(Candy corn was also originally called “Chicken Feed.”)

Have you heard of the new horror film Smile? We *have* to point out this stellar marketing campaign for the film.
From Collider: “Fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Oakland A’s, New York Yankees, or NBC’s Today may have noticed something unsettling occurring [over the weekend]. With the release of Paramount Pictures’ new horror film Smile just around the corner, strange people have started popping up on public broadcasts with an unflinching, incredibly sinister-looking grin.”
