As in previous years, today I have some Halloween and spooky TV commercials to share. I don't see them very often, so when I do, I consider them a treat.
First, a quick one for M&Ms.
Next, a Halloween Countdowner's favorite, the monster cereals from General Mills. I love that this commerical is tailored specifically for Halloween!
Here is a creepy and fun commercial for Milton Bradley's Dark Shadows board game. This black and white commercial aired while the series was still on the air in the late 60s.
Long-standing staples of the blog are McDonalds commercials. Here is a great Halloween-themed one from 1979. I was just starting to really get into trick or treating when this aired (I was five at the time).
Finally, here is a funny commercial for Cingular cellphone service (now merged with AT&T). My daughter is almost at that age where she'll be begging for a cellphone. That's scary!
Thanks!

Great selection! I don't remember the Cingular one, that was creepy fun!
I love Halloween-themed commercials (about the only time I actually look forward to commercials)!
The McDonald's ones always remind me of my childhood.
Thx for sharing!
Thanks Joe and Spooky!
