Skip the tricks and treat yourself to these scary strains on Halloween.
October 31st is just around the corner, and we know you boos and ghouls are ready to smoke your way through All Hallow’s Eve. To make Halloween night and Halloweekend even more enjoyable, we put together this list of strains ideal for putting the final touches on your costume, hosting a séance, staying home to watch scary movies, or creating your best jack-o-lantern yet.
Whatever your plans are for celebrating the spookiest time of year, check out these scary strains to help you have a wicked good time.
Ghost OG
Boo! Don’t worry; there’s nothing scary about this popular strain. Ghost OG (aka Ghost OG Kush) is a hybrid with relaxing effects and a citrusy profile. With this strain in your pipe, you’ll be vibing in no time. It makes the perfect excuse to throw on some white sheets with friends and have a ghostly photoshoot or film a ghoulish TikTok. If you can’t find Ghost OG near you, look for its spooky offspring, Ghost Train Haze.
Durban Poison
The popular sativa Durban Poison sounds scary and can definitely bring on The Fear in novices. But skilled smokers know the only thing that should be afraid of the energetic Durban Poison is your filthy floorboards. You’re going to be down there scrubbing for hours.
Jealousy
There are few things in life scarier than unchecked jealousy, envy, and covetousness. Luckily, this weed strain is just a really nice Gelato, and there’s plenty to go around. Surrender worldly attachments with Jealousy.
Gary Satan
Gary Payton and Jealousy combine in this Tiki Madman cross. This is exotic cookies hype with a spooky name from one of the best in the game.
Devil Driver
Devil Driver’s a really popular Melonade x Sundae Driver with a gorgeous color and tasty aroma. Tiki Madman is running wild with the gothic strain names (see: Gary Satan).
Alien OG
It’s hard to get more classic than Alien OG, a popular cross of Tahoe OG and Alien Kush. We’re talking gassy, piney green bud that’s perfect for any film or trick-or-treating.
White Widow
This famous 90s icon is a scream queen on the caliber of Sidney Prescott. Powerful, energetic, and especially suited for relief in stressful situations, like when the call is coming from inside the house.
Pennywise
Not just a scary clown in the sewer, but a popular healing, CBD-rich cultivar. Pennywise is Harlequin and Jack the Ripper, and would probably help keep you calm in a scary film.
Red Runtz
Red Runtz! Red Runtz! Red Runtz! I think that bit would go over well at a Halloween party, and the strain’s sugar candy and soda pop terp profile is about as Halloween-friendly as it gets.
Dante’s Inferno
The threat of eternal damnation is pretty primal and fearful. But it’s a plaything in the hands of breeder Tiki Madman, maker of Dante’s Inferno. Oooze (formerly Oreoz) and Devil Driver combine in this hit, hype flavor.
Garlic Breath
Keep yourself safe from threats of a Vampiric nature and enjoy unapologetic, pungent, savory-funk terps all at once.
Hell Raiser OG
Fire OG and Face Off OG combine for Hell Raiser OG, which is still probably more fun than the films of the same name.
