A new ad for The Nun was recently released and has spooked so many folks it has now been banned for YouTube.
In the ad, which played randomly before other videos, a warning pops up briefly telling viewers to lower their volume and then bam, a picture of the nun pops up.

The people of Twitter complained about the video along with others on social media until YouTube removed it from their advertising. Either way, it’s a damn good way to advertise.

In the film, “a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate. Together they uncover the order’s unholy secret. Risking not only their lives but their faith and their very souls, they confront a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun that first terrorized audiences in The Conjuring 2, as the abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.”
The Nun stars Oscar-nominee Demian Bichir (A Better Life) as Father Burke, Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story) as Sister Irene, Jonas Bloquet (Elle) as Frenchie, Charlotte Hope (Game of Thrones) as Sister Victoria, Ingrid Bisu (Toni Erdmann) as Sister Oana, and Bonnie Aarons, who is reprising her role as the nun from The Conjuring 2.

The Nun arrives in theater on September 7.
