It's that time of year again! Time to take out your pumpkin carving supplies, overdose on candy, and watch as many horror flicks on Turner Classic Movies as you can handle.
To help everyone get into the spirit of Halloween we put together this slideshow of the most terrifying ads ever, from around the world.
Not all of the ads were specifically created with Halloween in mind. Some of them are PSAs.
And, of course, they're ads, so many of their chills are rounded off in a tame ending.
A couple of them, however — including our No.1 choice, the incredibly original trailer for the video game "Dead Island" — will totally creep you out.
13. Agent Provocateur — "Fleurs du Mal"
It all starts with a solitary woman receiving an unsettling prank phone call. Reminiscent of campy 1970's horror films, the 2012 Agent Provocateur ad by Epoch London then follows the woman as she is attacked by a mob of lingerie clad models. (Warning: there are brief flashes of nudity in this ad.)
Initially the ad was challenged by offended viewers, but ultimately the U.K. Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), not known for its leniency, ruled that though borderline, the ad was still fit for public viewing.
12. LG Electronics — "So Real It's Scary"
SuperHeroes, Amsterdam, created this ad for LG Electronics to promote the new high-def flat screen televisions. The LG team covered the floor of an elevator with nine flat screens and then tricked unwitting elevator riders into thinking the floor of the car was falling apart beneath their feet.
11. Dirt Devil — "The Exorcist"
Andrea Roth directed this devilish ad for Dirt Devil in 2011, in which a genuinely creepy priest is called to perform an exorcism and as he gazes upon the possessed woman he cleverly professes, "you know when it's the devil." The shot then pans up to the apartment above where an old woman is vacuuming.
