THE SPOT
"Black House" promotes the latest novel from authors Stephen King and Peter Straub. The CG :15 opens on a crow flying toward a "black house." The sounds of a crow cawing, whispers in a strange language and the flapping of wings are evident, and as the crow lands on the windowsill of the house, it slowly turns to reveal a red, glowing eye. Children’s cries, wind, creaks and groans echo, as a blast of light from the window fills the screen. The light disappears to reveal the Black House book cover. The voiceover states, "This house is definitely not a home."
