Ghost Face Vodka has been debuted in time for the 30th anniversary of the Scream slasher film franchise in celebration of its iconic villain for fans to pick up ahead of the next installment. The spirt was created by actor Matthew Lillard's Macabre Spirits in partnership with Fun World and is crafted with a 100% German potato spirit base that's naturally gluten-free. The spirit comes packaged in a bottle with the likeness of the Ghost Face character itself and is arriving in a timely manner ahead of the seventh film in the franchise that will hit theaters in February.
Lillard himself commented on the Ghost Face Vodka saying, "At Macabre Spirits, we love creating premium spirit experiences for the horror community. 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."
