Well, as far as that goes I've already seen some pop up Halloween stores in towns. Halloween City is one. And I've received mailings from Spirit.

It seems Party City uses this same commercial every year.

Party City has been using that commercial since like 2009 or 2010.

I've been seeing the Kit Kat Halloween commercial for about 2 weeks now.

I know. A little originality never hurt anyone. That baby at the end of the commercial would be 4 or 5 now.

I think many companies reuse commercials/ads because they themselves produce a sense of nostalgia related to the product. Similar to the Campbells soup "snowman" commercial, or some of the Christmas Coke commercials and print ads.

The Party City commercial has some nostalgia. Notice how they used the Thriller song. I remember one other commercial where they used the Monster Mash song.

Yeah. Monster Mash would be a good one for producing nostalgia for lots of Halloween related stuff.

Ooh. Via I-Mockery, I have discovered that Post is releasing a Halloween version of Pebbles cereal called "Candy Corn Pebbles. Interesting.



Apparently they taste more like Maple Syrup than Candy Corn though, so go figure.

As much as I love candy corn, I don't think I'll take a chance at trying this.
