DDB Group Hong Kong is giving visitors to Hang Lung Properties’ The Peak Galleria an earful with a terrifying new take on a Halloween classic this October.

The agency is tapping into the power of sound to dial up the horror for the shopping mall’s haunted house experience set in a dark and twisted clown’s playground. The auditory ‘Halloween Haunted Playground’ is daring visitors to ‘experience what you hear because there is no turning back’.

Three teaser videos kicked off the campaign driving awareness, visitors and ultimately sales at The Peak Galleria. Demonstrating the power of sound to inspire fear, the videos released on Facebook appear innocent at first glance but take on a whole new meaning when a mixture of spine-chilling sounds are introduced. In addition, a WhatsApp audio recording featuring a run-of-the-mill conversation mixed with unsettling clown voices further intensified the fear factor in the lead up to the launch.
