The spiders web shows traditional Halloween symbols.
The channel 4 logo is very symbolic and also shows what channel the program will be on.
'Dare to tune in' is adaptable for radio and print which shows the link between the adverts. It also adds mystery to the program.
The suit shows how every 'suit' has an inner child that is fascinated by Halloween and sweets. It will appeal to the middle age of the target audience.
The pumpkin head is also a tradition symbol of Halloween and also introduces a fun side to the documentary which is also shown by the hands and feet being made of sweets.
