10 Must-Watch Movies This October

Fall is my favorite time of the year, and October is my favorite month. I love the changing colors of the leaves on the trees and the smell of the crisp autumn morning. Fall is more than a season; it is a lifestyle. Sure, most girls love fall for the leggings, scarves, sweater weather, football season, or even the pumpkin spice flavored everything, but those don’t even compare to the reasons I love October. So here are my 10 reasons October is the best month of the year, giving credit to all the wonderful movies created for or around the great holiday of Halloween.

1. "Halloweentown"

To start things off, if you are anything like me, October, or more specifically Halloween, means two things: candy and "Halloweentown." These movies were my childhood and I still really enjoy sitting back on a fall evening and watching the whole series of "Halloweentown" movies.

2. "Hocus Pocus"

Another classic Halloween movie would be "Hocus Pocus." For those of you who have seen this movie, you know why this is on the list. It is a holiday classic that I highly encourage everyone to watch at least once this fall season.

3. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"

For the true kids at heart, this movie is undeniably a Halloween classic. Who doesn’t love Charlie Brown? This movie will bring out your younger side for anyone who watches it. Again, a must-see this holiday season.

4. "Casper The Friendly Ghost"

This movie is great for all ages. Casper, the friendly ghost, is one of the only ghosts everyone just loves.

5. "Double, Double, Toil and Trouble"

Who doesn’t love a little bit of young Mary Kate and Ashley? This movie is definitely one of my favorites for this time of year. It takes me back to my childhood and all the wonderful memories surrounding Halloween.

6. "Ghostbusters"

Who you gonna call?? The Ghostbusters, of course!! A perfect movie for the whole family to enjoy this fall.


7. "The Haunted Mansion"

Another family friendly movie for this Halloween is "The Haunted Mansion." This movie is based on the iconic ride at Disney World.


8. "Beetlejuice"

"Beetlejuice," for the more scary movies this holiday season. It's an older movie, but still a great choice for Halloween.

9. "A Nightmare on Elm Street"

All you scarier horror film lovers, this movie is for you. The original or redone movie will make you scream and hide behind your pillow. A classic horror movie for this Halloween.

10. "Halloween"

And finally, the absolute classic for this October: "Halloween." Michael Myers is sure to give you the chills during this thriller. How could you not watch it on Halloween when the name of this scary movie is "Halloween"? It is a definite choice for anyone who loves a good scare.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
