Home Depot Ramones Ad?

The Ramones have a great song from their first album called: “I Don’t Wanna Go Down to the Basement”, named as it is for all those 1970s horror and slasher movies with “Don’t!” in their titles. Oh, but with all the home improvement stuff you can get at Home Depot, you can totally convince people to go down to the basement nowadays as a prelude to killing them!

Yes, maybe Home Depot ought to sponsor a new series of “Don’t Go Into the…” movies to show how inviting everything is now that homeowners can get all this great stuff from Home Depot! (And, of course, all that stuff only serves as a lure for the killers to get their victims!)

Here’s the luring Ramones song:


Just kidding! Surely only Lowe’s would stoop to something so Lowe as this! (Just kidding! Only I would stoop so Lowe as this!)

Actually, it might make a funny joke ad now that horror tropes are considered safe in TV ads. (Funny, only like ten years ago I was told again and again that horror tropes would never work in ads. Now they are commonplace.)
