Best Horror Flicks to watch with your Dry Herb Vape

The King of horror, Stephen King, used to smoke pot and drink beer while writing some of his horror classics, which would, in term, become classic horror movies. Some even debate that a few of Stephen King's stories make more sense if you're drunk or high.

5. Idle Hands (1999)

Not the scariest movie on the list, but Idle Hands centers around young stoner (Devon Sawa), whose hand becomes possessed and goes on a killing rampage. After beheading both of his parents the night after Halloween, Anton Tobias realizes something sinister is going on. While this slacker life-style resulted in the affliction that possesses his idle hand, cannabis ends up saving the day and not to mention Jessica Alba’s sweet booty.

4. Reefer Madness (1936)

Originally created as a Propaganda film in the 30’s that was meant to scare kids from smoking marijuana, Reefer Madness, soon became a cult classic for a much different reason. The tale revolves around Mae and Jack, a couple of drug dealers that entice high school students into smoking and after just one hit, they’re lives spiral into a downward fall of melodramatic events.

3. Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

Another cult classic perfect to watch after a dry herb session, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, focuses on a small town that is invaded by aliens from outer space that look like clowns and are capturing and killing the townspeople. This movie brings viewers a dizzying assortment of classic carnival tunes, as well as, shadow puppets, cotton candy guns, drinking people through crazy straws and much more.

2. The Nightmare (2015)

One of the actual scary movies on this list also happens to be a documentary on the terrifying phenomenon known as sleep paralysis. What truly makes this a scary movie is that everything described by the film’s subjects happened in their in their own tortured minds.

1. It Follows (2015)

Topping off the list of movies to watch while enjoying your dry herb vaporizer follows a young woman that is cursed and is now being hunted by something unnatural after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter. The only way to get rid of the curse is to have sex with somebody else and pass it on to them.
