10 Halloween Movies For People Who Don't Like Scary Movies
Daniel Troutman

As someone who personally doesn't love scary movies, I can't wait until Halloween rolls around so that I can watch the family friendly Halloween movies on Disney Channel and channels that have Halloween countdowns. Who doesn't love the idea of curling up in bed on an autumn night to watch "Halloweentown"? There are plenty of movies that you can watch this October without getting nightmares when it's over. Here are 10 of my favorites:

1. Hocus Pocus

"Hocus Pocus" is one of those classic Halloween films from our childhood. Who can forget when the witches chased the kids into the graveyard? So maybe that was a little scary way back when, but now it's just a fun movie to watch every year.

2. Halloweentown series

"Halloweentown" isn't only my favorite Halloween-themed series, but possibly my favorite movie series of all time. Imaginations ran rampant when we were kids, dreaming of going through the portal with Marnie on Halloween! You can visit the town in Oregon that inspired the "Halloweentown" set!

3. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

We can all wait with Linus as he expects the Great Pumpkin to come along! Then we can all be bummed with Charlie Brown when he gets a rock during his trick-or-treating.

4. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Yes, the title is deceiving! Jack missteps through a portal and ends up in a Christmas town, much different from his spooky hometown. Some songs and romance ensue, and the spirit of the film has kept it popular, especially on television channels that play Halloween countdowns, for years.

5. The Addams Family

Although some people probably wouldn't classify this as a Halloween movie, its creepiness and eeriness definitely make it perfect to watch for the season. One of the best parts when watching it with the family is that parents recall the original show and can connect it across generations to their kids.

6. The Haunted Mansion

Who wouldn't want to watch the movie based off one of the best rides at Disney? Some find it surprising that the attraction came before the film, but it did and a remake is supposedly on its way.

7. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

This film about an unqualified girl who finds out that she has to hunt vampires is truly a Halloween comedy. Her transition into a vampire slayer, as the title hints at, is funny to watch.

8. Casper

This classic about the famous cartoon character Casper the Friendly Ghost is a Halloween favorite. Casper and Kat become good friends and their journey throughout the movie is both a funny and sad adventure.

9. Twitches

They're twins. They're witches. They're twitches! The Disney Channel movie was extremely popular when it first came out and we couldn't wait until the second one premiered! Watching the twins find each other and discover their powers is so much fun, and then watching them defeat evil is even cooler.

10. Mean Girls

OK, so this one isn't a Halloween movie, but it has a Halloween scene! You can't help but simultaneously laugh at and feel bad for Cady when she walks into a party fully dressed in costume to find the other girls, well, not as dressed. Also, October 3 is Mean Girls Day and there's a Halloween scene in the movie, so now's the perfect time to re-watch it!

What's your favorite Halloween-themed movie?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
