HALLOWEEN 2 ad campaign wins, yet fails

THE WIN: The ad monkeys who whipped up the Internet campaign for Rob Zombie's upcoming Halloween II (not to be confused with, you know, Halloween II) have come up with a genuinely brilliant idea. They have a bunch of flash ads that look just like those ubiquitous, cheesy, animated ads for auto insurance, online dating, etc. You see the usual video of the hot girl gabbing on the phone or the dancing couple... And then all of a sudden the series' villain Michael Myers lurches into the scene, and drags them away. Simply awesome. Those ad monkeys earned their bananas on this one!

THE FAIL: The ads don't seem to be embeddable, which is just ridiculous marketing fail. So, I'll have to send you to their website to see the darn things.
