Frankenberry was conceived shortly after Count Dracula converted himself into Count Chocula. One day, in a fit of extreme boredom and with nothing to do (as his trusty assistant Ygor was presumed dead), Chocula had an idea. All of his vampire buddies had retired to Ohio, and there were no villagers to terrorize, since they had all moved to the town where Cocoa Puffs was invented. It was his favorite night of the week, Grave Digging Night, so he went on a rampage - digging up graves until virtually all the graves near his favorite hunting ground, Blue River Community College were empty. He then returned to the castle, with a full sack of body parts, ready to build his most ambitious creature yet.
