Terminix’s ghostly wall-creatures just want to be your friend What kind of corporate advertising character would you trust if not a creepy, disembodied wall-face like this one? This is one of several haunting visages that chat up a storm in Terminix’s new “If Walls Could Talk” campaign. (They talk mostly about the creepy-crawlies that infest their homes.) And while I’m sure countless hours of challenging special-effects work went into their creation, these faces have that unfortunate, mummy-like, undead look about them. And in a way, that makes their chirpy tone even more disconcerting. Expect to shield your eyes from lots of these wall-faces on television in the coming weeks, if my press packet has it correct. —Posted by Tim Nudd

Reminds me of that Far Side cartoon of an Appliance Healer: "I order the foul demon that clogs this vacuum cleaner to COME OUT!"

I am so unbelievably frightened by this creature that I don't know what to do with myself.

It might have been ok, had they hired professional talent.

I've been wondering for over a year what the face in the garden wall said after the gardener left to call Terminix...

"...and the drokils need watering!"

Daffodils? Dracunculus?
