Enjoy horror flicks & spooky snacks!
Welcome, all you Halloween fiends, to the spookiest extravaganza of the year!
At Candy Funhouse, we have an insatiable passion for candies, and we can't resist diving into the latest trends in pop culture. Halloween isn't just about candy; it's also about costumes and creativity.
That's why we've put together a list of some popular horror movies and paired them with candies. If you're in need of costume inspiration or just want to elevate your Halloween experience, keep reading!
1. The Nightmare Before Christmas
A Halloween Candy Pairing list wouldn't be complete without Tim Burton's iconic film from 1993. To match the whimsical world of Jack Skellington, we have the Nightmare Before Christmas Pop Ups Lollipops.
These eerie figurines house Chupa Chups lollipops, turning them into a delectable treat and the perfect accessory for your Jack Skellington costume. Don't forget to bring Sally Shock as your date!
2. Scream
What’s your favorite scary movie? We promise we're just curious, not a Ghostface impostor. The original 1996 slasher classic deserves a candy equally fitting, so we've chosen Warheads Gummy Body Parts.
The gruesome theme of the film aligns perfectly with these tasty gummy limbs. Plus, the expression on the Warheads character's face is eerily similar to Ghostface's mask – a look you might adopt during the movie btw.
3. Saw
For the gory and gruesome world of "Saw" (2004), we bring you Vidal Missing Body Parts. This horror film deserves a candy that's equally dismembered and creepy. With gummy bones, brains, and eyes, you'll have an assortment of fruity flesh candy to enjoy! Place them in a punch bowl at your Halloween party for a truly disturbing touch.
4. Beetlejuice
You just need to hear his name once, and you’ll know who we’re referring to instantly – Beetlejuice (1988)! This cult classic horror comedy calls for Dots Ghosts. The main characters, a couple of endearing ghosts, are looking to reclaim their home, making these gummies a spooky yet delightful treat for your costume-clad adventures as Adam and Barbara Maitland.
5. Get Out
Jordan Peele's modern classic, "Get Out" (2017), left an indelible mark on horror cinema. In the final scene, the main character eats Froot Loops separately from the milk, a memorable yet kinda unsettling image. This is why we paired this film with Froot Loops Gummies, a Halloween edition gummy that's perfect for a Get Out-inspired costume or a sweet treat for trick-or-treaters!
6. Addams Family
Sink your teeth into Halloween Wack-O-Wax Multicoloured Fangs as you delve into the eerie but lovable world of the Addams Family (1991). Although often mistaken for vampires, these quirky characters are just humans with a darker vibe. This pairing highlights the delightful misunderstanding but still pays homage, making the Wack-O-Wax Fangs the ultimate Halloween find!
7. Hocus Pocus
The Sanderson sisters are Halloween legends, and "Hocus Pocus" (1993) captures their wicked essence. That's why Kit Kat Witches Brew with Marshmallow Creme is our pick for this classic Halloween flick. This chocolate bar pays homage to the Sanderson Sisters and the film's enduring popularity. Grab one before they vanish until the next Spooky Season!
8. Halloweentown
Halloweentown (1998) is a childhood favorite with some surprisingly spooky moments. For this comforting film about family bonds, we've chosen Werther's Original Soft Pumpkin Spice Caramels.
These caramels reflect the warm, grandmotherly essence of Aggie Cromwell, making them a delightful Halloween treat for witches, warlocks, and werewolves alike!
9. Coraline
Coraline (2009) might be a stop-motion animation, but it's not short on eerie vibes. To match the film's button-eyed parents and unexpected twists, we've picked Halloween Sour Patch Kids Zombies.
These gummies start sour and turn sweet, much like the surprises that await in the movie. Kids and adults can savor the sweet and sour sensations – a perfect match for the film's eerie charm.
10. Ghostbusters
Who you gonna call? The 1984 classic "Ghostbusters" has etched itself into Halloween and movie history. If you're dressing up as a Ghostbuster, complete your look with the Ghostbusters Light & Sound Candy Wand. Ride the ECTO-1, enjoy the candy inside the wand, and let the iconic theme music set the tone for your Halloween adventure!
11. Carrie
Pairing the 1976 classic "Carrie" with the Cherry Ooze Tube Candy Gel creates a Halloween costume duo that's equal parts fun and fright. The film's infamous prom scene, drenched in blood, is a standout moment.
Incorporate the Cherry Ooze Tube Candy Gel into your costume for a realistic, gruesome effect that will both shock and amuse you. Apply it generously and watch your friends gasp and giggle at your spooky transformation – it's a blend of classic horror and playful sweetness!
12. It
Combining the spine-tingling 2017 film "IT" with the Boston America IT Pennywise Tin is a genius Halloween combo. As Pennywise the Dancing Clown grins from the tin, you can store your favorite Halloween candies within.
Reach for a sweet treat during the film's hair-raising scenes, adding an extra layer of suspense to your Halloween night. Plus, this tin is a fantastic conversation starter, ensuring a Halloween filled with creepy laughs and shared chills.
There you have it, Halloween aficionados! Enjoy your favorite candies while immersing yourself in these classic horror films this Spooky Season.
