Monsters .. there really not just for breakfast anymore !!!

General Mills Monster Cereal characters have been done by almost everybody over all these years since they first hit the shelves.

Count Chocula is a breakfast cereal produced by General Mills for the North American market that contains chocolate-flavored corn cereal bits and marshmallows. Count Chocula is also the cereal's trademarked mascot character, whose name is a pun on the vampire Count Dracula. The character was first introduced in 1971, and is is one of several "ghoulishly" designed members of other lines of General Mills cereals. Instead of craving blood like Dracula, Chocula craves Count Chocula breakfast cereal. The cereal was once a part of a product line of five monster-themed breakfast cereals, including Franken Berry, Boo Berry, Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy.

Franken Berry is a member of the line of monster-themed breakfast cereals produced by General Mills for the North American market. It contains strawberry-flavoured corn cereal bits and marshmallows.
Franken Berry is also the name of the cereal's mascot, a variant of Frankenstein's monster. In 1971, the first two cereals in the line were introduced, the still-available Count Chocula and (strawberry flavored) Franken Berry.

Boo Berry is a variety of the monster-themed high-sugar breakfast cereals produced by General Mills for the North American market. It contains blueberry-flavored corn cereal bits and marshmallows.

Boo Berry is also the name of the cereal's mascot, a blue ghost with a red bow-tie and a red-striped yellow hat, voiced by a Peter Lorre imitator.
Boo Berry was released in 1973, and is sometimes mistakenly thought to be discontinued. In reality, its distribution is just much lower and more sporadic than that of the flagship cereal Count Chocula. The best time of the year to find Boo Berry is around Halloween.
