Advertising is a way for companies to introduce their products to customers.
Below is a list of the scariest ads ever. Whether they boost sales or not is unknown, but their haunting level is certainly no less than the movie The Nun.
1. Horrible cereal commercial
Clowns have long appeared in advertising. They don’t always look scary, but with the 1960 Sugar Rice Krinkles cereal commercial, it was truly a nightmare for those who saw it.
2. Little Baby ice cream advertisement
It’s so common to make cute ice cream commercials, who doesn’t love this dish.
Completely contradicting the concept of cute, this ad shows a man covered in ice cream and scooping spoonfuls into his mouth while glaring at the viewer.
3. Children’s perfume spray bottle that looks like a scene from an adult movie
Love’s was a pretty famous perfume brand in the 70s, but they also did some very strange ads.
4. The baby doll smiles like in the movie Ghost Doll
For some people, dolls are not quite scary objects with lifeless eyes always open and staring at you.
Imagine if you watch a horror movie with a scary laughing doll, this doll will do the same thing, even the turning of the heads of the children in the advertisement will make the viewer startled.
5. Even tiny devils need tissues
The Japanese Kleenex tissue commercial gives viewers goosebumps because the song is gentle but has something very magical about it.

If you think that smiling dolls are the pinnacle of scary, the product below will make you think again.

Honestly, if you didn’t know this was an advertisement, you would definitely think you were watching a real-life video about the scene of facing the devil on a deserted road.
8. Burger King’s horror advertisement
It seems that your colleagues are not only opponents on the way to promotion, but also people who are always watching your food.
9. When parents turn into monsters
