So, apparently there’s this app that a bunch of people are using called MyIdol, which allows people to place their face on a virtual dancing body for…I have no idea, actually.
But sometimes the most popular apps that bring people the most joy can be used for the most sinister of purposes. And that’s where the social media team behind the upcoming Poltergeist remake come in.
The team put the face of the creepy clown doll from the film into the app and had it sing a Chinese-heavy version of “Happy Birthday”. To say that it’s a little frightening is a bit of an understatement. If you hate clowns, this is the stuff of nightmares. But don’t take my word for it. Head below to see for yourself.
Poltergeist comes out May 22nd and is produced by Sam Raimi.
