I’m a little late on this one, but I thought it’s too good to miss! Take This Lollypop is a short interactive horror Facebook App. Released in 2011 and written by Jason Zada, it stars actor Bill Oberst Jr. and, well… You. You probably think I don’t, and can’t mean you. But I do, it’s you.
Before I go any further, check the app out for yourself, just log in through Facebook and enjoy the ride…

But of course he isn’t, he’s an actor and this App was created by Jason to demonstrate the dangers of putting too much personal information online, the more personal information you have the more terrifyingly accurate The Facebook Stalker becomes! This proved an incredibly popular App, stacking up over 11 million ‘likes’. So popular indeed that Jason has decided to treat us with a second lick of the lolly. Take This Lollypop II is planned, but not a lot is known about it currently. Jason himself said:
“The storyline for Lollipop 2 is highly guarded, but we can guarantee that it will be a much more intense experience that the first”
I love everything about this App, from the creepy music, to the way it’s filmed and directed. Everything is perfect to set the scene, for a really creepy, but plausible story.
