== Commercials featuring the zombie == | |||
=== Car (Auto in German) === | |||
The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. Once it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie suddenly pops into the scene very briefly accompanied by <span>a frightening scream,</span> scaring the viewer. This commercial is more commonly known as ''Ghost Car, Spooky Car'' or ''Scary Car Commercial''. The commercial was filmed at [https://goo.gl/maps/kB7FZJDSDA3cBSCx7 36°46'09.3"N 119°15'21.9"W], which is located near Kings Canyon Joint Unified, California.<ref>https://twitter.com/georainbolt/status/1613692024770727936</ref> | |||
* '''Fishing ''(Angler in German)''''': This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams. | * '''Fishing ''(Angler in German)''''': This shows a man fishing in a lake, and not long afterward the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as it screams. | ||
=== Yoga === | |||
This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts their hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Fishing/Angler ad, but the dark obscures its face.) This commercial was likely filmed at [[Wikipedia:Joshua Tree National Park|Joshua Tree National Park]]<ref>34° 00′ 58.18″ N, 116° 09′ 34.27″ W</ref>. | |||
* '''Meadow ''(Wiese in German)''''': The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee. It then cuts to a meadow with some bicycles leaning against a large tree, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. The zombie, not long afterward, shows up from the left side of the screen and screams. | * '''Meadow ''(Wiese in German)''''': The video starts with a field of wildflowers and a pollinating bee.

=== Surfing === | |||
This is a far away view of a person on a beach going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. (The zombie chroma key seems to be the same one used in the Car/Auto ad, but it's zoomed in.) This commercial is also known as Beach 3, or Surfer. | |||

== Commercials featuring the gargoyle == | |||
=== Beach (Strand in German) === | |||
This depicts two lovers on a beach about to kiss, and just as they do, the gargoyle jumps up screaming from the bottom of the screen, blocking the view, with blood dripping from its mouth. K-fee Beach was filmed at Point Dume State Beach. | |||
=== Boardwalk (Weg in German) === | |||
This shows a relaxing scene of a boardwalk near a beach, with a jogger in the distance who can be heard breathing, and soon stops to take a break and look at the beach. The camera then pans to the beach as well, and shortly after it stops moving, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This commercial is also known as ''Beach 2''. This commercial was filmed at Moonstone Beach Boardwalk in Cambria, CA. | |||
=== Buddha === | |||
This depicts a woman sitting in a garden, meditating near a Buddha statue. The camera briefly cuts to the statue and then to the woman, and when it moves away to its original view, the gargoyle jumps up screaming. Its face is so close to the camera that it is out of focus. | |||
* '''Golf''': A man is shown golfing from far away. Eventually, a faint putting sound is heard, and shortly afterward, the gargoyle appears upside-down and screams. This is the only spot that does not include any background music. | * '''Golf''': A man is shown golfing from far away.
