B&Q 'DIY horror' by Dare
Campaign Work, Wednesday, 25 May 2011 06:10PM
B&Q has launched an online campaign, by Dare, which spoofs cult horror movies to demonstrate that B&Q takes the fear out of DIY.
B&Q 'DIY horror: The Shining' by Dare
The online films parody classic scenes from horror movies, The Shining, Psycho and Poltergeist. In the Poltergeist parody a little blonde girl is watching a TV with a scrambled reception. When her mother fixes it and cartoon characters reappear on screen she announces ‘They’re back’. The films use the strapline ‘DIY doesn’t have to be scary’.
They launch this week across YouTube and the retailer’s website. They were created by Dan Harrison, Jonny Watson Erik Weidenhielm and John Gibson. They were directed by Ben Whitehouse through Agile Films. T
The films aim to promote B&Q’s in-store demos. They are also supported by an online marketing campaign, also created by Dare.

The games console as we know it is dead. When Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One earlier this week, it was clear that this was more than a device that would enable you to play Call of Duty or FIFA – this was, in Microsoft’s own words, “an all-in-one home entertainment system”.
