That’s right, we brough three of our iconic Monsters – Boo Berry, Count Chocula and FrankenBerry – to life as one-of-a-kind busts.
And we gave them away to three lucky fans.

For the 2020 Halloween season, we did something we’ve never done before.
Something monstrously exciting.
These incredible busts are the work of award-winning special effects artist, Karlee Morse.
“General Mills called me up… and they were looking for a way to make Halloween super special,” says Morse. “They wanted to bring their Monster Cereal characters to life in a way that’s never been done before, and I said, ‘of course!’ I am a huge fan of Count Chocula specifically, so when they called me I kind of had to pinch myself. I was really excited to be involved in this.”
Morse’s work is typically for film and television, so working on the Monster Cereal busts was a new, but exciting challenge for her.
“There’s a lot of attention to detail,” she says. “I spent a lot of time and love and care putting into this… I’m so excited to see what fans think of these character busts.”
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how Morse brought three of our iconic Monsters to life.
Inspired by classic horror film characters, our Monster Cereals have been a beloved part of fall traditions for 50 years.
