鈥淪weet Revenge鈥� vignette brings Jason back into the spotlight in celebration of the iconic horror slasher鈥檚 45th anniversary
WALDEN, N.Y., Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lock the doors and stock the fridge. and Horror, Inc. partnered on a terrifying new short-form vignette titled 鈥淪weet Revenge.鈥� The 13-minute thriller, written and directed by Mike P. Nelson, spotlights two real-life fans 鈥� not actors 鈥� who have been 鈥渒illed鈥� at the hands of Jason.
Angry Orchard and Jason Universe scouted their most diehard fans on social media, offering them the opportunity of a lifetime: to travel to the filming of 鈥淪weet Revenge鈥� and take on the highly coveted roles of Jason鈥檚 next casualties. The fans were transformed into grisly victims and can be seen on-screen in the aftermath of their 鈥渄eaths鈥� 鈥� marking the first time a brand has 鈥渒illed鈥� a fan (probably).听
鈥淭his time of year, our fans are craving hard cider and a good scare,鈥� said Matt Withington, senior director of marketing at Angry Orchard, which is made by The Boston Beer Company. 鈥淏oth Angry Orchard and Jason have fiercely loyal fans, so to celebrate this collaboration, we wanted to create a moment they鈥檇 never forget 鈥� or come back from 鈥� by letting them become part of horror history. And what鈥檚 more unforgettable than coming face-to-face with the most iconic horror slasher of all time?鈥�
Calleigh Kearns, a lover of both Angry Orchard and slasher films from Barnegat, New Jersey, and Gio Contreras, a Jason Voorhees superfan and horror enthusiast from Agoura Hills, California, were selected to take part in the filming of Sweet Revenge.听听
鈥淭his is just the beginning of Jason鈥檚 return,鈥� said Robbie Barsamian, executive vice president of Horror, Inc. 鈥淧artnering with Angry Orchard helped us give fans something unexpected鈥攂ut completely in line with the franchise. It鈥檚 bold. It鈥檚 bloody. And it鈥檚 only a taste of what鈥檚 to come.鈥�
The new vignette isn鈥檛 the only sweet release in this killer collaboration: Angry Orchard is introducing a new 12-can Thriller Variety Pack, which features glow-in-the-dark packaging and four flavor-packed ciders, including a new Jason-inspired Blood Orange cider. The can artwork bears Jason鈥檚 infamous hockey mask as a tribute to the slasher legend.
Available now, the Angry Orchard Thriller Variety Pack includes three brand-new cider innovations and the return of a fan favorite:
- Blood Orange: Packed with vibrant notes of juicy apple and honeysuckle, this cider slices through ordinary orange flavor to deliver a bolder, zesty sweetness with a striking blood-red hue.
- Berry Bewitched: Tart berry is sweetened by fresh apple in this complex blend of whole blackberry, hints of elderflower and blueberry, resulting in a balanced flavor that finishes with a refreshing twist.
- Headless Pumpkin: Crisp apples meet pumpkin pie, layered with hints of vanilla ice cream and crumbly baked pie crust. This nostalgic blend rivals pumpkin spice lattes鈥攁nd even your grandmother鈥檚 pie.
- Cinnful Apple庐: This returning fan-favorite blends sweet, slightly tart apple flavor with a spicy cinnamon twist, adding a warmth perfect for the season.
As an added treat, Angry Orchard Crisp Apple single-serve cans (16oz and 24oz) are getting a seasonal makeover, too. The limited-edition design pairs Jason鈥檚 iconic hockey mask with the gnarled, twisted limbs of the Angry Orchard tree 鈥� a chilling new look for this classic favorite. Find these limited-edition cans before they鈥檙e gone at retailers nationwide, starting September 1.
