DirecTV Raises Girl From Dead for Ad
PopEater
(Oct. 9) - DirecTV's ads can be pretty creative. The company takes a scene from a well known movie, reshoots it with the same actors but different lines to promote their product.
But, EW's PopWatch thinks the latest commercial has gone too far. The new TV spot uses the scene from 'Poltergeist' when Heather O'Rourke ominously says 'They're here.'
Only this time, Craig T. Nelson explains isn't ghosts, but the lack of DirecTV.
However, the advertisement may be in poor taste since O'Rourke died tragically in 1988.
