Ghostly car ad - updated
Posted by tom | Oct 31, 2007The professor which shared a version of this piece with a class of which I was a part, embraced the following story:
This is a car ad from England which never got to tv because of spooky things in it. Look carefully for when the car becomes a ghost.
There are numerous versions posted, but this one at least provides proper warning. Comments on Nightmare Before Christmas and the origin of All Hallows Eve/All Saints Day some other time.
Please forgive me, i.e., Tom, for posting the ghostly car ad and violating your trust. The above story is true, I came across the clip during a class and I was under the impression that the cautions given were enough. But I was in error.
I had Theresa review the piece a few minutes ago. Despite my warnings, she too received quite a shock when she saw it and instructed me to take it down. Please forgive me for this aberration. I encourage you to browse over to Reformation Day instead.
Okay Tom, not funny at all. I'm too accustomed to ignoring the warnings at Disney World, where it's hard to sort the ones that really matter from the ones that don't. Like discerning the useful warnings in an appliance manual from the "don't use this electrical device in the shower" kind. So because this was on your site, I figured it had some value and watched it.
Heather, I hope you read this comment before hitting the "play" button. DON'T DO IT!
