Carmella Creeper
Undead, turntable-spinning DJ mascot/spokesmonster for General Mills' new caramel apple-flavored breakfast cereal, introduced in Fall 2023. She proudly joins the ranks of Count Chocula, Franken Berry, and Boo Berry (RIP Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy), breaking the glass bowl/ceiling.
Per General Mills:
Carmella is a cool, young and very capable young Zombie. She is Franken Berry’s long lost cousin, and she is back to help bring the rest of the Monsters into the 21st Century. She is a DJ and loves to host parties at the haunted mansion with her friends.
Carmella is the first ever General Mills' female Monster.
She was also featured on the box of the limited-time Monster Mash Remix cereal, introduced at the same time. The cereal featured marshmallow flavors from all of the monster cereals.
