The 8 Best Weed Strains for a Spooky Halloween

Trick or treating might be out for you, but you can still have some fun
that is equal parts cool and creepy. Scary movies are always an easy go-to
for celebrating Halloween as an adult without feeling like you’re missing
out on anything — especially if you’re not really into the idea of costume
parties or haunted house attractions. And if you add some weed into the
equation, you have the beginnings of a perfectly content night at home.
Need some help picking out a strain for your movie marathon?

These particular strain pairings are just for the fun of the holiday and
not at all based on matching the post-consumption experience with the type
of movie you’ll be watching…. which is a good thing. It’s probably not a
good idea to try to intentionally smoke strains that will mirror the
potential fear and paranoia of watching a scary movie. Instead, these
strains will mellow you out, help you chill and just add to the
entertainment factor.
“It” + Pennywise

Whether you choose the original (which you should) or the remake, there are
lots of moments when you’ll be glad you went for a high-CBD indica to calm
your nerves. Plus, seriously, what’s more peak stoner than smoking a strain
that is the exact same name as the main character of the movie you’re
watching? Like, really, just pat yourself on the back for this one.
“The Shining” + Jack the Ripper

Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance in this classic film about a family’s
weird and disturbing winter at a hotel in Colorado. This energizing sativa might
be a good choice to help keep you and your friends upbeat during some of
the more slow or meandering parts of the movie where you could lose
interest. Instead, you guys can giggle your way through until the next
scare.
“The Hunger” + Blood Orange Kush

Bust out this oldie but goodie where the iconic David Bowie plays an
ageless but still somehow relatively youthful vampire on the hunt for fresh
blood. This movie is definitely more eerie than downright scary and the
paired strain works well with keeping you relaxed and feeling good with the
calm, methodical pace of the movie.
“Carrie” + Killer Queen

Mean teens, hella blood and a nightmare prom? Check. Though this film
adapted from a Stephen King novel was made back in the ’70s, it’s still
just as creepy now as it was then. You can expect lots of cerebral effects
with this hybrid strain that will keep you feeling energized as your body
settles into deep relaxation.
“A Nightmare on Elm Street” + Sweet Dreams

Wes Craven did a pretty good job at making people never want to fall asleep
again thanks to the disturbing and frequent appearances by Freddy Krueger
in their dreams and waking life. This creeper strain is good for lasting
through the movie and getting you nice and relaxed for a good night’s sleep
— minus the nightmares.
“Psycho” + 3x Crazy

Considered one of the best psychological horror movies of all time, this
movie is home to the infamous shower scene that has been copied and
parodied since its introduction in 1960. Pairing a nice indica strain with
this film will have you feeling zenned out and comfortably relaxed even
through all the screeching.
“Night of the Living Dead” + Zombie OG

Take a break from your “Walking Dead” marathon and throw on this classic
movie all about the undead feeding on those still living. As the name
suggests, this strain is super potent and will have you feeling heavily
sedated. It’s great for a late-night solo smoke where you have every
intention of falling asleep right afterward.
“The Exorcist” + Holy Ghost

This strain is good for stress and anxiety which could help you keep your
cool during an intense, high-stakes movie about clearing a kid of demon
possession. And to help with the residual trauma, Holy Ghost is good for a
mood boost that can help you shake that lingering sinister feeling.
