AdFreakFor Halloween, Skittles Created a Trick-or-Treating House That Roams Around TorontoBut it's still giving out candy rather than asking for itBy David Gianatasio|October 31, 2018 In Halloween Canada, house trick or treats you!DDB CanadaShareBy David Gianatasio|October 31, 2018 ShareThis Halloween-themed house has been tooling around Toronto, making stops to open a slot in its front door and dispense Skittles from zombie hands whenever someone rings the bell.The candy brand and DDB developed the eye-catching and mildly creepy holiday activation, building a wooden structure, about the size of a van, with a small electric vehicle hidden inside for propulsion. Two staffers inhabit the house during its travels. One drives, while the other distributes the sweet sweet samples.“Skittles is all about twisting the predictable,” DDB Canada creative director Craig Ferguson tells Adweek. “This seemed like an appropriately twisted spin on the traditional way of trick or treating. Why go out when we can come to you?”Last Friday night, the house toured downtown neighborhoods. On Halloween, it will park at the Toronto Eaton Centre shopping mall.The house isn’t haunted. But it does spread a brand message—which, let’s face it, is basically the same thing.All in all, it’s a fun followup to the “Oh Canada Skittles” launch this summer, when the client-agency team celebrated the nation’s 151st birthday with a 4.5-hour video stream of a Beaver Man building a beaver dam.
