Like, for real? Ebenezer Scrooge, brainchild of Charles Dickens, blamed his initial ghostly encounter as a hallucination brought on by, among other things, \u201ca crumb of cheese,\u201d which potentially gave rise to a common superstition that cheese may cause nightmares. (Science says not so much.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheese is always a vibe, but sometimes that vibe can be a little macabre. After all, John Updike lyrically wrote, \u201cCheese is milk\u2019s leap toward immortality.\u201d But isn\u2019t immortality typically the ambition of wannabe vampires? To paraphrase, cheese could also be considered milk in \u201cundead\u201d form. (Read: zombie milk.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world of cheese is one of controlled decay, of harnessing microorganisms, of suspended animation. While mold is typically the result of something gone very wrong, cheese is the exception; mold is something that centuries of cheesemakers have cultivated for good. And beyond the cheese itself, cheese places and people also straddle the semantic line between darkness and light. In mythology (and in reality, as far as the creepy-crawlies are concerned), caves are eerie places typically occupied by bats, bears, and other creatures best avoided. Monger isn\u2019t always an innocuous term, and can also mean someone who promotes something for sinister gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is also some of the fun of cheese. Extreme cheese lovers are nothing if not a little cult-like, and it follows that cheese fans have a built-in delight for the gory or grotesque. At this time of year, cheese is great for pairing seasonal food such as Halloween candy or pumpkin-flavored everything, but cheese can also team up with a seasonal mood. And when that mood is a little creepy and craving a bit of horror? Lean into it with these scary movie and cheese pairings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">All products are independently selected by our editors.&nbsp;<em>If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-26-at-4.50.21-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-26-at-4.50.21-PM-772x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48338\" style=\"width:561px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-26-at-4.50.21-PM-772x1024.png 772w, https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-26-at-4.50.21-PM-226x300.png 226w, https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-26-at-4.50.21-PM-768x1019.png 768w, https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-26-at-4.50.21-PM.png 1134w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"http:\/\/murrays-cheese.pxf.io\/Vmo4VA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Mimolette<\/strong><\/a> <strong>+ <em>Infestation <\/em>or <em>Arachnophobia <\/em>and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4drrSG0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Don Bugito Dark Chocolate Crickets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No stranger to spooky season cheese boards because of its perfect jack-o&#8217;-lantern hue, <a href=\"https:\/\/culturecheesemag.com\/cheese-iq\/mimolette\/\">Mimolette<\/a> also brings the spooky mood because of its&#8230; let\u2019s call them \u201ctenants.\u201d Mimolette\u2019s unique, craggy texture<br>is due to its intentional inoculation with cheese mites: microscopic insects that burrow through its hearty crust and help aerate the cheese.

The same can be said when a body is bandage-wrapped, aka mummified. For dairy or human remains, the goals of cloth-binding are to preserve ageability and freshness. For the best effect, see if you can find a clothbound selection with the exterior bandage still intact\u2014or employ some spare cheesecloth to achieve the look\u2014while indulging in any number of similarly themed films, such as <em>The Mummy <\/em>or <em>The Awakening<\/em>.

So if you\u2019re feeling a bit of pyromania, use this tangy number as fuel for arson-inspired flicks such as <em>Firestarter <\/em>or <em>Backdraft<\/em>.

Perfect for pairing with films that similarly subvert innocent childhood characters, such as Pennywise from <em>It <\/em>or Chucky from <em>Child\u2019s Play<\/em>, Ch\u00e4llerhocker\u2019s intensely sweet and savory notes can also jump scare your tastebuds and may even increase your heart rate.
