Monstrous Streaming Service Candles

Netflix's Sweet Home Candles Celebrate the New Series

— January 25, 2021 — Marketing
Netflix's Sweet Home candles were inspired by the popular South Korean series. Written by Kim Kan-bi and Hwang Young-chan, the show follows the struggle of a community aiming to survive in a world that's been dominated by monstrous creatures.

To promote and celebrate the series, Netflix produced these frightening candles that share a likeness to the creatures featured in the show. The candle arrives in two iterations, the first being the Steroid Monster, and the second being the Blind Monster. Those interested in the monstrous candles can enter a contest to win a box with the both. To enter, participants can head to the streaming service's Instagram account and comment their thoughts on the series.
