AIBU to be a bit shocked by the new advert which features a pretty scary "ghost" child following a lone women in a destered car park. It was on relatively early in the evening when I was watching T.V with my DD (14) and nephew (8). Both children were a bit spooked by it..........as was I !

I am shocked it was on early - my ds 10 would've freaked! I saw it the other night and it made me jump but it was on late so I just presumed it would be shown late in the evenings! What time was it shown?

Apparently there is a zombie one too?!

chickensaresafehere · 07/10/2011 12:19

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 07/10/2011 12:26

Was expecting to be a bit ffs Hmm

But they are actually scarey, wouldn't want dc's to see them.

Where is happy twisty hand man who I fancy the arse off?

TheCountessOlenska · 07/10/2011 12:28

Arrgghh! That is really creepy! Dislike!!

lovecat · 07/10/2011 12:31

It was horrible - I thought it was going to be one of those road safety ones where the driver sees the child they've murdered appearing everywhere... gave me the creeps!

5inthebed · 07/10/2011 12:36

The zombie one isn't too bad, just watched it on youtubed, the other one is very scary.

LittleOneMum · 07/10/2011 12:38

My friend was responsible for that advert, he works there. I shall have a word.

HornySwoggle · 07/10/2011 12:39

Just watched on youtube. Its not scary you shitty pant wimps.

smackapacca · 07/10/2011 12:41

Yuk to both

5inthebed · 07/10/2011 12:41

It is! I am a wimp, I cannot watch horror films.

Mousey84 · 07/10/2011 12:43

I almost posted about it the other night, but thought Id be laughed at. I actually had a nightmare that night that my DD was the ghost and was standing at the side of my bed. I cant watch it now and scramble to fast forward then avert my eyes.

HornySwoggle · 07/10/2011 12:44

That one is pretty spooky

Sidge · 07/10/2011 12:47

Is it supposed to be a tie-in for Halloween?

Not exactly likely to make me buy their products.

HornySwoggle · 07/10/2011 12:48

umm if you do watch that link I posted fast foward to at least half way through it because nothing happens before then.

JambalayaCodfishDIE · 07/10/2011 12:52

Oh my gosh, the little girl one is terrifying!!

TheTenantOfWildfellHall · 07/10/2011 12:54

Not scary. My DD (5) was a little Shock at the little girl one but then said "that's not real is it? It's just pretend" and then she was fine.

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 07/10/2011 12:58

HornySwoggle · 07/10/2011 12:59

Francagoestohollywood · 07/10/2011 13:00
