When we heard that Sam Freakin' Raimi was directing a commercial for Chevrolet that spoofs horror movie tropes, our first thought was, "Hmm, wonder how he's gonna sneak Bruce Campbell into this." Sadly, Bruce won't be found here, but the ad, by Commonwealth/McCann, is pretty good anyway.

It highlights the safety of Chevy's 2016 Malibu and Cruze models, and likens driving to being in a creepy old house full of stuff trying to kill you. (As a Maryland resident, this literally hits me where I live.)
