Halloween is on its way and that means it is time for horror movies. While the little ones are busy sorting out their candy count, adults can “relax” with friends with a horror film and glass of wine. Here are 5 horror films that – when combined with red, white or rosé wines – can make a normal night, a thrilling one.
1. Halloween - Chianti Classico
It’s one of the Halloween classics with a namesake just like the holiday. Halloween by John Carpenter should be paired with a classic wine – a wine with a velvety flavor to keep you comfortable during those oh-so-suspenseful scenes.
2. Interview with the Vampire - Farnito Brut
If you are looking for more of an “elegant” horror, Interview with the Vampire is the perfect choice. Tom Cruise plays the blood-seeking Lestat who will keep you on the edge of your seat. This movie deserves a wine with a cult following – a Farnito Brut which is produced in very limited quantities, making it a unique charm to even Lestat.
3. Dracula - Appodiato di Montepulciano Vigneto di Poggio Sant’Enrico
Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece is based on the famous novel by Bram Stoker and is an absolute classic – Dracula. This classic film needs a classic wine and there is nothing better than a glass of Appodiato di Montepulciano Vigneto di Poggio Sant’Enrico- a powerful and vinous wine that even Dracula could not resist.
4. Scream - Tuscan Dogajolo Rosato
Looking for a Halloween movie that is full of irony and call backs? Then you need to watch Scream again. The perfect wine for a clever horror movie like this one is a Tuscan Dogajolo Rosato. This young, innovative and easy to drink wine is as unforgettable as a Wes Craven cult film
5. Deep Red - Rosso di Montalcino
We need an Italian horror movie on our Halloween list and that honor goes to Dario Argento’s Deep Red. And what better wine to pair this film with than a Rosso di Montalcino? This velvety, ruby red wine is an Italian classic worthy of another Italian classic.
