In addition to the video, the brand also released a digital print iteration of the campaign, which included a series of images that featured terrifying clowns holding the famed sandwich. Under the image, the slogan reads "Come as a clown, eat as a king."
The campaign's participants are encouraged to engage with the brand online, tagging their photos with #ScaryClownNight.
