This underwater photo series from Sony shows people in costume who have had their photos taken as if they were right in the midst of bobbing for apples. These Halloween ads promote taking "scary good selfies," since this is one of the few phones on the market that won't leave you totally devastated if you happen to drop it into some water.
The ads feature a creepy clown, a werewolf, a skeleton and a vampire, posing underwater, where you'd never expect to find any of these creatures. Although most people are not likely to buy a phone solely based off of the fact that you can take underwater selfies, it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a creative photoshoot idea for next Halloween.
