Pizzeria Hell’s Pizza was forced to pull an ad campaign which was meant to be shown this Halloween, as it featured animations of deceased public figures including the late Queen Mother, dancing around a grave yard.

The advert which was put on Hell’s Pizza’s website two days before Halloween has been removed after receiving criticism from the son of the late Sir Edmund Hillary who was also featured in the video, who described it as “disturbing” and “grotesque”.
