A Few Old and Creepy Ads for Halloween

A bit more insight into the world our parents and grandparents come from – maybe even some of you were around when these were and that would explain a few things.  There are more here too:  Old Creepy Ads | Weirdomatic.

Nothing says cross at the green and not in between quite like a kid lying in a pool of red.

The timeless creepy clown – no better image to use for hot chocolate and bedtime to ensure your kids never sleep again.

I dont speak or read French and this ad doesnt encourage me to start. 

All I picture is the creepy voice in her head… ” Where is the peanut butter… Mother? “

Family dinner at the Creepeltons – Ham, peas, and some glazed organs. Dont forget to wash it down with some yummy milk.

Eat your worms Chucky and you will grow up big and strong and have 10 movies made about you taking the form of a serial killer doll.

Is this where the expression “throwing the baby out with the bath water” came from?  I think Timmy might have lost a kidney too.

Call me foolish, but I would imagine the first to step to any safety claim in this ad would be to remove the razor from the baby.

This evolution of creepy faces pales to the elfish ears and “mental institution” hair style…

Didnt realize this household cleaner was also the household cleaners’ cleaner in the 50’s. 

Mommy… Grandpa is bludgeoning the cat again… 

Forget your troubles, come on get Happy… we’re gonna wash all your blues (and basically your life) away…

 Dont worry Mrs. Johnson, little Johnny wont act up ever again.
