High Frights: Your Guide to a Spooky Movie Night

Scary movies, good snacks, and a little something from The Reef.

October is officially here, which means it's time to dim the lights, break out the blankets, and queue up your favorite scary movies. Whether you're a die-hard horror fan or someone who watches through their fingers, there's something special about a spooky movie night when the weather starts getting colder.

We've rounded up some of our favorite ways to make the most of the season, complete with movie recommendations and a few October deals from the Reef that are worth sinking your teeth into.

What's Your Horror Movie Vibe?

Not all scary movies are created equal. Some leave you sleeping with the lights on, while others are more about laughs than screams. The trick is knowing what kind of night you're in the mood for.

For the horror lightweight:

If you prefer your Halloween movies with more laughs than nightmares, classics like Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, and The Addams Family are always a good call. They're spooky enough to get into the Halloween spirit without making you question every noise in your house afterward.

The Reef pairing: Keeping the scares light? Keep your edible dose light, too! Mr. Moxey's Mints are 30% off this October and come in low-dose options that are perfect for adults who prefer a more measured approach. Check the THC content on the package, start low, and give yourself plenty of time before considering another.

For the jump-scare junkie:

If you live for that moment when the entire room screams at once, Scream, The Conjuring, and Sinister should do the trick. Just don't blame us if you start checking behind the shower curtain.

The Reef pairing: For experienced consumers who already know their preferences, MindMelt and BFF are both 30% off this month. Puff on their selections before the opening credits roll, and keep in mind that cannabis can make frightening movies feel more intense.

For the cult-classic crowd:

Some horror movies are so ridiculous, weird, or wonderfully over-the-top that they're impossible not to love. Idle Hands, Shaun of the Dead, and Tucker & Dale vs. Evil deliver the perfect combination of laughs, chaos, and questionable decision-making.

The Reef pairing: Keep it classic with Torus, 20% off this October. Check out their flower and pre-roll selection for your next movie-night lineup.
