Just ahead of the release of Scream 7, original franchise star Matthew Lillard is introducing a brand new kind of keepsake for longtime fans. The star has just announced that his horror-themed distilling imprint Macabre Spirits is releasing a Scream-inspired vodka, featuring the face of the franchise’s iconic slasher, Ghost Face.
“I am incredibly proud to finally introduce Ghost Face Vodka by Macabre Spirits,” Lillard wrote in an Instagram post. “We wanted to create a spirit that honors the legacy of Ghost Face while standing on its own as a premium, top-shelf vodka. The bar cart just got a lot more killer. Who’s ready for a drink?”
The new German potato-based spirit will be available beginning February 9, retailing at $160 USD a bottle. (Quite the price tag for a base spirit!) Not only will fans get the premium vodka when they purchase, but also a limited edition premium box, featuring a signed bottle, custom Ghost Face glassware, a special pin, and a party game called Killer Bash. (This is not expected to last very long when the drink goes up for sale next month, naturally.)
“At Macabre Spirits, we love creating premium spirit experiences for the horror community,” said Lillard. “I’ve had a long, lovely history with that mask, so getting to work with Fun World to bring the iconic Ghost Face mask into a whole new space felt full-circle. It’s a chance to give fans something premium, something collectible, and something that tastes incredible—just in time for me to return to the scene of the crime this February.”
Ghost Face Vodka is one of several horror-themed spirits to be released through Macabre, an imprint of Find Familiar Spirits, the distilling company he co-founded. They recently collaborated with popular band Ice Nine Kills for the whiskey Horrorwood Reserve, and released two spirits that come with books of their own: Hell Is Not Mocked, a bourbon paired with a story by Christopher Buehlman, and Rare, Fine & Limited, a special sotol (a Mexican spirit similar to tequila) with a story by Mike Flanagan.
Macabre Spirits’ new Ghost Face Vodka goes on sale on February 9. For more information and to be notified when it hits shelves, check out their website.
