A series of Halloween-themed spots from Mars Confectionary are scaring the bejesus out of social media users.
In partnership with the Fox Networks in America, ‘Bite Size Horror’ is a series of two-minute-long spots which have begun rolling out just in time for next week’s spooky holiday.
The campaign boasts four different short films, each with its own chilling storyline.
Mars’ produced a spot for each of its main brands including Starburst, M&Ms, Snickers and Skittles.
However, it’s Skittles ‘Floor 9.5′ that really has people talking. Check it out below:

Snickers’ ‘The Replacement’ is also well worth a watch.
Naturally, people immediately took to social media to express their horror after viewing the films.
Okay, that "Floor 9.5" commercial was AWESOME. The suspense built up just like a short story and I LOVED IT!!! @Skittles #BiteSizeHorror #halloween @20thcenturyfox
