What makes the ultimate scary or action-packed movie night? In Part 3 of How to Do the Pot’s Summer Movie Nights series, host Ellen Scanlon is joined by Sophia Wronsky, writer of the popular Substack Sophia is Voracious, to share how to create a night full of suspense, excitement, and fun.

Sophia reveals her favorite scary, horror, and action films — plus her tricks for recreating a movie-theater atmosphere at home. From themed snacks and crowd-pleasing meals to drinks and cannabis tips that match the mood and keep the night flowing, you’ll learn how to keep guests engaged from the first trailer to the final scene.

You’ll also hear:

  • How to set the scene so guests feel the thrill without the chaos.

  • Hosting tips for keeping energy high during suspenseful films.

  • DIY food and dessert ideas that are easy, flavorful, and memorable.

  • Low-dose cannabis recommendations for a night of laughs, jumps, and great conversations.
