Ghostface calls Sarah Michelle Gellar in new Scream ad
There are some ghosts that refuse to stay buried, and one of the most enduring of these is Ghostface. More than 25 years after her iconic role in Scream 2, Sarah Michelle Gellar is once again answering the call, bringing the legendary killer back into the spotlight for a festive Halloween celebration.
The iconic actress has teamed up with Angry Orchard for a fun, nostalgic 60-second commercial, marking another delightful horror franchise collaboration. In the ad, Gellar receives a familiar phone call from Ghostface, instantly transporting viewers back into the world of slasher cinema for a playful holiday spot.
This heartwarming encounter is part of Angry Orchard’s wider collaboration with the Scream franchise, which includes a special 2026 Thriller Pack. This limited edition set features four hard cider flavors themed around horror, including Caramel Apple Curse, Headless Pumpkin, Blood Orange, and the star attraction, Mystery Caller.
The Mystery Caller flavor is clearly the centerpiece, featuring the famous Ghostface mask. Adding to the spooky appeal, the entire Thriller Pack comes in packaging that glows in the dark, ensuring that the mask shines even brighter in the night.
Beyond the cider pack, Angry Orchard is also offering limited-edition 19.2-ounce cans of Crisp Apple and Imperial, both featuring Ghostface, solidifying the brand’s commitment to spooky season fun.
This latest partnership joins a storied history of horror collaborations for the cider company. Angry Orchard has previously teamed up with the Friday the 13th franchise and Horror, Inc. on projects like Sweet Revenge, a short film that brought Jason Voorhees back to life. This history shows a knack for creating genuinely thrilling and engaging experiences.
While the current Scream campaign might be shorter than its predecessors, the focus remains squarely on that wonderfully spooky reunion. Sarah Michelle Gellar’s playful interaction with Ghostface reminds fans that some legends, like the slasher icon, are always ready for another scare.
