Halloween is the perfect time to curl up on the couch with some of your favourite spooky films. But why settle for just popcorn and sweets? Elevate your fright night with some perfectly paired sips to match the eerie vibes of your movie marathon.

Watch 'Hocus Pocus' and sip on a Black Widow Cocktail

When the Sanderson sisters are up to their witchy antics, you’ll want to get in on the magic with a cocktail just as dark and enchanting. Light your black flame candle and sip on a Black Widow, a deliciously mysterious cocktail that will have you feeling spellbound. A perfect mix of spooky and sweet, just like the movie itself. 

Watch 'The Shining' and sip on a bold red wine

As you step into the eerie and isolated halls of the Overlook Hotel, you'd want something strong and bold to settle your nerves. A glass of rich red wine – such as Barossa Valley Estate Shiraz, Penfolds Max's Cabernet Sauvignon, or Nanny Goat Central Otago Pinot Noir – provides just the right amount of depth and intensity to match the suspense of the movie. 

Watch 'Scream' and sip on a Tequila Bloody Mary

What better way to embrace the slasher fun of Scream than with a spicy Tequila Bloody Mary? The heat from the cocktail’s hot sauce and the savoury tomato base will give you the perfect kick as you watch Ghostface terrorise his next victim. It’s a fiery and bold drink that matches the adrenaline-pumping energy of this iconic horror flick. 

Watch 'Beetlejuice' and sip on a Poison Apple 

Summon the spirits (and the fun) with a Poison Apple cocktail while watching the wild antics of Beetlejuice. Just like the afterlife, this drink is full of surprises and will keep you refreshed as you laugh your way through this offbeat ghost story.
