Halloween may not be the same for adults as it was when we were kids, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still have some spooky fun. If you’re not into costume parties or haunted houses, scary movies are always a great option for celebrating the holiday. And if you add some weed into the mix, you have the perfect recipe for a chill and creepy night at home. Need help choosing a strain for your movie marathon? These pairings are just for fun and not based on matching the post-consumption experience with the type of movie you’ll be watching. Instead, these strains will help you relax and enhance the entertainment factor.
“It” + Pennywise
Whether you’re watching the original or the remake, there are plenty of moments in this movie that will make you glad you chose a high-CBD indica to calm your nerves. Plus, it’s pretty cool to smoke a strain with the same name as the main character of the movie you’re watching.
“The Shining” + Jack the Ripper
Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance in this classic film about a family’s disturbing winter at a hotel in Colorado. This energizing sativa is a good choice to keep you and your friends upbeat during slower parts of the movie.
“The Hunger” + Blood Orange Kush
Bust out this oldie but goodie where David Bowie plays an ageless vampire on the hunt for fresh blood. This movie is more eerie than scary, and the paired strain will keep you relaxed and feeling good with the slow pace of the film.
“Carrie” + Killer Queen
Mean teens, lots of blood, and a nightmare prom? Check. This film, adapted from a Stephen King novel, is just as creepy now as it was in the ’70s. The hybrid strain will keep you energized and relaxed as you watch the movie.
“A Nightmare on Elm Street” + Sweet Dreams
Wes Craven’s classic horror movie will make you never want to fall asleep again thanks to Freddy Krueger’s disturbing appearances in people’s dreams. This creeper strain will keep you relaxed during the movie and help you get a good night’s sleep without the nightmares.
“Psycho” + 3x Crazy
Considered one of the best psychological horror movies of all time, this film will keep you on the edge of your seat. The 3x Crazy strain will help you relax and enhance the movie-watching experience.
So grab some snacks, roll a joint, and get ready for a spooky and chill Halloween movie night.
