These Mars Bar Halloween Commercials Are Perfectly Creepy

Sports fans may have noticed a chilling series of short horror films plaguing their televisions this weekend. They looked like something straight out of a nightmare, but don't be fooled – they were actually commercials for candy.

Mars Bar partnered with Fox Sports to release four separate "bite-size horror" short films, all two minutes long, that aim to spook. These ads don't have any product placement (aside from the candy "presenting" the commercial), but they sure are bone-chilling. Skittles, Starburst, Snickers, and M&M's all get a chance to spook.

Check out a few of the commercials below and learn more about the making of the ads from Adweek.

Irish People Try American Candy

In Ireland, folks don't get all of the same ridiculous candy that we have here in America. But not to fear, the good folks from Facts. are giving Irish people our uniquely American Halloween/fall treats, like candy corn, popcorn balls, and warm apple cider and seeing their reactions. It's delightful, even though the Irish find most of the treats to be some form of "shite." Enjoy!

Jimmy Kimmel Once Again Ruined Halloween For A Bunch Of Kids

In what has become a yearly tradition, fans of Jimmy Kimmel Live have recorded themselves telling their kids that they actually ate all of their Halloween candy, and there's nothing left for the children. It's cruel, and some of the kids react in a completely bratty way, which is quite understandable since their tiny little worlds have been rocked. Enjoy?

31 Days of Calvin and Hobbes: Day 28

I don't know why I think this is so funny. It's actually kind of sad--the world is so polluted that the scariest thing a child can think of is a barrel of toxic waste. Maybe I just like the face Hobbes make when he's being fierce.

Your Daily Song: "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett

This is probably a day late, but I find this one of the quintessential Halloween tunes. It's corny, it's weird, and it's somewhat frightening? Not really at all, but hey, those "wa-oohs" are fantastic.

I Ate My Kids' Halloween Candy!

Here's another one that I'm very late on. Jimmy Kimmel issued another challenge to parents: once again, tell your kids that you ate all their Halloween candy. While some of these kids make me cringe over how upset they get, the ones at the end restore faith in humanity.
