Skittles’ Bite-Size Horror Short Takes an Elevator to Hell!
Earlier this week, we discovered that Mars had begun airing an ad for M&M’s that was actually a short horror film in disguise. Dubbed “bite-size horror”, the short led us to FOX.com, which also led me to believe there would be several more films rolling out through Halloween. I’ve exhausted my resources trying to find out more (like who directed them), and even noticed the first short was pulled from YouTube. While searching for an alternate embed, I stumbled across another short, one that promotes Skittles and takes an elevator trip down to hell. These two-minute films are incredibly well-made and scary, and I would love to know who is responsible for making them. Until then, let’s enjoy the viral rollout as we keep our eyes peeled for more!
Update! We’ve learned that the below short, “Floor 9.5”, was directed by Toby Meakins (Breathe, Lot 254). “Krypton” star and BAFTA winner Georgina Campbell plays the lead. James Wilkinson (Double Date) produced.
Guys… look at this awesome #BiteSizezhorror candy (@skittles) commercial

Angry Orchard Joins Forces With ‘Scream’ for Limited Edition ‘Thriller Pack’ of Hard Cider
Last year, Angry Orchard partnered up with the Jason Universe for a limited edition 12-pack of Jason-themed hard cider, a partnership that also saw the launch of the tie-in short film Sweet Revenge. This year, Angry Orchard’s Halloween collaboration is a real Scream…
Angry Orchard Hard Cider joins forces with the Scream franchise this Halloween, launching a limited release “Thriller Pack” of hard cider featuring a brand new Ghost Face flavor!
Releasing in August, the Thriller Pack from Scream and Angry Orchard features 12 cans of hard cider in total, with four different flavors that each feature fun Halloween names.
The full lineup includes…
- Caramel Apple Curse
- Headless Pumpkin
- Blood Orange
- Mystery Caller
It’s the Mystery Caller can that’s particularly special for Scream fans, as the can is emblazoned with the iconic Ghost Face mask. The mask is also featured prominently on the packaging for the Thriller Pack, which glows in the dark to make the mask pop even further.
No word yet on what the “Mystery Caller” flavor actually is, however.
Keep your eyes peeled. The Angry Orchard x Scream “Thriller Pack” is coming soon…
