[Video] Bacardi Channels Horror Classics for Fun VHS-Style Halloween Advertisement

Published

With a bat as their logo, you could say that Bacardi‘s offerings are “Halloweeny” all year round, and as it turns out, Halloween is actually the best time of the year for the company. As the company’s creative director just explained to A.List, “Halloween is our biggest occasion. Every year we do something different for the holiday. We own it.”

This year, Bacardi teamed with a horror production house for a fun promotional video that serves up a recipe for a mixed drink known as “The Zombie,” presented as a VHS-style ad that begins with a tape being slid into a VCR. The short advertisement pays tribute to classic horror films, most notably The Shining and Frankenstein.

Check it out below, and enjoy a few “Zombie” cocktails this Halloween season. Treat yourself!

The Bacardi Halloween campaign is the handiwork of The Voorhees.

‘Darkest Dungeon II’ Arrives July 15 on PlayStation Consoles [Trailer]

A year after its initial release on PC, Red Hook Studios will finally be bringing Darkest Dungeon II to the PlayStation. The base game, as well as the “The Binding Blade” DLC and the Oblivion bundle which contains the base game and DLC – will be available as cross-buy across PlayStation 4 and 5 on July 15th. Pre-orders are now available.

“We have been very eager to bring Darkest Dungeon II to PlayStation players,” said Tyler Sigman, Design Director for Red Hook Studios. “The game feels great with DualSense Controller–we’ve been able to add touches like feeling the heartbeat of a hero on death’s door, or the rumble of the stagecoach’s wheels as it hits a trap. [The original] Darkest Dungeon was fortunate to find a strong community on PlayStation and we hope the same proves true with the sequel.”

As mentioned, in addition to the base game (which we reviewed here), “The Blinding Blade” DLC will also be available on PlayStation. The expansion sees players face off against The Warlord, a new roaming mini-boss to encounter on your journey to the Mountain in Darkest Dungeon II. The DLC also adds two new playable heroes in The Duelist and The Crusader, complete with a special unlock quest for the Crusader, unique trinkets, signature items and fully voiced backstories, including playable flashback encounters.

Darkest Dungeon II is available now on the Epic Games Store and Steam.
