To think that this is a pretty rubbish prize?!

[Doodledumdums]

I just saw an advert on TV promoting the DVD for a horror film, and if you purchase it, you are eligible to win a nights stay in one of the UKs most haunted hotels!

AIBU to think that this is a HORRIBLE prize?! I deliberately avoided a beautiful wedding venue because an innocent google search led me to various websites saying that the bridal suite was haunted by an evil spirit, and that really freaked me out!

I appreciate this probably makes me sound about 12! I was just surprised by this marketing technique! I don't work in marketing, but I would imagine that they are targeting quite a specific market here, and therefore possibly discouraging potential sales?! Or am I wrong?!

(Of course if you do not believe in woo, then this whole thread just makes me look like a hysterical child!)

People who like horror films tend to like the idea of staying in a "haunted" hotel, sounds like a logical prize to me.

I think it's quite a fun prize. And relevant.

I like horror films, but you couldn't pay me any amount of money to stay anywhere near a 'haunted' hotel, let alone in one!

Yes I guess it is undeniably a very relevant prize!

It's a horror film. At Halloween. Imagine that would be a fab prize for those interested in the film!

Every horror film fan I know loves that sort of stuff. So I suspect you aren't in the majority.

Haha, okay, it seems IABU!

The idea just freaked me out! I guess if you like that sort of thing then it could be....fun?! shudder
