Are you ready to get scared? We’ve already compiled some of the best no-so-scary and scary Halloween movies to celebrate the Halloween season. Now, it’s time to delve into the realm of the ultra-terrifying with a list of the best really scary Halloween movies. This list is not for the faint of heart. So, reader beware…you’re in for a scare!

Sinister

Starting our list of the best really scary Halloween movies strong, we have Sinister. This movie follows true-crime writer Ellison Oswalt as he and his family move into a new home. His wife and kids don’t know, but Ellison moved them into this home because it’s where the late Stevenson family was killed by hanging. His goal is to write a biography about the case and learn the fate of 10-year-old Stephanie Stevenson, who disappeared after the murders.

While exploring the attic, Ellison discovers a box containing a projector and film reels. After starting the projector, he discovers each film contains footage of brutal murders. He also notes that each film contains a mysterious cultic symbol and a strange, eerie figure lurking in the background. As Ellison ties each film to reported murder cases, he tries to unravel the mystery of these tapes.

As Ellison attempts to uncover the mystery behind these gruesome murders, we think you should smoke some Mystery Haze. Mystery haze is a pure sativa that backcrosses Hazy Kush with itself. If you’re a fan of the haze family or just love a great heady high, you’ll love this strain. The Mystery Haze high starts with a light tingly effect in the back of your brain. As this feeling takes hold, you’ll feel lifted into a state of unfocused happy energy. Soon, you’ll feel a deep sense of relaxation wash over your body while still remaining energized. In terms of flavor, this strain has a classic spicy haze flavor with a sweet tropical fruit taste on the exhale. The aroma is very fragrant with notes of sweet tropical fruit that’s accented by notes of spicy grapes and earthy pine.

The Conjuring

Up next on our list of the best really scary Halloween movies is The Conjuring. The Conjuring follows a family as they move into a new home in Rhode Island. Before they even enter their new home, the family dog Sadie refuses to go inside. Within the first few nights in their new home, the family is subjected to a series of paranormal occurrences. Every clock in the house stops at precisely 3:07am, the mother Carolyn wakes up with new bruises each morning, and the family dog is found dead in the yard. Following these events, Carolyn decides to contact renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren for help. Soon, things take a turn for the worse as their investigation only escalates the paranormal activity in the home.

Supernatural

As this family seeks to understand the supernatural occurrences in their new home, we think you should be smoking some Supernatural. Supernatural is a slightly sativa-dominant hybrid that crosses Grape God with The Flav. As a result of this cross, Supernatural boasts a high THC concentration averaging around 22%. The high from this strain can be insanely uplifting with a boost of cerebral energy. You may find that this cerebral head rush leaves you feeling more motivated and focused. As the high builds, you’ll soon find it coming down as you’re lulled into a slumber. In terms of flavor, this strain tastes like a spicey grape with hints of citrus and skunky diesel. The smell is almost identical with a pungent kick.

Lights Out

Another great pick on our list of the best really scary Halloween movies is Lights Out. The story starts as a textile worker says goodbye to her boss Paul. When she turns out the lights, she notices the silhouette of a strange woman looking at her from the doorway. Upon noticing this woman, the worker turns the lights back on to reveal that nobody is there. Once she leaves, her boss Paul also encounters this strange figure. He tries to run away and locks himself in his office, but is killed once the lights go out. Soon, Paul’s family is haunted by shadowy figures in the dark.

While watching Light’s Out, we think you should smoke the strain of the same name. Lights Out is a rare evenly evenly-balanced hybrid strain with unknown genetics. The high starts with a slow rise into an uplifted state of happiness as you begin to feel a bit giggly. You may even feel more social and creative. In terms of flavor, this strain tastes like a spicey banana with a sweet earthy taste on the exhale. The aroma is much more pungent, with that same spicey banana note alongside a heavy smell of diesel and savory earth.

Grave Encounters

Last, but certainly not least on our list of the best really scary Halloween movies is Grave Encounters. This film follows the production of the Ghost Advtentures-esque paranormal reality show Grave Encounters as they set off to explore an abandoned asylum. In traditional ghost-hunting fashion, the crew lock themselves in the hospital for the night and begin their investigation. Everything appears to be pretty par for the course to begin with, but things soon take a dark turn as their encounters become more and more frightening.

Crazy Cookies

As these ghost hunters explore an abandoned asylum riddled with crazy ghosts, we think you should smoke some Crazy Cookies. Crazy Cookies is an indica-dominant strain that crosses OG Kush with Girl Scout Cookies. The high from this strain starts with a rush of heady effects that will leave you feeling happily unfocused. As your mind becomes more and more hazy, your body will begin to fall into deep relaxation. This relaxation soon becomes sedative and you may find yourself locked to the couch. In terms of flavor, this strain tastes sour and nutty with rich notes of spicey flowers and earth. The aroma is similar, exuding smells of pungent earth, spicey fruit, and fresh nutty pine.
