Best Horror Movies to Watch High

If you are smoking, you know that some movies are much more fun to watch when you’re high. Films full of big ideas, excellent music, and artistic visuals are the ones Jane turns to after smoking. For those who dare treat themselves to a strange trip of thrills, chills, laughs and some seriously dank visuals, here is a list of horror movies to watch high this HalloWEED!

1. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2

The comedic take on the psychopathic, killer-hillbilly family is sure to have you sitting on the edge of your seat. With heavy-metal visuals and slapstick gore, it’s funny, frenetic, grotesque and it has a chainsaw battle with Leatherface. Do yourself a favour, light a blunt and watch this thing.

2. Mandy

Make no mistake, Mandy is a film for stoners. Need a film to prove Nicolas Cage is a good actor? This is one of them, he lives up to his standard as a lumberjack whose wife is kidnapped by a cult in the woods. Sit back and watch the heavy-metal journey full of neon colours, blood and vengence with psychedelic animated images. It amounts to the dankest, trippiest, most metal cinematic terror, perfect for pairing with a good smoke.

3. The Shining

Wake, bake and watch The Shining on Halloween. It is an endless maze of images and ideas – both gorgeous and terrifying – that practically begs for multiple high viewings.

4. One (or all) of the OG Universal Monster Movies

The Mummy, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Creature from the Black Lagoon – take your pick. Practically every film from Universal’s classic monster lineup is in light, shadow and mood. Watch a few of these in company with your dab rig and they are sure to wow the stoned viewer with some of the greatest black-and-white films. They also run short, so if your high mind is prone to wandering, it is a worthwhile time lift.

5. Suspiria

If you’re afraid of getting a little too paranoid watching these spooky thrillers while high, Suspiria is the movie for you. The film itself is a visual masterpiece. The lighting sets the mood in every scene, and the music sets the perfect balance between dramatic, eerie and beautiful. It surely won’t ruin your high, and smoking a little bit before will make it even better.

6. Midsommar

Okay, this film might not be for everyone when you’re smoking weed… But it definitely isn’t your typical horror movie. It bends so many conventions while be terrifying, and trippy as hell. However, the visual effects and the synchronicity between all characters are great to watch when baked.

7. Cabin in the Woods

A good self-aware horror film that pokes fun at stereotypical horror tropes… Playing on the classic horror movie tropes, a group of friends head for a weekend at a cabin in the woods, but this is no ordinary cabin and no ordinary horror movie.

Such a smart and funny script that spoofs horror movies taking place in the woods. It is sure to keep your buzz energetic and on the edge of your seat.

9. The Evil Dead (Original)

Evil Dead is an all time classic. The original is honestly very goofy, grab a group of friends, smoke up and it’s sure to get you giggling. It’s the first movie in a wonderful series of films, delightfully excessive in its blood and gore.

10. Club Dread

The directors of Super Trooper do their classic movie take on horror. This horror movie is made for stoners. Light a bowl, grab the popcorn, snacks, and drinks. Pull up a chair and get ready to laugh.

11. Titane

12. Troll 2

Sometimes after smoking, all you want is a good laugh. This “horror” movie is sure to keep you in the Halloween spirit, but will definitely get those giggles flowing.
