They’re…. here?

this isn’t a usual rant, it’s more about a spooky commercial that kind of weirded me out the other day.

there’s a new direct tv ad that features a snippet from the 1982 horror classic Poltergeist . the ad features the scene where Carol Anne goes to the tv with the snowy picture and starts talking to the tv. I guess you can call the spot an homage, to me, it just comes off as creepy. In the spot Craig T. Nelson starts going off about direct tv and how he should have switched while a Carol Anne body double stays at the foot of the bed. It’s eery considering that Heather O’Rourke died twenty years ago, now this doesn’t compare to other spots that have featured Humphrey Bogart and I believe the other famous dead person used was Gene Kelly, it doesn’t compare because Heather O’Rourke died VERY early on in her life.

that’s just my opinion
