About Count Chocula

One of the Boogeymen of Breakfast, Count Chocula is a crunchy General Mills breakfast cereal with a chocolate flavor added to its tiny, bat- and vampire-shaped marshmallows and grains. The cereal first hit grocery store shelves in 1971 and featured the tagline, "I want to eat your cereal!" Count Chocula is a cartoon parody of Dracula and is a friendly vampire who happens to love chocolatey corn puffed cereal. He's frequently accompanied by brown bats and is one of several General Mills monster pitchmen for cereals, albeit the most popular one. His other monster-themed cereal friends include Frankenberry, Booberry, and the now-discontinued Fruit Brute (a werewolf) and Fruity Yummy Mummy.

Dressing up as Count Chocula

An unexpected twist on the time-honored costume classic of a vampire, the officially licensed General Mills Count Chocula costume is available in adult sizes. Complete with a cartoonish brown-and-white evening tuxedo consisting of a brown shirt made to look like a jacket with tails and white "shirt" inset, brown pants with brown-and-white spats boot covers, the costume also includes a black and brown cape that ties around the neck. Also included is a headpiece-type wig that has two peaks on the side made to look like Count Chocula's distinctive 'do. Put in a pair of fangs and grab a bowl of your favorite breakfast cereal to do this vintage classic justice!
