*Updated with the official press release and new images.* If you have fond memories of spending endless Saturday mornings digging into a bowl of your favorite sugary cereal while watching your cartoon pals on the tube, then prepare for the ultimate nostalgia trip courtesy of the folks at Fright Rags, who have released a General Mills Monsters apparel collection that includes shirts, socks, masks, and spoons.

Press Release: For many, General Mills' Monster Cereals are as synonymous with Halloween as horror movies and jack-o-lanterns. With the holiday quickly approaching, Fright-Rags has released the General Mills Monsters collection.

Dress up Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry with limited edition box sets. Each one contains a ventilated mask, an exclusive shirt designed by Christopher Franchi, and a color-changing spoon, all packaged in a retro-style window box. They are limited to 650 sets per character, and you'll save $15 if you order all three now through Monday by using coupon code MONSTERMASKS15.

Several other shirts are available separately: tri-blend tees of each mascot, a shirt designed by Abrar Ajmal with all three characters, and baseball tees with vintage cereal box artwork. Each monster is also represented with a pair of socks featuring their respective cereal and marshmallow shapes.

"For a T-shirt company that focuses on horror, the pairing of Monster Cereals and Fright-Rags is a match made in sugary heaven," states Fright-Rags founder Ben Scrivens. "It has literally been years in the making."

For those wondering about General Mills' other monster mascots, Scrivens offers exciting news: "Plan on more releases in the next few years as we will explore more ideas and products for these monsters. And yes, Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy are coming!"

The General Mills Monsters collection is on sale now at Fright-Rags.com. All items are in stock except the masks, which will ship in mid-November. Any order placed in October will receive a Fright-Rags Video card good for 10-50% off your next order.

From Fright Rags: "For a t-shirt company that focuses on horror, the pairing of Monster Cereals and Fright-Rags is a match made in sugary heaven. However, it has literally been years in the making from just making initial contact, to designing, creating, and planning this release - and it has been fraught with setbacks. To be honest, I wasn't even sure we'd be able to get these out for Halloween, which would have been a major bummer. However, we kept at it and ready to launch just in time (even though some items will be on pre-order). With that, I am extremely pleased with the way everything has turned out, and we (and the amazing people at General Mills) couldn't be more excited to finally launch this new collection!

For our first series, we've decided to focus on classic versions of the "big three"; Count Chocula, Frankenberry, and Boo Berry. We wanted each shirt to have a vintage, classic look and feel that recalls a simpler, more magical time in our lives. However, we do have this license for awhile, so plan on more releases in the next few years as we will explore more ideas and products for these monsters - and YES- Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy are coming :)

Check out all the details of the release below, and get ready for the launch THIS FRIDAY, October 21 at 10am EST! Thank you again, and make sure to eat'em all up before they are gone!
