6 Horror Movies to Watch When High

by Kathy D

There’s one thing that we can all agree about in life. It’s that few things are as satisfying as getting high from weed and watching horror movies. Movies and weed go together like hot chocolate and marshmallows.

It’s the perfect movie to watch in an ideal setting that can turn regular vaping of various vaping liquid flavors into a real party.

You might then wonder the reason one would watch a horror movie when high. Cannabis can make you paranoid. In most cases, we cannot do without this paranoia.

However, watching a scary horror movie can make the experience more exciting even if you don’t feel paranoid; watching them when high is the best way to spend your spooky night. And there are various scientific reasons watching movies is good for you. It can bring positive emotional effects on your body.

Therefore, if you’re looking for something spooky to watch, here are six horror movies to watch when high.

1. Us

People say that we all have a doppelgänger—someone who looks exactly like us. What if they ended up not being the nicest of people? The movie Us focuses on this concept.

Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke star as the father and mother of a family confronted by horrific doppelgangers. This creepy mystery will leave you wondering what’s going on.

The Wilson family visits the beachfront house in which Adelaide Wilson grew up. Because of a traumatic experience that haunts Adelaide since childhood, she becomes increasingly confident that something horrible will happen if she stays at the house any longer.

Upon finding four strangers in masks outside the Wilson home, her fear comes true, forcing the Wilsons to fight for their lives. It horrified them to discover the attackers look exactly like each other when they remove the masks.

One of the best horror movies to watch when high is this movie, which is psychedelic in all the right ways.

2. The Smiling Man

The Smiling Man’s tale is a first-person movie about a person who regularly goes for late-night strolls solo. At night, when the author is alone, a tall, thin man approaches him with an impossibly wide smile, walking in a half-dance, half-walk way.

As you read this, less than a fifteen-word description can send chills down your spine. A little girl is left alone at home, and evil confronts her. In this movie, you’ll encounter events that happen in an ordinary household, and you’ll still feel apprehensive about walking down the hall of your house, passing the dark and silent room.

Though you may think it is fake, when you are high, everything feels heightened, which makes it difficult to calm down. The story revolves around a little girl! As a result, it is more challenging. We hope you succeed in watching this one.

3. Hush

This movie is something you should check out if you get paranoid about smoking weed. Your classic home invasion slasher, though with a twist: the protagonist is deaf and mute.

Not only does the movie add layers of anxiety, but it will have you regularly monitoring the locks on your windows and doors. However, there’s evidence using weed can help you relieve your anxiety.

Hush is a jittery horror film full of matters we’ve seen already but can never get sufficient. Plus, it involves a kick-ass heroine, a terrifying premise, and a spooky stalker in a white mask.

4. Get Out

What could be more enjoyable than getting high while watching a psychological thriller? Racial prejudice is scary, of course. The movie Get Out doesn’t explore blatant, obvious racism like burning crosses, lynchings, or snarling hate.

Its goal is instead to make us feel that racism, which seems aggressively unscary, is indeed horrific through a visceral, bodily experience. Its best parts are how to Get Out takes a topic that is often seen as cerebral and transforms it into something you feel inside. In addition, it exhibits a wicked sense of humor.

Rose invites Chris for a weekend getaway with Missy and Dean after reaching the meet-the-parents milestone in their relationship.

The overly accommodating behavior of the family strikes Chris at first as a nervous attempt to deal with the interracial relationship of their daughter. After a weekend of increasing alarming discoveries, he comes to learn the truth that he could never have imagined.

5. The Conjuring

The Conjuring is a horror film available on Netflix and is utterly terrifying. Set in the 1970s in a creepy old house newly occupied by a family of five children, this film features a young boy with an unreal buddy, a scary basement, and two expert exorcists. Scary movies get little better than that, do they?

They filled the movie with plenty of scary moments, so we thought that an intoxicated shot of cannabis might be the best option. The chances of spilling a drink in this movie are high if you hold it during any of the jump-worthy moments.

6. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

When high, it would be best to watch this classic 1974 horror film. Sally and her brother go to the graveyard with friends to check for damage after learning about the vandalization of her grandfather’s grave.

They encounter a family of murderous outcasts at the family’s old farmhouse after taking a detour. During the attack by Leatherface and his chainsaw, the survivors must do everything in their power to escape.

Intriguing, scary, and gory, this movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. When you want to get high, this is the perfect movie to watch.

Conclusion

Similar to weed, horror uses text and images to create an endlessly riveting collective dreamscape in which all of us are free to express our emotions, ideas, and even trauma. The visual language of horror movies is primal. It presented us with terrifying and exciting images, tapping into both our fears and our excitement.
