This clever social media ad series from Hootsuite shows that sharing content online doesn't have to be frightening. Each of the ads takes after a specific social network and a different horror movie, pairing relevant ones such as the girl from The Ring with YouTube, a woman being attacked Hitchcock style by The (Twitter) Birds and Pinhead from Hellraiser being literally sporting content from Pinterest on his head.
These comical ads are marked with the #SocialNotScary tag, proving that Hootsuite's social media management services will take all of the panic, fright and anxiety out of sharing to various social networks. The release of these ads is perfect for the end of October and Halloween, since these horror movie icons are so perfectly paired with the most popular social media networks out there.
