By far one of the most memorable commercials this Super Bowl was Mountain Dew's parody of The Shining, which proved alternately hilarious and terrifying.

Bryan Cranston played the part of Jack Torrance, and proved beyond any doubt that he'd make a fantastic substitute for Jack Nicholson if anyone ever dared to remake Stanley Kubrick's masterful horror film.

But nothing in the commercial proved scarier than Cranston donning a blue dress and wig to play the Grady twins, while chugging some of the green stuff and then smiling creepily at the camera. Nightmare fuel.
