Ghost Face Vodka adds Blood Orange flavour alongside national retail expansion

Horror-focused spirits brand Macabre Spirits has revealed its first flavoured spirit, Ghost Face Vodka Blood Orange, alongside a nationwide retail expansion into Total Wine & More stores across the United States. The launch builds on the brand’s debut in February, moving the product from limited online allocations directly onto American high street shelves. Co-founded by actor Matthew Lillard in partnership with Easter Unlimited’s Fun World division, the label pairs the licensed slasher iconography of Scream with potato-based spirits distilling.

The rollout marks a major operational change for parent outfit Find Familiar Spirits, taking the company beyond its established direct-to-consumer model. Following the retail release in early September, Macabre Spirits will also release an online-only Ghost Face Blood Orange Killer Collection box set on 29 September. The original collector set sold out within two hours earlier this year, and this second run looks to test whether physical shelf space can match that boutique digital demand.

As covered in Geek Native’s previous coverage of Ghost Face Vodka, Matthew Lillard has spent recent years embedding himself across premium geek culture ventures. Beyond his work with Beadle & Grimm’s luxury roleplaying games boxed sets, his spirits business launched the tabletop-themed Quest’s End Whiskey before spinning out Macabre Spirits for genre collaborations.

Matthew Lillard, co-founder at Macabre Spirits, said in a statement,

Ghost Face always comes back, and the best sequels always have a twist. We’re thrilled to work with Total Wine to bring the original flavour and blood orange to stores all across the country, and to introduce even more fans to a scary-good vodka worthy of the most iconic mask in horror.”

The actor and businessman added;

We were blown away by the response to the first box, but disappointed so many of our fans weren’t able to get their hands on one. If you weren’t able to score the original, we’re confident the sequel won’t disappoint.”

Distilled from 100% non-GMO potatoes, the spirit is naturally gluten-free and processed at the company’s contract facility in Florida. To produce the flavour profile, distillers steep pressed lemons, sweet oranges, grapefruits, and blood oranges in the neutral spirit. The wash is then decanted and redistilled through a custom hybrid still. This stripping process extracts the citrus oils while leaving behind residual sugars and pigment. The result is a water-clear liquid rather than the crimson red that slasher fans might expect from the “The Sequel Is Always Bloodier” campaign line.

For international horror enthusiasts, the real nightmare remains unchanged: access. None of Find Familiar Spirits’ releases, whether Quest’s End Whiskey or Macabre Spirits’ licensed lines, are officially distributed outside the United States. Navigating the legal labyrinth of overseas spirits export, state-by-state control boards, and international alcohol duties is a genuine horror story in its own right. As with previous drops, fans in the UK, Europe, and beyond remain locked out while the US market drinks up.

The online box set goes live on 29 September via Find Familiar Spirits and Ghost Face Vodka. Matthew Lillard will also make in-person promotional appearances at select Total Wine & More locations throughout September and October.
