Cinnamon Toast Crunch Goes Cannibal in New Horror Ads

Among all the horror franchises currently available, none comes close to the sheer terror induced by Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Yes, you heard that right! This beloved breakfast cereal has ventured into the realm of horror, and not just any kind – cannibalistic horror. And it’s not even Halloween yet! In their latest advertisements, Cinnamon Toast Crunch introduces a maliciously cute piece of cereal with an appetite for its own kind. The thought of this kid-friendly breakfast food indulging in such gruesome behavior is both shocking and mouthwateringly delicious.

Surprisingly, those Cinnamon Toast Crunch horror commercials pack a punchier impact than anticipated. A whole refrigerator filled with Cinnamon Toast Crunch body parts for consumption? Not a chance! You’ve got to witness it yourself to truly comprehend. Take a peek at the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cannibal commercial below.

It’s great news that if you opt for Cinnamon Toast Crunch, you won’t be mistaken for a cannibal or a terrifying monster. However, this cereal certainly has an eerie following! The stop-motion advertisements are crafted like mini thrillers, and they’re exceptionally well-made. They remind us a bit of Dexter, Hannibal, and American Psycho – all fantastic movies. In today’s world, a touch of dark humor from our morning meals feels quite fitting. Plus, you can spot intriguing Easter eggs like a cookbook titled “Breakfast to Die For” on the shelf. And we appreciate that the stop-motion was done by skilled animators and not AI.

Brandon Tyrrell, a senior marketing communications manager at General Mills, discusses the idea of a Cinnamon Toast Crunch horror film, catering to Generation Z consumers. He explains that these individuals have grown fond of the brand and have strong emotional connections to it, but they are now maturing into older teenagers. They seek narratives and comedy that resonate with their current life stage – more intelligent, multi-layered, and self-aware.

Gen Z appears to share an unusual, yet intriguing, sense of humor that resonates with millennials too, evoking a nostalgic feeling for the classic cereal advertisements of yesteryears, but given a darker twist. Brands that dare to push boundaries are always admired, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch is no exception with its cannibalistic horror-themed ads and humorous approach. This strategy seems to be working, as it strikes a chord with us – indicating that they’ve hit the mark.
