Serial Killer Cereal

We all know about Count Chocula, Frankenberry and Boo Berry, but those cereals are all based on old horror movie tropes that aren’t scary anymore and are a bit outdated. Kids are totally bored with that stuff, man! So how about a more up-to-date horror movie cereal, like maybe a slasher movie cereal?

That’s right, it’s time for Serial Killer Cereal, made from frosted oat body parts with marshmallow hockey masks, carving knives, meat cleavers, chainsaws, scythes and machetes (a.k.a.: fortified with iron), all splattered with a gooey red raspberry-flavored frosting that makes the milk turn all bloody: Yummy, yummy!

That’s Serial Killer Cereal: Your naughty teens will be dying for it! (But not your nice, good girl daughter: she will survive.)

Oh, and to advertise this cereal, there should be a Cereal Killer character, and in the ads, he stalks and kills other cereal mascot characters, like the leprechaun from Lucky Charms, Snap, Crackle and Pop from Rice Crispies, the rabbit from Trix, the cuckoo from Cocoa Puffs, Toucan Sam from Froot Loops, that honey bee from Honey Nut Cheerios, Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble from Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles, the Quaker from Quaker products (he should be the easiest, being an elderly pacifist), and even Tony the Tiger from Frosted Flakes. (These ads could become quite popular with health food advocates despite Serial Killer Cereal also being a sugared cereal, because at least those characters are getting their just desserts for shilling their sugary junk food to kids for the most important meal of the day and making them all obese!)

Of course Count Chocula, Frankenberry and the Boo Berry ghost are all undead characters, so the Cereal Killer can’t very well kill them. Plus, they’re all horror-themed cereals, so they work together to terrorize and victimize humanity (of course).
