Twisted Coffee<\/a>, a new shop with horror film-inspired drinks and decor, opened earlier this month near Jin Sushi. The walls feature nods to classic horror movies, like Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th to name a few.<\/p>\nKBFX<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Owner Katelyn Marsh said the concept grew out of her family\u2019s love of horror films.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve always been a big horror family. We’ve always loved watching movies such as Halloween, Scream, all the classics,\u201d Marsh said. \u201cAnd I just wanted to bring something different to Bakersfield that was like something everyone can enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Among the shop\u2019s offerings are dirty sodas, including one called \u201cIt\u2019s Alive,\u201d made with Sprite, green apple syrup and sweet cream. Marsh said many of the dirty sodas contain dairy, but they can be made without it, and customers can also customize drinks with flavors such as peach or strawberry.<\/p>\n
Another drink, \u201cRotten to the Core,\u201d combines caramel syrup and green apple with lemonade for what Marsh described as a candy apple flavor meant to give \u201cHalloween vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI came up with a name,\u201d Marsh said. \u201cUm, I just thought it’d be so cute. Get like a little like family-friendly spooky option on there and very scary. Just sounds super cute to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
