Strain: Cookie Monster

Movie: Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

What’s Halloween without a few monsters in the mix? Cookie Monster is an indica strain whose strong, sweet scent fits nicely with the bag of treats you decide to munch on during your horror binge. While the relaxing and mellow effects of this strain work their way through your body, pop in a monster movie classic like Creature from the Black Lagoon. When the beast creeps out of the depths of the water, the calming nature of Cookie Monster will keep your heebie jeebies at bay!

Strain: Ghost OG Kush

Movie: The Poltergeist (1982)

Ghosts and ghouls are known to stick around and the same can be said for Tobe Hooper and Steven Spielberg’s cult classic, The Poltergeist. Few things are scarier than a group of demons sucking children into another dimension. Hybrid bud, Ghost OG Kush, will leave you glued to your seat during this film. If you’re looking to run from the eerie scenes of The Poltergeist, it might be best to just cover your eyes.

Strain: Zombie OG

Movie: Night of the Living Dead (1968)

Before there were virus epidemics and scientific mishaps, there was the simple yet equally scary—corpses risen from the grave. Throwback with an OG movie and an OG strain to pay tribute to the great zombie films of the past. A hit from Zombie OG just may have its consumers feeling like the living dead too, minus the desire to eat human flesh of course.

Strain: Frankenberry

Movie: Frankenstein (1931)

The fruity aromas of the Frankenberry strain will resurrect your childhood memories of the strawberry-flavored cereal of the same name. Inspired by the science-fiction horror that is the original Frankenstein film, the neon green hybrid will awaken your senses, keeping you alert for each suspenseful scene.

Strain: Jack Skellington

Movie: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

Just as Tim Burton’s creative masterpiece transports viewers into a world utterly unique, the Jack Skellington wax serves its consumers a meditative and imaginative state of mind that goes hand in hand with the colorful nature of this renowned stop-motion animation. Not to mention, the songs and frivolity of The Nightmare Before Christmas will give you a pleasant break from the back to back thrills and chills of the other films.

Strain: Alien OG

Movie: Alien (1979)

Unlike the extraterrestrials in this motion picture, Alien OG comes in peace offering its consumers citrus grove scents and muscle relaxation. While viewers are visually sent to outer space during this killer thriller, their body will follow in a physical sensation that’s out of this world.

Strain: Jack the Ripper

Movie: Ripper (2001)

The serial killer theme tends to run amuck during the Halloween season, which is all the more reason to stick to the trend by adding the Jack the Ripper strain on your list of buds to try. Pair it with the 2001 murder mystery, Ripper, to keep your adrenaline running.

Strain: Diablo OG Kush

Movie: Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

The devil’s temptation can be hard to resist. However, there’s no need to stay away from the tangy-tasting hybrid of Diablo OG Kush, especially on Halloween Night. Combining this strain with the satanic nightmare that is Rosemary’s Baby will keep you uplifted even in Rosemary’s darkest moments.

Strain: Freddy Krueger OG

Movie: Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Watching this movie late at night might deter you away from sleeping with the lights off, but we promise this Freddy Krueger won’t be running around in your dreams. Covered in rich shades of red and green, Freddy Krueger OG is perfect match to lose yourself in this classic feature film.
