Blumhouse and Cheetos Turn Snack Time Into a Nightmare in ‘Bill’s Favorite Snack’ [Watch]

Blumhouse has found a new way to make your office job terrifying. And this time, Cheetos are involved.

Writer-director Joe Grode’s five-minute short film Bill’s Favorite Snack follows an office worker whose miserable corporate routine gives way to a supernatural nightmare. It’s part of Cheetos and Blumhouse’s The Flavor of Fear collaboration, promoting the new Sweet Phantom Heat Flavored Puffs.

Jacob Staudenmaier stars as Bill, with Teresa Bascle as Janice and Joseph Lopez credited as Scary Face. Which probably tells you something about how Bill’s workday is going.

The short takes a mundane office setting and turns it into a nightmare tied to what’s waiting inside his snack bag. Watch it below.

So what exactly do Blumhouse Cheetos taste like?

According to PepsiCo’s official announcement, Sweet Phantom Heat starts with cinnamon-sugar sweetness before introducing heat, tingling, a numbing sensation, and even a subtle fizz. The sensory effects were inspired by compounds found in Sichuan pepper, with the intensity building as you keep eating.

The limited-time flavor is available now, with its nationwide retail rollout having begun August 31. You can explore the collaboration at the official Flavor of Fear website.
