You don’t have to wait until the Super Bowl to see bizarre commercials.
Speaking of the Super Bowl, one of our favorites from last year was TurboTax‘s, which starred Kathy Bates as the owner of a haunted house; humorously, she wonders if the ghost children that reside in her new home can be claimed as dependents. The company is going even harder on the horror-inspired commercials this year, unleashing a series of spooky new ads.
This particular campaign’s slogan? There’s nothing to be afraid of.
The four commercials for the campaign come together to convey the message that TurboTax makes filing your taxes much less terrifying than we make the process out to be, and they feature a ghost, a monstrous campground slasher in a (tax-deductible) hockey mask, a dancing teddy bear doll and a chupacabra riding a scooter. Hey, we said they were bizarre.
Keep being super weird, TurboTax.

Stunlock Gives a Glimpse of New Content for ‘V Rising’ With Ruins of Mortium Gameplay Trailer [Watch]
The full release of V Rising is coming up quick. And just in case the upcoming Castlevania crossover wasn’t enough, Stunlock has released a new gameplay trailer showing off the new Ruins of Mortium endgame zone for V Rising.
Once the heart of the powerful Vampire civilization, the Ruins of Mortium now lies in ruins, teeming with the cult-like remnants of Dracula’s forces. Players will encounter the Draculin, creatures tainted by Dracula’s influence, and face off against his Vampire Generals. The ultimate challenge awaits as players journey into the depths of Mortium to confront Dracula himself. While battling through his forces and disrupting dark rituals intent on reviving the ancient Vampire king, players will uncover ancient powers and prepare for the ultimate showdown against the tyrant himself.

- Explore a new deadly endgame zone: The Ruins of Mortium
- Experience dynamic endgame events
