The competition bits from the UK rental VHS of Ghostbusters with the trailers cut out leaving the 'Coke Is It' ad before the film started. I think it's too late to enter now :-)
Anyone have footage of the other segments from the pre-film promotion/adverts? I remember this going on for a while longer with adverts for Birdy, White Nights and Perfect.
I remember this, the scary voice sounded like Thriller and as a kid, added to the experience. I still don't get it though, was there a right answer or were all answers put into the same "hat"? Did anyone even win? How did this competition help drive profits? ...I'd get it if it was a phone number with a ramped up charge rate, but it's a postal thing. Is the product display alone enough to generate extra sales (ie. ah well, we didn't win, let's buy a sony product anyway)?

Oh Yes October 1985 when Ghostbusters finally came out on VHS rental in the UK. Wish I still had it as it's worth a fair amount these days.
