I've just received word that General Mills Monster Cereals -- Boo Berry, Franken Berry and Count Chocula -- are back in stores for a limited time until Oct. 31. What a delightful Halloween treat!

The iconic cereals were introduced almost 40 years ago. This time around, they'll be sold in snazzy redesigned boxes.

Another thing to love about the cereals (aside from the nostalgia): Comics are featured on the back of two of 'em. Stock up while you can, because they go pretty fast.
