The creepy, horror themed Facebook application Take This Lollipop (starring Actor Bill Oberst Jr.) was honored Saturday with a Daytime Emmy Award win. The app was up against some stiff competition which included The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Today Show, and The Bold and the Beautiful. It won in the new Emmy category, Outstanding New Approaches In Daytime Entertainment.

"Take This Lollipop" was created, written, and directed by Jason Zada. Producers were Jason Zada, Brendan Kline, Brian Latt, and Oliver Fuselier.

Take This Lollipop stars Bill Oberst Jr. (Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies, Circus of Dread, Scary or Die) in a truly creepy performance as the “stalker guy”.

Plot Synopsis:
The interactive film first requests that viewers temporarily allow the application access to their Facebook account, and then incorporates information gleaned from the viewer's Facebook page to fill in details of the film itself.

Showing 'The Facebook Stalker' as a thin, creepy fellow, hunched over and typing at a computer keyboard, images provided from the accessed Facebook account begin to appear as the stalker types at his keyboard, and appears to search for the specific Facebook user who had granted access.

The Stalker becomes more and more agitated as he trolls through the discovered information, until he locates the home of the user, pulls up Google Maps, and finds directions to the user's home from geographic data contained in his or her profile. With the user's profile picture taped to its dashboard, the stalker is then seen driving in his car to the user's location, apparently to perform mayhem.

At the end of the film, a screen appears with an image of a red lollipop containing a razor blade. Below the image is the viewer's Facebook screenname and the name of the stalker's next victim as gleaned from the viewer's own profile.

Take This Lollipop was a huge success on Facebook, it went viral almost overnight. The app made Facebook history as the fastest growing app they have ever had, with over 70 million hits worldwide and topping out at 13 million “Likes”. It made horror actor Bill Oberst Jr. an international sensation due to his frightening performance.

Everyone at MoreHorror would like to congratulate Jason Zada, Bill Oberst Jr. and the entire team behind Take This Lollipop for their Daytime Emmy Award!
