the way to save on groceries.

Get your favorite cereal the day after Halloween for half price.  Cut the back of the box off and sell it for $7.00 on eBay.

(Gotta wonder if there will be a buyer.)
