Sips & Sites & Bites

If you’ve ever watched the movie Scream and thought, “You know what this scene needs? A really good vodka,” well … Matthew Lillard has you covered.

The actor forever linked to one of horror’s most iconic reveals is leaning all the way into his spooky legacy with Ghost Face Vodka, a new release from Macabre Spirits, the horror-centric spirits company he co-founded with screenwriter Justin Ware. And yes … this is very much that Ghost Face. The mask. The knife. The pop-culture juggernaut. Only now it’s showing up at your bar cart instead of behind a closet door.

Launching February 9th, Ghost Face Vodka is part collectible, part premium spirit, and part love letter to horror fans who take their fandom seriously … but not too seriously.

From Slasher Classic to Spirits Shelf

Lillard’s connection to Ghost Face is about as personal as it gets. (Spoiler alert for a movie that came out in 1996: he was the original Ghost Face in Scream.) Nearly three decades later, he’s returning to the franchise in Scream 7 this February, making the timing of this vodka drop feel … suspiciously perfect.

“At Macabre Spirits, we love creating premium spirit experiences for the horror community,” Lillard says. “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.”

That partnership with Fun World, owners of the Ghost Face copyright and trademark, is what makes this officially legit—and not just another novelty bottle riding on nostalgia.

What’s in the Bottle (Besides Terror)

Strip away the mask and the marketing, and Ghost Face Vodka is a surprisingly serious spirit.

It’s a 100% German potato vodka, distilled from non-GMO potatoes and naturally gluten-free. The profile leans classic and clean, with a smooth, creamy mid-palate and a silky finish that works just as well neat as it does in a cocktail. This isn’t a gimmick vodka meant to be hidden under mixers … it’s meant to be poured with confidence.

Think less jump scare, more slow burn.

Love at First Slash: The Killer Collection

Where things really get fun is the launch format. Ghost Face Vodka debuts as a limited-time collectible set, and Macabre Spirits clearly understood the assignment.

Inside the GFV Killer Collection, you’ll find:

• A striking, multi-faceted Italian glass bottle with premium tactile labeling
• A hand-signed autograph from Matthew Lillard on every bottle (once they’re gone, they’re gone)
• A sleek, limited-edition collector’s box
• Exclusive Ghost Face Vodka pins and custom glassware only available in this set
• A QR code linking to GFV Killer Bash, a new social party game created just for this release

It’s part spirits release, part horror memorabilia drop … and it’s very aware of its audience.

How to Get Your Hands on It

The Ghost Face Vodka Collectible Set goes on sale direct-to-consumer only at GhostFaceVodka.com starting February 9, 2026. The all-in price is $160, which includes the signed bottle, collector’s box, glassware, pins, and shipping straight to your door.

Given the limited run and the autographs, this is one of those releases that will likely disappear faster than a babysitter in Woodsboro.

For those hoping to see it on store shelves, a limited brick-and-mortar rollout is planned for later in 2026 … just in time for spooky season. Until then, patience… and maybe a good hiding spot.

If you want to be among the first to know when the knife drops, signing up for updates at GhostFaceVodka.com is probably a smart move.

Because in this case, answering the phone might actually be worth it.
