If you were watching a baseball game last night, you may have noticed someone behind home plate who couldn’t stop smiling in a very creepy way. Turns out that wasn’t a coincidence.
The two fans who attended the red stockings–yankees, Mets–Athletics Y cardinals–Dodgers The Friday night games were actors promoting Smile, a horror movie that apparently features villains with a bunch of very creepy smiles.
It was certainly impressive that these actors could keep their smiles on throughout the game, and the marketing definitely worked as it got people talking about these weird fans in games. Still, it resulted in a strange image.
The film opens in theaters next week, which would explain the timing of the marketing campaign. They also may not be done promoting the movie, so don’t be surprised if creepy grinning fans show up at more games this week.
Still, even if the marketing worked to get the word out, it’s not clear if it made people more likely to watch the movie. Instead, people may have had nightmares last night that they didn’t expect.
