Frightening image pulled after complaints about Edmonton Festival of Fear ad
EDMONTON — The organizer of an international horror movie festival in Edmonton has pulled an ad used to promote the fall event following complaints about the image.
It showed two scantily clad women chained up and appearing to be in distress, and was used to advertise VIP passes for the Festival of Fear in October.
Lianne Makuch says she was one of a number of people who reached out to the organizer with concerns.
She says she was shocked to see the image come across her Facebook news feed on Monday.
