Halloween movies are the absolute best part of October, and while none of us have nearly enough time to watch all the Halloween films ever made, here are some of my favorites.

Whether you're feeling spooky, creepy, comedy, or childhood fantasy, here's a list tailored to any kind of Halloween fan.

For the One Who Loves A Good Scare: "Halloween"

IMDb

"Halloween" is my absolute all-time favorite horror movie, and while I may be a little biased, I HAVE TO recommend it as my #1 Halloween movie. Regardless of the number of times I re-watch this film, it still scares me senseless. Micheal Myers is one of those villains who just stick to you, whether that's because he never dies, or because

For The Classic Horror Fanatic: "Psycho"

IMDb

If supernatural stuff isn't your mojo, maybe a cult classic will satisfy your craving for true horror. Psycho was based on one of America's most disturbed serial killers and grave robbers, Ed Gein. Gein would decorate his home with the skins and bones of his victims. The whole case was so disturbing that the whole movie release had to be put on hold until the case was closed. Gein was also the inspiration for Leatherface from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and Buffalo Bill from "Silence of the Lambs." What a legacy.

For Your Inner Witch: "Hocus Pocus"

IMDb

I mean is it even a Halloween movie list without this movie? Set in Salem, Massachusetts, a coven of three evil witches are awoken with the intent of becoming immortal and setting their sights on wrecking the world. With an amazing lead like Bette Midler and her cover of "I Put A Spell On You," it's the most unforgettable movie on this list.

For your Inner Childhood: "Halloweentown"

IMDb

The ultimate childhood movie! I can't even describe how amazing this movie is. Although the movie set and style are a little old fashioned, the series is full of heartwarming moments and the story is so good, it's a great movie for all ages.

For The Romantic Couple: "Practical Magic"

IMDb

Two witch sisters live with a curse that any man who falls in love with a woman in their family, they would die. Of course, this is a perfect recipe for a beautiful romance movie starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Whether you watch this your partner or with yourself, it's honestly a really wonderful film full of girl power and magic.

For You and Your Bestie: "Twitches"

IMDb

Get you and your soulmate, some popcorn and get under some blankets while you watch this Disney classic. It's still been forever since I've seen this movie, yet it's still such a women power classic. Two identical girls find out that they're actually witch princesses from another Kingdom. It's up to their combined powers to save their home from the forces of darkness.

For The Kids: "Casper the Friendly Ghost"

IMDb

The 1979 original was one of my favorites growing up. Watching it recently I realized it's still absolutely beautiful and enchanting as it was when I was little. If you've been living under a rock, the movie is about a girl named Kat and her dad who moves into an old haunted house inhabited by none other than Casper the friendly ghost and his three unfriendly ghost uncles. The movie is stupid cute and is perfect for any younger audiences or audiences with a younger mindset (enter my five-year-old brain).

For the Monster Lover: "Beetlejuice"

IMDb

Of course, I had to add "Beetlejuice" to this list. While "Beetlejuice" isn't my favorite movie on this list, it still has all the charms of a Tim Burton film. Not to mention some parts of the movie were actually scarier than expected, (what the heck was that snake thing?). Just make sure you don't say his name thrice!

For the Whole Family: "The Addams Family"

IMDb

They're creepy and they're cookey, mysterious and spooky, they're all together ookey, the ADDAMS FAMILY! Whether you watch the first or second one doesn't really matter. You'll still get all the creepy family vibes from this family favorite. It's also fun to watch a family that's much weirder than yours.

The Forgotten Classic: "The Little Vampire"

IMDb

I'm not gonna lie, I thought this movie was a fever dream I had from eating way too much candy. Alas, it was a real film and one I wish I hadn't forgotten. This movie is super cute and so well produced I wish it was remembered more. In case you haven't seen it, or you're looking to add another great Halloween film to your list, "The Little Vampire" is a hidden gem for you.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
