Your Guide to the Ultimate Halloween Night In
Halloween is the perfect holiday to stay inside, get cozy, and watch scary movies with your favorite snacks by your side. Add some fresh weed to the mix (it’s Croptober season!) and you’re looking at the best Halloween ever. Whether you’re staying in for a solo night or plan to spend the holiday with friends, we’ve put together a guide to the ultimate Halloween night in.
You’ll need plenty of food and snacks, beverages, and a selection of scary movies to create the best Halloween night in. Also consider festive candles and decor, spooky games, candy, and of course, weed.
Our Costa Mesa dispensary team are experts at transforming a night spent inside the house into memorable fun. Here’s what we recommend this holiday, after you stop by our Captain’s Crypt Halloween event, of course.
Prepare plenty of food and drinks for a Halloween night in
You’re going to need your strength for the spooky night ahead, so be sure to plan your food and beverage options accordingly.
If you’re someone who likes to get creative with your cooking, there are endless Halloween-themed foods to choose from. We are particularly fond of mummy hot dogs and mac-o-lantern and cheese bowls. Picking a themed Halloween dinner to make can help you get in the spirit for the night.
But if you’re not in the mood to cook a Halloween-themed meal, don’t sweat it. Halloween is the perfect night to order a pizza or build a charcuterie board of your favorite snacks.
And for this Halloween night in, you’re going to want snacks. Think about what your high, munchy-self might want. Stock up on the potato chips, dips, popcorn, cookies, candy, drinks, and any other goodies you’ll want to accompany your night in.
Our pairing picks: Take a dab of cold cure rosin from HAVE HASH or smoke a Nasha Altitude hash-infused pre-roll AFTER you cook. Don’t cook under the influence.
Select several scary movies for your Halloween night in
In our opinion, there are two ways to do scary movies for Halloween. The first is to passively have a scary movie on in the background as you do other activities. The second is to pick a scary movie you want to actively watch, surrounded by snacks and blankets.
We recommend doing both. Put on a classic (think Night of the Living Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th) while you cook or as you work on other tasks. If friends are coming over, you can also have a scary movie in the background while they arrive or while you play card or board games. If you’re looking for a fun Halloween board game, consider Betrayal at House on the Hill.
Then, once you’re ready for movie night, put on a scary movie you want to actively sit and watch. Make sure you have plenty of snacks and drinks beside you, as well as a cozy supply of blankets and pillows.
Our pairing picks: Sip on fast-acting Cann beverages or smoke a 710 Labs infused pre-roll as you watch the movie.
Set the mood for your Halloween night in
Whether you’re spending Halloween night solo or with friends, the best way to have a fun night spent inside is to lean into the holiday spirit. So make sure you set the mood just right to make the rest of the evening fall into place.
Focus on lighting to set the mood. You can light several candles and turn the lights off to create a spooky atmosphere, or just turn on a few lamps with the rest of the lights turned down low. String lights around the house make for a great Halloween movie night environment, too. If you have colored light bulbs, now’s the time to bust out the purple, reds, greens, and oranges.
One of the key pillars to a good Halloween night spent inside is comfort. So make sure you set up your space to be comfortable and cozy. If you’re going to play games, add some cushions to the seating and make sure there’s enough wiggle room. And for movie nights, pillows and blankets are key. The fluffier and cozier you can make your viewing space, the better.
Best weed products for a Halloween night in
Beyond the product pairings we already listed, here are some of our favorite product picks for a Halloween night in:
Pabst High Soda Pop
What goes well with popcorn, chips, and candy? You guessed it, soda pop. We love the Pabst High Soda Pops because they strike a balance of nostalgia and potency. These fast-acting beverages contain 25 mg of THC per container, making them perfect for an experienced edibles user or for folks who want to share.
If you want a lower-potency option from Pabst, we have High Seltzers at 10 mg per can available at our Orange County dispensary, too.
Plus Uplift Sour Watermelon Gummies
These sweet and sour gummies are the perfect pair for a Halloween night in. Made with solventless rosin and coming in at just 5 mg of THC per piece, lower tolerance users can enjoy one while high tolerance users can munch as many as they like. Vegan, gluten free, and with uplifting effects, these fit right in for any Halloween night plans.
HAVE HASH Dark Matter
If there is ever a time to dab cold cure rosin called “dark matter,” it’s Halloween. We love all of the concentrates from this brand, but find the Dark Matter option to be particularly fitting for Halloween celebrations. At roughly 74% THC, this rosin is guaranteed to have you flying high just in time for scary movies.
