Two great ones.

Quick thoughts:

The 1990 one with Perkins makes me a little sad, because that was only two years(less?) before his death in 1992 and...he looks fine. Healthy even. How quickly he was taken away.

The other one -- made in 2000 and hence requiring a Perkins voice-a-like -- has a great moment when "Mother" goes rushing into the kitchen. She moves with some of that same sudden-death herky-jerky inhuman essence as when she came out at Arbogast. A reminder that "Mother" -- as Hitchcock presented her -- was more than just an old lady. She was a MONSTER. And when she moved to kill -- she moved FAST. And this commercial captured some of that scare.

Nice use of the opening Phoenix music in the second commercial, too.
