Note: Release dates, theater listings, and streaming availability can change. The links below will help you check current options.
1. Other Mommy: There’s No Place Like Home
The vibe: Supernatural horror, unsettling family secrets, and the fear of something familiar becoming something terrifying.
Sometimes the scariest stories take place right at home. Other Mommy taps into that uncomfortable feeling that something isn’t quite right, building a supernatural nightmare around a mysterious entity that takes on the appearance of a young girl’s mother. It’s the kind of premise that might make you think twice before checking who’s standing in the hallway.
Cannabis pairing: Make it a cozy night in with a familiar flower strain or a low-dose edible that fits your experience level. Add chocolate, your favorite sweet snacks, and a soft blanket for a little comfort while the creepy stuff unfolds.
Where to watch: Find Other Mommy showtimes and streaming updates. The movie opened in theaters in October 2026, so check local listings for current screenings.
2. Whalefall: A South Coast Nightmare
The vibe: Deep-sea dread, survival suspense, and a whole new reason to respect the ocean.
In Whalefall, a diver searching for his late father’s remains is swallowed by a massive sperm whale and must find a way out before his oxygen runs out. It’s a claustrophobic survival thriller that turns the vast, mysterious ocean into a terrifying trap.
And for our community here on the South Coast, this one has a particularly interesting local connection!
New Bedford, Massachusetts, has a rich whaling history and is famously known as the Whaling City. Its maritime heritage is celebrated at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, where visitors can explore the region’s connection to the whaling industry and the ocean. That makes Whalefall a fittingly eerie pick for local movie fans — although we recommend enjoying this particular ocean adventure safely on dry land!
Cannabis pairing: A tropical or citrus-flavored cannabis beverage makes a fun contrast to the movie’s dark, underwater atmosphere. Add salty popcorn, crunchy snacks, and something sweet for a movie-night spread worthy of the South Coast.
Where to watch: Check Whalefall showtimes and tickets. The movie opened in theaters on October 16, 2026; streaming availability may follow later.
3. Crawlers: Something Wicked Is Coming
The vibe: Creature-feature chaos, sci-fi scares, and things that probably shouldn’t be crawling around.
If you like your Halloween entertainment packed with creepy creatures and unsettling surprises, Crawlers deserves a place on your watchlist. Creature horror takes the ordinary and makes it feel completely unfamiliar — suddenly, every dark corner becomes suspicious and every unexplained noise deserves investigation.
It’s a great choice for a group movie night, especially if your friends enjoy predicting what happens next and arguing over who would survive the opening scene.
Cannabis pairing: Go with a favorite pre-roll or familiar flower strain, plus a generous bowl of popcorn and your favorite salty snacks. Keep the pairing simple so you can focus on the action.
Where to watch: Find Crawlers showtimes and availability. Check the listing for current release and screening details.
4. Clayface: Getting Under Your Skin
The vibe: Body horror, disturbing transformations, and the monstrous side of comic-book lore.
Forget your friendly neighborhood superhero for a minute. Clayface takes a darker approach to the DC universe, bringing a shape-shifting character into horror territory. If you enjoy unsettling practical effects, twisted transformations, and stories that blur the line between human and monster, this one’s worth keeping on your radar.
Fair warning: this is not the kind of movie that will make you feel better about your next skincare routine.
Cannabis pairing: Try a flavorful hybrid flower or a familiar vape for a relaxed night of horror viewing. Keep the lights low, the snacks nearby, and your favorite comfort food within reach… if you can stomach it!
Where to watch: Check Clayface showtimes and release information. The film is scheduled to open in theaters on October 23, 2026.
5. The Cycle: A Trip Into the Unknown
The vibe: Dark mysteries, unsettling discoveries, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
Some horror stories are all about jump scares. Others slowly get inside your head, leaving you piecing together clues long after the credits roll. The Cycle falls into the mystery-and-suspense mood, making it a good pick for viewers who love a story that keeps them guessing.
Settle in, pay attention to the details, and resist the urge to look up spoilers halfway through. Theories are half the fun!
Cannabis pairing: A mellow cannabis beverage or a low-dose edible can complement a laid-back mystery night. Pair it with a warm drink, a favorite snack, and a comfortable couch.
Where to watch: Check The Cycle’s streaming availability. Listings and release details may vary by service.
6. V/H/S/Mixtape: Press Play at Your Own Risk
The vibe: Found-footage frights, grainy recordings, and a collection of nightmares.
The V/H/S franchise knows how to make ordinary recordings feel deeply disturbing. V/H/S/Mixtape brings that found-footage energy back for horror fans who like unpredictable stories, unsettling imagery, and the feeling that they’ve stumbled across something they were never supposed to see.
Because it’s an anthology-style horror experience, it’s also perfect for a group watch. Everyone can pick the segment that creeped them out most — and defend their choice afterward.
Cannabis pairing: Bring out the pre-rolls or pick a favorite cannabis beverage, then build a snack spread worthy of a midnight screening. Sweet, salty, crunchy — all the movie-night essentials.
Where to watch: Stream V/H/S/Mixtape. Current U.S. listings include Shudder, AMC+, and Philo, though subscription requirements may apply.
7. Carrie: High School Was Scary Enough
The vibe: Psychological horror, supernatural powers, and a revenge story that refuses to cool down.
Stephen King’s Carrie remains one of horror’s most enduring stories. Its combination of bullying, isolation, and telekinetic terror makes it frightening for reasons that go well beyond the supernatural. The new series adaptation brings the story back for another generation of horror fans, this time led by Director Mike Flanagan of The Haunting of Hill House fame.
If you love character-driven scares and stories that make you uncomfortable long before anything supernatural happens, add Carrie to your watchlist.
Cannabis pairing: Chocolate, brownies, or another favorite sweet treat make a fitting companion for this dark, emotionally intense story. If you’re consuming cannabis, stick with a familiar product and an amount you know you can comfortably handle… and keep some CBD gummies or tincture on hand just in case.
Where to watch: Check Carrie streaming availability. Verify the current series listing and platform before settling in.
8. Crystal Lake: Campfire Stories Gone Wrong
The vibe: Slasher nostalgia, creepy campgrounds, and a classic horror universe with a darker backstory.
If your perfect Halloween includes masked killers, eerie woods, and characters making questionable decisions after dark, Crystal Lake belongs on your list. The Friday the 13th prequel series explores the world surrounding Jason Voorhees and the infamous camp, revisiting one of horror’s most recognizable settings. Series Lead Linda Cardellini breathes new life into the Pamela Voorhees character, in an emotionally charged performance.
It’s a great pick for longtime slasher fans and anyone who enjoys a little nostalgic terror with their October viewing. And remember: if your friends suggest splitting up to investigate a strange noise, feel free to be the sensible one.
Cannabis pairing: A familiar flower strain or a classic pre-roll can complement a classic slasher marathon. Add kettle corn, chips, candy, and your coziest blanket. The blanket is for comfort, obviously — not for hiding your eyes during the scary parts.
Where to watch: Stream Crystal Lake on Peacock. All eight episodes premiered on October 15, 2026.
