Welcome to the first full week of the Countdown! And today I have a great way to kick the week off. Today I present my annual look at great Halloween TV commercials!
Of course, they're not necessarily Halloween specific, but may simply have a spooky, scary, or strange theme. Let's check them out!
First, try claiming Dracula's gold (Dracula has gold?) in this fun electronic game from 1982.
Next, it's always great to pay a visit to Count Chocula and Frankenberry, but especially on Halloween!
This British commercial for Knorr soup is supposed to be whimsical, but frankly, I find it a bit creepy. I'm sure this scarecrow is friendly, but..well, take a look!
Most of the commercials I feature are many years, even decades old, but the final two commercials I have today are in fact from this very year! The first one from this past July features Cheetos doing a tie-in with Netflix's hit series Wednesday by auditioning Thing to be Cheetos' new spokes...hand.
Finally, my last commercial today is extremely new--it debuted September 29, 2025, exactly one week ago from when I'm writing this! Dr. Frankenstein attempts to teach his creation the ways of the world with poor results. But hook Frankie up with Xfinity wi-fi, and he becomes an overnight sensation!
Thank you for your time! Please come back every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in October for more Halloween greatness!

Fun stuff. We settle for so little with the old school games. But I'm sure it was fun regardless. And yes, the soup one IS creepy!
Looks like producers of the Dracula spot weren't able to get Joe Flaherty to play his Count Floyd character, so they settled for a poor imitation.
The game looks like fun, despite its humble graphics. And boy, that scarecrow!
I thought the same thing!
