• So... when is the Hannibal Lecter one coming out? -tongue noise- Also, yeah, I wonder how long until womens groups complain about the dead girl in the car. Though really, isn't it just brilliant to use dead bodies to sell Burgers? geez. it's not even Hallo... oh.. wait.. Just realized the date.. maybe it is a joke?

• The actual Burger King is more frightening than any of the other characters. why do they always get the freddy gloved hand wrong???? it is on his right hand. is it really that hard to get it right? Way to go dubai

• This is just so fucking stupid. I think they come up with these ads after too many whoppers.

• Honestly I guess I'm one of the PC police you're talking about, but... I don't get why they had to include a victim in the Jason one, except to be shocking and "edgy". The other three don't have victims and work just fine. Dead people really don't make me want to buy fast food, and dead women especially. The ad comes off as shockingly misogynistic, not funny.

• Hey BK, you know what's really funny? Violence against women! Seriously, was the dead cheerleader necessary? The other three were fine without victims, I don't see why they felt the need to add that to the Jason one.

• Now we know where the meat for "Angus Steakburgers" comes from...

• Well, now we know were the meat for those "Angus Steakburgers" comes from...

• thought the burger king was creepy but now adding Freddy , Jason, who will no doubt take off his mask to eat. and ghost face who is proably cleaning up some spilled stuff. and chucky who is a doll he can not even eat food. to sell there stuff what are the execs smoking to okay the add. in the first place. though even horror icons have to eat too and guess Freddy and his poses love the whopper.

• Unlike most folks here, I approve of this ad campaign. I love horror films, and hey, it's better than using Paris Hilton in a swimsuit. Undead serial killers have to eat after all! Or . . . wait. . . do they??? Also, Michael Myers and Ash are missing.

• There's only one way for McDonald's to combat this ad campaign: - Ash vs. Ronald McDonald

• Wait, is that a dead hooker hanging over his windshield? WTF?! Still, kinda awesome. The king truly is more terrigying than all of those horror movie icons.

• AHA! Just figured that's how the Middle East must see us - psychotic killer who loves us some fast food!

• Jason's exposed face is actually seen in almost all of the films, with the exceptions being VI, IX and X. Yeah, I used to be a huge horror buff, and the various interpretations of his appearance by different directors were always interesting to see.

• the blog post Rob linked to says they're done by a Dubai based ad company named Tonic. So it's probably more a matter of the ads being made in Dubai than intended for Dubai.

• I think you caulked up the spelling there.

• looks like he got mustard on his robe and is trying to clean it off in the bathroom. now why he brought his food in there... I have no clue...

• Or just slasher movie fans.

• what the fuck was that? and am I the only person who thinks the King looked at least a bit like Alan Moore?

• This must be some foreign marketing or something. Notice too how Freddy license plate is from Dubai. Strange. "Nightmare on El-Em Street"

• Well, Jason the masked killer from Friday the 13th eats at Burger King, then I better eat there so I can be as cool as Jason. Wait a minute... I can understand wanting celebrities to endorse your product, but come on! This almost makes me believe this is BK's attempt at a "viral" ad: you know, they release it, get some responses, and see what happens. And when people don't like it, they claim it was made by a fan and not their corporate promotions department.

• Exactly! Dammit, now I'm going to be in the halloween mood all day after looking at the adds.

• How is Jason going to enjoy his meal with his mask on?

• The people who frequent Burger King at 1 am are a lot scarier than Jason could ever hope to be.

• Yikes. What exactly is Ghost Face doing? I can't quite tell. And the BK King still gives me nightmares.

• Oh hey, my unhealthy fear of Chucky now prevents me from eating at Burger King. HOORAY!

• Looking back at all the major ad campaigns that have featured psychotic murderers... wait a second. There haven't been any. For a reason.

• Happily, despite all the bloodthirsty killers milling about, BK is still safe for a significant portion of the nerd population; the virgin usually is the sole survivor in most slasher movies.

• Not that I care-- but Im sure the PC police will be all over the ad with the dead cheerleader in it-- the rest are spoofy-- that one is "promoting" violence toward women.

• This is a really stupid campaign. Unless of course, they're trying to attract more psychopaths into their restaurants.

• I would have liked to have seen these horror figures running in fear from the creepy King mascot.

• Not stupid teens...horny teens. And it looks like it's not Jason's first kill of the night, since he would have had killed the black cheerleader first.

• As a car ad campaign this is hilarious, as an ad for food products, this is gross.

• I like how Freddy is piercing the drink with his hands, a la Edward Scissorhands. The idea that the main part of his 'scary' look gets in the way of his everyday life is just funny to me.

• chauk this up to another: Good Idea, Bad Idea

• New line of products: For "Nightmare on Elm Street" 1) Freddy Fries - burnt of course 2) BK "Boiler Room" Sandwich 3) "Pun"ion rings - tired and tasteless For "Friday the 13th" 1) "The Whimper" and "Whimper Junior" 2) Chocolate Shriek (also available in strawberry and vanilla) 3) Chef's hacked salad 4) Bottled "Crystal Lake" water For "Chucky" (kids menu) 1) "Best Friend" burger - extra ketchup and made with select ground chuck 2) Chicken stabbers

• I am more afraid of that freaky-ass King than I am of any of these other guys. Seriously, if you meet Jason in a dark alley you pretty much know what you are going to get (chopped in half)... the King, with his stupid frozen smile and plastic face... yeesh.

• Does anyone notice the BK Kids Club in the Chuckie picture? Now that's a cool reference.

• I have no real complaints about the ads, just the timing. Wouldn't October be a better time?

• I don't know if saying you're going to run into these guys is a good way to encourage people to go to Burger King.

• Actually we have seen his mouth a few times - One example is Friday the 13th part Gazillion (i'm too lazy to look it up) The New Blood - the one Jason takes on the telekinesis girl and get his ass whomped by her and her dead dad. At one point she shatters his mask and his face is revealed. Personally I would have had Jason teaming up with the Trix Rabbit to take out those bastard kids from keeping the Rabbit from the Trix cereal. A "CEREAL" Killer Ad Campaign..it's gold I tell you.. GOLD!

• Yeahh... like most ad campaigns, I'm going to say this is really fucking stupid. Also, Jason was an inspired choice for an ad featuring food considering we've never seen his mouth.

• BUT.......their food is also Very BAD!!!
