One of the most wonderful things about Fred Dekker’s The Monster Squad is that it brought together all of cinema’s most iconic classic monsters for a full-on monster mash of ’80s fun, something that simply would not be possible today due to rights issues. Where else can you see the Universal Monsters hanging out together? In the cereal aisle, of course!
Every Halloween season, General Mills brings Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Franken Berry back to life and back to store shelves, the three leading men in the “Cereal Monsters” line of spooky breakfast treats. Of course, it wouldn’t be right to not mention both Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute, two short-lived characters whose cereals were last seen back in 2013.
Now what would happen if you combined Dekker’s Monster Squad with General Mills’ Cereal Monsters? That’s precisely the delicious fusion artist UncannyKnack has conjured up!
The artist explains over on Deviant Art, “Having some fun homaging The Monster Squad with my favourite cereals from when I was a kid – it was a hoot mashing Boo Berry, Count Chocula, Franken Berry and the two lesser known Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute. Hope you enjoy!”
