I Turned Horror Games Into Cereal Mascots

There was a new cereal mascot out for, and it wasn't very good! So we're taking all the other horror characters who would do a better job and giving them the cereal mascot treatment. Freddy Fazberry, anyone?

@@epikgui in a way, teenagers are the scariest things out there, though in a past tense manner. For most, that part of life is a time most chase trends or try to be different, usually going too far, and looking back at best you'll go "...why did I do that?"

I love how the Monika cereals are just named "Oops! Just Monika" as contrast to EVERY OTHER CEREAL BOXES. It really adds some "horror" and reminds you that Monika is a self-aware artificial intelligence who might have tried to tamper with the printed pictures on the box to try and do anything.

"artificially intelligently flavored" is something that no one would tell you to put on the just monika cereal, but that everyone knew you HAD to I love the details, the fact it is cupcake flavored as well, really shows how you know what it is about, has done your research and isn't just slaping random trends everywhere

[@zeppie_]

The "Oops! Just Monika" name also made me genuinely laugh out loud On closer inspection the four puffs have the same colouration as each main character's eyes, which only has mildly gruesome implications. And the phrase "Just Monika" is also plastered all over the packaging, with the nutritional information at the top right just saying "Monika" over and over

I think the problem is that General Mills *should’ve* gone with a design more like the older ones. Even as a member of Gen Z i have fond memories of passing by rows of boo-berry and count chocula boxes. And the designs you showed (specifically the John Jones one, that caught me off guard-) like the Monika and Analog horror boxes were very good and made me want to have the boxes. One for nostalgia and the other due to the newer intrest’s of mine.

There are very few places I can go that put me through such an inverted bell curve of emotions. The transition from gaming mascots to war criminals and serial killers gave me whiplash.

[@speedslider3913]

Escalating insanity, perfectly done cereal designs with lots of hidden details that don't feel shallow or mean-spirited towards people who like the stuff it's representing (I say this as a adult fan of half of this stuff), hard-hitting criticism of how shallow corporations are with appealing to people, a interesting analysis of mascots and how youth and our relationship with consumption and marketing/mascots has changed, good ol' wit and humor, really cute monster girls to replace a drab one, this video has it all! I was expecting some "here's some mascot horror characters, and here's how I made them like 70's cereal mascots," but you really went above and beyond, and showed a great understanding of character design! Top-of-the-line work, truly!
