A Vampire's Bloodlust Gets Clock-Blocked in PlayStation's Fun Ad About Distracting Details

If you happen to find yourself surrounded by a gaggle of bloodthirsty vampires this Halloween, don’t fret. Even without a wooden stake or holy water at your disposal, you may be able to slip away with the help of chic accessories. At least, that appears to be the saving grace for the protagonist in PlayStation's new PS4Pro ad, "Vampire Hunter," from BBH New York. The 30-second ad is the second installment of what's intended to be a three-part campaign called “Missed Details,” which features popular character archetypes who find themselves captivated by the details of their environment in the middle of rather pressing tasks. In “Vampire Hunter,” three vampires have cornered their helpless victim against a banister. Just as they prepare to feast on his blood, one of the attackers stops—as does the action: [kickout id="1"] As the vampire admires the hunter's stately timepiece at length, one of his cohorts stomps away in annoyance, dubbing him the world’s worst vampire. What’s so wrong about appreciating fine jewelry? The humorous campaign is meant to highlight the power of the stellar details in the PS4 Pro, which is equipped with 4K-TV capability. “Vampire Hunter” follows the ad “Armor,” which centered two medieval knights musing over armor patterns in the midst of a sword fight.
