BOO! Halloween is here again, readers! I’m not sure about you, but I cannot wait for the discount candy in November. But, until then it’s time to celebrate the scariest time of year with cannabis strain to match the creepy vibes. Anyway, without any further ado, let’s get into it!

This indica dominant hybrid is a sweet yet earthy strain with hints of grape and vanilla flavors. Created from crossing Girl Scout Cookies with Granddaddy Purple, users who have tried this strain say it is extremely euphoric and relaxing. Monster Cookies is perfect for use after watching a scary movie alone or with friends. It creates a relaxing effect that combats anxiety well. If you’re looking for a strain to calm you down, this is it. Monster Cookies might be helpful for before a haunted house, it’s so calming you might even hug a zombie... who knows?

If you’re a big cereal person, I’m sure you know the strawberry-marshmallow goodness this strain is named after. Frankenberry is a strong hybrid strain that tastes like sweet berries and diesel fumes, pretty yummy right? Seriously though, this strain is well known for its taste, it’s not as bad as it sounds. As this strain is meant to make you feel creative and happy, this might be the strain to use before pumpkin carving! Who knows, maybe if you smoke before carving you’ll make an even better spooky face! Might even win a contest or two if you enter.

Devil Driver is a sativa dominant hybrid that was created by crossing Sundae Driver with Melonade. Its flavor is cherry and melon based with hints of cream and sourness. If you find some of this be prepared for a burst of energy that will leave you refreshed and ready to go! Be warned, this strain can be potent and give some users anxiety and paranoia. I would never recommend it but I bet it would make a haunted house or scary movie even scarier! But, instead of doing that, use it during a Halloween smoke session with your friends.

With a spooky name like this, how could we not talk about Ghost Train Haze! Ghost Train Haze or GTH is an extremely potent sativa strain. That being said, if you’re a newbie, you know the rules! Take it easy and don’t do too much when first trying it out. Some have measured GTH’s THC level at nearly 30%. Its flavor isn’t as intense though, it is sweet with lemon, floral, and citrus accents. If you get this strain for Halloween, it would be best used for a game night with friends. Or, if games aren’t your style, use this strain for a movie marathon!

This indica dominant hybrid is clearly perfect for any time of October. Zombie OG, or Zombie Kush, is a strong strain created by crossing OG Kush and Blackberry. Its flavor is spicy, with notes of pine and berry, although spice is the base most report this strain to have a fruity taste. Users have said this strain made them locked in the couch with munchies so bad they ate cold cuts and shredded cheese straight out of the fridge. It’s like a lazy charcuterie with no board. For this strain, making Halloween themed desserts would be perfect! Those soft cookies with the ghosts on them? So good!

Although the new Wicked movie doesn’t come out until November, it has witches, and totally counts as a Halloween movie. That means it’s time for those of you who haven't seen the Broadway show to do it! This is the strain to watch a kind of Halloween-y musical with! If you try this strain, expect to feel uplifted, happy, and focused. Pretty Wicked’s flavor is potent, with hints of pineapple, woody, and earthy goodness. It was created by mixing Chem D and Purple Mayhem to create a sativa dominant hybrid that hits great for a night in with any vaguely Halloweeny movie.

This hybrid strain is a solid 50/50. Hell Cat is a potent strain created from Rascals’s OG and SFV OG Kush that can test at an intense 30% THC. This strain has a lemony, sweet taste with notes of pine, earth, and herbs. If you’re to use this strain, expect to feel uplifted, energetic, and focused. Since this strain helps with stress, I’d recommend it for scary movies and haunted houses. Or, if that’s not your scene, go to the pumpkin patch or the apple orchard and chill out in the cool autumn air.

If you’re big into wine, this might be the scariest strain name of them all! Rotten Rozay is a hybrid made from GMO and Rozay. It’s flavor is funky, fruity and spicy; there may be a wine pairing that goes well with this, but I’m no connoisseur. If you try this strain, be prepared for a feeling of relief, happiness, and intense focus. Those who have smoked this strain say it’s easy to get dry mouth, so keep a drink handy! For celebrating, this strain can be used in any way you feel. It’s a very versatile strain for the Halloween theme.

White Witch is a solid hybrid that has a pleasing woody, spicy, pine flavor with earthy undertones. If you’re to use this strain you should feel happy, floating, and euphoric. This is the perfect strain to use with a bunch of friends, maybe at a party, or just a typical night. It’s a solid choice for any day or night activity this month.

This punny named strain is an indica dominant hybrid that is quite the ‘killer’. Cereal Killer is a cross created by Chocolate Chunk, Deep Chunk, and Bubba Kush. Its flavor is berry, mango, and citrusy with a hint of lavender, a sweet scent for such a tough name. If you try this strain you’ll feel uplifted, happy, and focused. People say it’s a solid high that lasts for a long time. For this strain, to celebrate Halloween appropriately, this is the one to pair with ‘based on a true story’ movies or real scary documentaries.
