Creepy Old SAAB ad

December 2nd, 2009 rberry

I was looking through some old ads from a 1980 magazine to put on retroCRUSH and at first glance, this SAAB ad just looked like any other boring car ad from the time, until I took a look a closer look at the driver.

Holy crap! Is that Michael Myers behind the wheel? Why on earth did they put a mask on the driver? Maybe they airbrushed the face this way to avoid paying a modeling fee? Any ideas, ad men?

   I think it’s just a lousy photograph, or it’s because the photo was blown up too big…

   Yes, that IS Michael Myers. After a long day of stabbing teens, he would unwind by climbing behind the wheel of his Saab and driving on a semi-sideways road.

   Shit, I thought everyone knew that.
