As one of the original stars of the Scream franchise, actor Matthew Lillard is no stranger to a sequel. So it should come as no surprise that the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 star is already releasing the second offering from his Ghost Face Vodka line, which debuted last year.

Fitting with the ghoulish theme of the Matthew Lillard and Fun World-founded brand, the newest release is Ghost Face Vodka Blood Orange. A description of the new vodka reveals that it “was handcrafted at the company’s facility in Florida, where silky-smooth vodka was infused with pressed lemons, oranges, grapefruits and blood orange.”

This small-but-mighty flask from High Camp recently underwent a bit of a revamp thanks to its new one-press flip lid. With its double-wall insulation, it’s ideal for enjoying a nicely chilled spirit of your choice or pouring some into your favorite cocktail.

At the top of 2023, Lee visited Frankensons, a family-owned restaurant in Las Vegas, Nevada that was struggling to pay rent. He paid for his own meal and reviewed the items he ordered at the pizzeria in a viral TikTok video that would quickly become “life-changing” for Frankensons.

For a limited time only, diners can indulge in two new, Halloween-inspired sips from Applebee’s: Dracula’s Juice and Tipsy Zombie. They’re both on the fruity side, and with the Tipsy Zombie, the drink is topped with gummi brains for a fun garnish. Depending on the Applebee’s location you visit, you can also purchase a vibe drop shot for either drink.
