    Horror-Themed Commercials

    You've seen 'em. The latest ones include Verizon's "Dead Zone" commercials and the Samsung Instinct phone. When I see some of these, I can't help but feel a lil' sickened. Is the horror genre just not taken seriously anymore? Is there any respect left for it?

    Was it ever taken "seriously?"

    Well, I'd like to think so, yeah. More than it is nowadays. It's become almost like a gimmick for the advertising industry. A tool, a mockery of the real stuff.

    It'll never be taken seriously in the mainstream. That's how we wind up with stuff like Scary Movie. Unless Stephen King, Wes Craven, John Carpenter, or M.Night Shamylan is behind it, it's a big joke.

    anybody remember the Nike commercial with the killer chasing a chick through the woods. you know, the one that was pulled because it sent a bad message about violence against women or something....never mind the fact that the killer didn't even get to touch her speedy ass.

    I dont like horror commercials. I remember a shoe commercial from when I was a kid...the shoes lit up....and they made the commercial in a dark playground and it was supposed to be creepy, but it was stupid instead.

    The only one I ever liked was a German car commercial where it shows a car driving down a country road, then it goes behind a tree, but it doenst come out the other side, then a zombie pops outta fuckin' nowhere and makes a horrible shriek, lol I remember my sister jumping when we saw that. Makes me want to visit there again really bad, good times there.
