While one cheesemonger who contributed to this narrative wished to remain anonymous for calling out Swiss mastermind Walter Rass and his undeniably creepy Chällerhocker label, I daresay the famed cheesemaker would not be offended. Walter Rass himself “knows what he did last summer,” as it were, and has fully called himself out by previously releasing a Halloween version of Chällerhocker, where the already disturbing kid on the label gets the evil eye treatment.

So, in perhaps the creepiest lineup of cheeses ever assembled, here are 15 of the best spooky season cheeses that aren’t Mimolette.
