Texas confectionary Atomic Candy is getting into the Halloween spirit with a creepy new commercial that capitalizes on the current wave of clown mass hysteria.
The spot, from Innocean USA, features a bozo with a baseball bat terrifying an animated piñata into producing candy—sadly, in a fashion that's sure to put viewers off Snickers bars for good. (Lest it need be repeated, scat humor and edibles really don't mix all that well.)
But if Halloween is scary, it won't be the scariest day of this year—that will be Election Day, warn some new print ads from the same agency/client team.
