If you ever wanted to reach out into your TV screen and touch a puppet on Sesame Street or The Muppet Show, well, now’s your chance.

With spooky season fast approaching, General Mills has partnered with the Jim Henson Company for limited-edition packaging that reimagines the Monster Cereal lineup as muppets. Now, you can see Count Chocula, Boo Berry, and Franken Berry given the muppet treatment, all while the Jim Henson Company celebrates its 70th anniversary. Coming this August, the limited-edition boxes will feature the likeness of the monsters brought to life in felt form; on the back of each box, fans can also get the scoop on how the puppet mavericks brought the beloved General Mills characters to life.
