Hocus Pocus | Witches Brew Soup and Cheesy, Garlic Broomsticks
Although considered a family film, we're not gonna lie: Hocus Pocus still scares the pants off us. And while the bubbling brew in the movie was used by witches to suck the lives out of the children of Salem (eek!), we recommend brewing this soup for a fun (non-life-sucking) All Hallows' Eve supper.

Eight Legged Freaks | Spooky Spider Crackers
We could literally feel eight little legs crawling all over our bodies as we watched this spider-infested horror flick. But these spooky crackers are the types of spiders we have no problem taking down!

Jaws | Sand and Sea Beach Cupcakes
Da nuh, da nuh, da nuh, da nuh. These beach-themed cupcakes make a tasty treat while you watch Spielberg's 1975 classic, Jaws. We recommend steering clear of the beach for at least 72 hours after watching and eating.

The Exorcist | Pea Soup with Mint
The scariest (or most disgusting) scene of The Exorcist? When demon-possessed Regan projectile vomits pea soup all over the priest. We just hope you have better luck keeping our mouthwatering recipe for it down ...

Cabin Fever | Fresh Squeezed Lemonade
A terrifying tale of five college pals who contract a flesh-eating virus, Cabin Fever begins and ends on a frightening note. Cue the final scene where two local kids collect (infected) water for their lemonade stand — further spreading the madness. Is all this lemonade talk making you thirsty? Try our fresh-squeezed recipe if you dare.

Se7en | Spaghetti with Mozzarella-Stuffed Meatballs
Its not every day a thriller about a serial killer puts us in the mood for Italian. Fast forward to Se7en's gluttony killing scene, where the victim is forced to eat spaghetti until he dies. Is that your stomach we hear rumbling (or churning)? Try this killer pasta dish — just dont eat quite as many bowls.

Poltergeist | Steak with Mushroom Tequila Sauce
Outdated (and totally awful!) special effects are one of our favorite parts of '80s horror movies. That's why we love Poltergeist's kitchen scene, where a scientist hallucinates that he's eating a maggot-infested piece of steak (who knew meat could dance so well?!). Grill up your own piece of meat with this delicious, bug-free recipe.

Hannibal | Roasted Brains
In a horrific scene from the 2001 psychological thriller, Dr. Hannibal Lecter cuts out pieces of a corrupt Justice Department officials brain, sautees them, then feeds them to him. For a mouth-watering, non-human brain dish, we recommend roasted (cauliflower) brains.

The Silence of the Lambs | Haggis
Dr. Hannibal Lecter inspires us again. Who could forget his talk of eating a Census worker's liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti?! We have our own tasty recipe for liver, but our dish opts for chicken or beef liver, rather than human. (So we guess you could say its vegan?)

Flowers in the Attic | Mexican Wedding Cookies
It takes a special (or psychotic!) sort of mom to lock her kids in an attic and feed them arsenic-tainted cookies like Corrine Dollanganger in the 1987 horror flick, Flowers in the Attic. Try these Mexican wedding cookies in her honor but beware of the powdered sugar toppings ...

Harry Potter series | Licorice Wands + Cockroach Clusters
The flicks from the spell-casting Harry Potter series are full of delightfully scary scenes involving goblins, dark magic, and wickedly evil wizards. Snack on these candy wands and cockroaches while watching, and you may catch yourself casting powerful incantations — expecto patronum!

Zombieland | Zombie French Toast
For a movie that’s more fun than scary, look no further than Zombieland, a parody of the typical apocalyptic, flesh-eating zombie narrative. And the film just happens to pair perfectly with this disturbingly delicious green zombie French toast.

Psycho | Grilled Cheese
Norman Bates is remembered as a lot of things — murderer, madman, amateur taxidermist — but people forget he was also the one who prepared a toasted cheese sandwich for Mary when she was thrown out of her apartment. This grilled cheese is just as comforting — and you don’t need a psycho to make it for you!

Pet Sematary | Cookie Graveyard
Curiosity killed the cat ... and his owners! This eerie film follows a family who moves into a new home near a pet cemetery. Despite warnings that the cemetery sits on top of an ancient Indian burial ground, they explore the area, with expectedly terrifying results. We bet you’ll have just as much trouble staying away from this tasty cookie graveyard!

Children of the Corn | Corn on the Cob
As much as we would hate to find ourselves chased by a gang of murderous children into a terrifying cornfield like in this ’80s thriller, we can’t deny that the eerie scene leaves us craving corn. And, grilled or roasted, there’s no better way to eat it than on the cob!

Scream | Gourmet Popcorn
Who could forget the iconic opening scene of the first Scream movie, where Drew Barrymore’s character is making stovetop popcorn when she receives that phone call? Still, we’d recommend sending any phone calls straight to voicemail while preparing this tasty treat.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest | Birds Nest Macaroons
One flew east, one flew west ... and you'll fly off the handle for these bird's nest macaroons! In fact, it might well have been one of these treats that drove Jack Nicholson mad enough to find himself planted smack dab in a loony bin, run by a head nurse even more psychotic than her patients.
