Here’s ‘Hellboy’ Creator Mike Mignola’s Take on the General Mills Cereal Monsters!
The past couple weeks over on Twitter, Hellboy creator Mike Mignola has been putting his own unique spin on other pop culture icons, auctioning some of the artwork off for charity. Naturally, the project has led to Mignola getting a ton of requests from his followers, and it looks like one of the most frequent requests was for Mignola’s take on the Cereal Monsters.
This morning, Mignola took to Twitter to make our dreams come true.
“Not really doing requests but… It had become clear that people were never gonna stop asking for these guys,” Mignola tweeted, sharing his versions of Boo, Chocula and Frankenberry.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
