Awesome scary! :-)
I wonder if a campaign being scary makes it more likely to go viral.
From the article: "Many of our buying decisions are essentially motivated by fear.

This could explain why horror--the genre that can most fully explore and exploit our fears--has yielded so many advertising gems."
