The Creepy IHOP Commercial

"This is what IHOP looks like in your nightmares! Back in 1969, this IHOP commercial aired just like this. Why does this look like it was produced by John Wayne Gacy?

Did this commercial actually bring in new customers? Because after watching this nightmare-inducer, I'm assuming that as soon as you finished enjoying a delicious stack of pancakes (laced with something, of course) a laughing clown in an orange waitress uniform bludgeoned you to death with a coffee carafe."
