Days are cooler. Halloween is over. Thanksgiving looms down the line. How about a blanket, a candle, some take-out food, and a horror movie marathon?

Chinese take-out

The fun thing about Chinese take-out is the combos you can make on your plate. Some things you can use your hands, others chopsticks, maybe a fork. Food is already politely bite-sized so a knife is rarely necessary. You can scoop and watch.  Given the variety of flavors and foods, fast-paced films are ideal. 

Avengers (film series)

Final Destination

Inception

Scream

The Blair Witch Project

🍕🍕🍕

fast food burgers/fries

These are classic American food. It's laid back, it's casual. This plate is ideal for some classic teen type horror.

Friday the 13th

Halloween

Final Terror

Nightmare on Elm Street

An American Werewolf in London

🍕🍕🍕

sub sandwiches

Subs/grinders/hoagies are really ideal for a slow-paced film. I'd go with something gothic or classic and dark.

The Others

The Awakening

The Boy

The Haunting

Woman in Black

🍕🍕🍕

pizza

Pizza is a messy item needing both hands and carrying a lot of ingredients. It's complicated. I'd go with something with a plot that is complex and tense.

Saw

The Sixth Sense

The Village

Psycho

Let's Scare Jessica to Death

Think about the pace of the meal, the pace of the film. 

One of my favorite combos is 1950s SciFi and nachos!
