Halloween commercials
(See also Christmas, other holidays, creepy kids, and Bite Size Horror)

I started this page in fall of 2013, with a couple of new ads, and a few older ones I remembered. But then I did a general YouTube search for Halloween commercials, and found some I'd forgotten, and some I'd never seen. Doubtless there are countless other ads I've forgotten, or never saw, which I haven't found, but would include here if I did. In 2015, I decided to just make a playlist on YouTube, to de-clutter this page. Some of the ads (particularly the older ones) have poor audio and/or video quality, but it can't be helped, I guess. I also eventually started a playlist called "Everyday Monsters," for ads that aren't about Halloween, but would be apt around Halloween. (I moved a few of those ads off the Halloween playlist, but most of them were never on it.)

Here are a few ads that I used to have on my Halloween commercials playlist, but they disappeared, and now I can only find them on iSpot. First, a Google app ad from 2015, then a Target run ad from 2017. And in 2019 there's a Hershey's/Addams Family ad I could only find on facebook, and a Ring video doorbell ad I could only find on iSpot.
