7 Horror Movies To Watch While High This Halloween

Admit it… some movies are just far too scary to watch—if you aren’t high. While some of us choose a light comedy to watch after smoking a bowl, others prefer a classic slasher.

The heightened sensory perception that comes with consuming cannabis is key to truly elevating the cinematic experience. And when Halloween comes around, you simply have no excuse to skip out on the jump scares and the terrifying storylines that some of the best horror flicks of all time have to offer.

So, invite your friends over, bust out the pre-rolls and edibles (don’t forget the popcorn) and keep reading to discover the seven best horror movies to watch while high!

The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

Rating: 💀💀💀💀

There’s a reason that The Silence of the Lambs became the fifth-highest grossing film of 1991 and the only horror film to win “Best Picture” at the Academy Awards—it’s just that magnificently creepy for horror buffs.

It revolves around an FBI agent chasing down a serial killer who skins his victims. We don’t mean to spoil things for you, but it features a severed head in a jar, a graphic disembowelment scene, and suits made of human skin—you were warned!

Poltergeist (1982)

Rating: 💀💀💀💀

One sure-fire way to make you feel terrified of being left alone in the house is by watching the 1982 flick Poltergeist written by Steven Spielberg. 

Follow the adventures of sinister ghosts as they attempt to kidnap and devour the Freeling family’s three children. It’s one of the best horror movies to watch while high—you’ll get a real jumpscare out of the spine-chilling limbs that materialize out of nowhere and just grab people.

Train To Busan (2016)

Rating: 💀💀💀

If psychopaths and poltergeists aren’t your cup of tea, then what about zombies?

This South Korean action-horror film raked in prestigious awards from all over the globe and reigns supreme as one of the most unique and heart-racing zombie flicks of all time. It follows the story of a father and his young daughter, a high school baseball team, and a pregnant couple fighting for survival in a train after a zombie apocalypse spreads across the country. 

Get ready to scream, cry, and sharpen your zombie-fighting skills (you know—just in case). 

The Ring (2002) 

Rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

You’ll probably never look at your TVs, VHS tapes, wells, or horses the same way ever again after this one—but all is worth it for the best horror movies to watch while high. 

The Ring is all about people mysteriously dying seven days after watching a cursed VHS tape. The eerie little girl with long black hair and a disfigured face crawling out of a TV will—unfortunately—live in your head rent-free.

The Shining (1980) 

Rating: 💀💀💀💀

The Shining is a psychological horror flick that’s shimmering with disturbing scenes—which is why it’s among the top horror movies to watch while high.

This story plays out in a haunted hotel where many murders have taken place and various ghosts loom. Jack Torrance, played by Jack Nicholson, becomes the caretaker of this hotel and his family moves into the building. Soon enough, Jack becomes deranged and horrifying scenes of him attempting to murder his family follow. There will be hair-raising ghosts, axe chases, and terrifying mazes in this movie.

If you’ve already seen this one, you have to watch the sequel, Doctor Sleep.

Host (2020) 

Rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

This computer screen supernatural horror film teaches the world one thing: it’s probably best not to attempt a seance. 

Host tells the story of a group of friends who perform a virtual seance during one of their Zoom calls in a pandemic era—which results in them summoning a demonic spirit that terrorizes each of them in their homes. Do not watch this alone.

Eyes Without A Face (1960) 

Rating: 💀💀💀💀💀

If you’re into the classics, then this French-language film from the 1960s should definitely make it to your list of horror movies to watch while high. 

Eyes Without A Face revolves around a mad plastic surgeon who, in search of the right match, kidnaps women to steal their faces so he can transplant them onto his daughter, who was disfigured in a car accident. Yikes.
