Social Media Fright This Halloween

by Phillip Rhoades on October 29, 2009

Halloween is invading social media this year with many monsters, spirits, wraiths, and horrors promoting and performing through social media channels.

This year many ghouls and goblins will be conducting their Halloween frightening on twitter. The UFGG (United Federation of Goblinoids and Ghouls) says that studies conducted throughout the year have shown that more ROI on scare workload can be achieved using social media tools.

“We’ve run a lot of fright campaigns as tests this year, and every one has reached more humans with less investement than anything we’ve ever been able to do out of our brick and mortor beneath-the-bed or in-the-closet campaigns,” says Brgkjt’y Clort, head of the UFGG marketing division.

It’s no surprise that many horror celebrities are also turning to tools like Facebook and Myspace. Dr Frankenstien is an active user of facebook. His profile states that he is, “looking for the perfect woman, in parts.” Lord Vlad Tepes (better known under his stage name, Dracula) prefers myspace stating that, “There are people begging to give me their blood every day!”

We tried to reach the Loch Ness Monster through her friendster account, but there was never a response. We believe that, like almost everyone else, Nessy has abandoned her friendster account.

Big Foot has an active profile on twitter, a facebook account updated regularly, a myspace account, etcetera. In fact Big Foot has so many social media accounts that many think Mr Foot may have hired a digital PR company to clean up his name after all of the leaked photos over the last few decades.

The face of Halloween and social media is up for a change this year, but we should all be fine as long as the zombies don’t make it onto the internet. . . Wait, it’s too late!

Have a happy Halloween from all of us at Marketing Conversation and Abraham Harrison LLC.
