It is the creepiest time of the year. The kids litter the streets dressed as ghosts and ghouls. The 79th Saw movie is showing in the cinema, and pumpkin lattes are selling like souls at the crossroads. Yes, it's Halloween. That might mean carving a pumpkin, bobbing for apples or drinking too much at a party. These days, All Hallows Eve, as it was known, has taken on new meaning, but its origins are more spiritual than being offered trick or treat from a Chuckie mask. The Celts celebrated the ancient tradition of Samhain on the 31st of October, the night they believed the living world and the afterlife blurred. They would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts as they believed the spirits of the dead returned to earth.
For growers, Halloween probably means that the indoor growing season is in full swing. These days, the only bonfires we want to light are hand-held and come from harvested fruits. The only things resurrecting this time of year are world-class cannabis hybrids. And a broomstick is for catching cobwebs, not flying.
In the spirit of the most horrifying time of the year, we have found the five cannabis strains scarier than that kid from the exorcist. Well, not really, but the names are pretty frightening.
Ghost of NYC - Humboldt Seeds
We start this spooky list with a ghostly cannabis hybrid, but this ghost is not ghastly. Ghost of NYC is a 70% indica, 30% sativa that blends a symphony of terpenes with a rich, diesel-like aroma. Ghost of NYC will not give the heebie-jeebies. Despite a THC content of >20%. It will guide users through an initial uplift in the mood before entering complete relaxation. Add to that high yields a fast flowering time, and Ghost of NYC could be the friendliest ghost since Casper.
Monster - Eva Seeds
Monster by Eva Seeds is the type you want to find under your bed. It is like a friendly monster from a feel-good movie; it will guide novice growers. Forgiving minor mistakes and still producing mega yields of monster buds. Monster is a Monster you won't run away from or wake up screaming if you dream about. The most frightening thing about this sativa hybrid is how good it tastes. You'd be forgiven for mistaking this beautiful flower for hash by its taste of dry wood, hashish and fragrance of cask woods and spices. Monster proved its hash-making potential at the 2009 Spannabis Champions Cup, winning first prize in the resin category. If you're growing this sativa, you can expect monsters in your cupboards in 9-10 weeks.

Alienz - Green House
Maybe ghosts, goblins and vampires don't send chills down your spine, and aliens have you sweating at night. There's no need to be afraid of this extraterrestrial. Rest assured, this Alien invasion from Greenhouse is more of a liberation. AlienZ is a cross of two potent strains, a Watermelon Zkittlez from Dying Breed Seed and the latest GHS genetic, the Velvet Moon. Alienz is a stunning 40/60 hybrid that looks otherwordly compared to most cannabis hybrids. You can expect this hybrid to flower in 9-10 weeks with high yields and flowers of >20%. By the looks of it, these Alienz come in peace, and it won't be long before growers bow to a new overlord.
Big Foot - Sweet Seeds
The legend of Big Foot is one of the oldest stories known to humankind. The tale of 7-foot-tall hairy beast-like men roaming forests dates back further than recorded history. But Big Foot by Sweet Seeds won't chase you through a forest. It will grow you one. Albeit it is a short one. Big Foot by Sweet Seeds will only leave a small footprint despite its name. Big Foot is an indica-sativa hybrid with an intense, dense, sweet, fruity aroma and spicy background. Big Foot is ideal if you're in a hurry, as it has a quick flowering time of 7 weeks. Whether Big Foot was a beast or a colossal man, we don't know. But we know there's nothing scary about that Big Foot cannabis seeds by Sweet Seeds.
Spooky OG - Pure Instinto Seeds
How could we miss out on a cannabis strain called Spooky OG? We couldn't, could we? The only things spooky about it, though, are its scary high levels of THC and highly productive yields. And the only thing haunting about it is the exceptional flavour. Spooky OG by Pure Instinto Seeds is easy to grow and should have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks.
Monster Mash - Exotic Seed
It was most likely inspired by the novelty song from the 1960s by the same name about a mad scientist whose monster begins to dance. You will not go mad trying to grow this auto; it won't need much science. Monster Mash is easy to grow and has a unique aroma. It will develop a little short but will produce decent yields. We invite you, the living, to give it a try.
