Yeah! I love this stuff. In college, I once pointed out that every social group has to eventually get around to the "Twilight Zone conversation," in which everyone hangs out late at night and tells their favorite Zone plots and you don't realize how fucking freaked out you are until you have to go to the kitchen to get another beer from the fridge and you nearly scream when you see a pincushion on a table or something. But exactly the same thing happened with me many times with Ad Council PSAs. The damn things are so fucking good; I love that they have license to try and be as creepy and scary as possible for a good cause.
A few of my favorites are here on this page, but there are others I love, which are so fucking scary that I don't even want to start summarizing them because I'm alone in my dark apartment at 2:30 in the morning and I'm going to freak myself out. Maybe tomorrow during the day.
Oh and that Magic trailer gave me the worst nightmares. I still get creeped out by ventriloquist dummies. I don't think they could have picked an uglier more intense looking dummy.
Also, I don't care what anyone says or how awful the actual movie was; that 2012 teaser trailer that shows the fucking Mediterranean Sea cresting over the Himalayas is awesome as hell.
(I never saw the obvious connection to the The Shining trailer until this website pointed it out.
I agree, it's all about the anorexia one. I have worked with a few anorexics and this is exactly how they see themselves; it's very depressing and very difficult to treat because it borders on delusional.

I was surprised at how disturbing some of them were, that anorexia one is so awful.

Well, they built it to look like Anthony "Hannibal Lecter" Hopkins; no wonder it looks like that!
