With Halloween this month everyone is on the lookout for their favorite horror films that they watch every year. The TV screens are flooded with all the classic masked murderers, haunted houses and disturbing zombies. Of course, you can't forget about the witches, vampires, and ghosts that make up the 30 nights of Halloween countdowns.

What you really need though is some spine-chilling, bloodcurdling, hair-raising scary ass movies to really make the scariest month of the year terrifying.

Here are 10 not so basic scary movies, with trailers , to really frighten up your day:

1. Hush

What happens when you can't hear and you're all alone? Rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, this thriller will leave you asking for more. Hush Trailer

2. Prisoners

When a father would do anything for his daughter, all bets are off. This movie not only has a killer cast starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhall, but a killer twist as well. Prisoners Trailer

3. Drag Me to Hell

Now I know that karma can really be a bitch after this one. This comedy horror will leave you very naked and afraid from its eye-covering flinches to its seat-jumping scares. Drag Trailer

4. The Others

If you are looking for a classic haunted house scary movie then this is for you. Starring Nicole Kidman, this haunting throwback film will fulfill your ghostly needs this Halloween. Others Trailer

5. The Ruins

This horror flick takes an interesting turn when friends embark on an archaeological dig and they find a lot more than just the ruins. Ruins Trailer

6. Grave Encounters 1 & 2

If you are in the mood for some shaky camera documentary action these horror movies are for you. I bet you can guess what happens when a production crew locks themselves in a haunted hospital. Grave Trailer

7. Joy Ride Series

Starring Paul Walker, this mysterious thriller will make you think twice before pranking someone. If you are up for it, you can binge watch all three road trip adventures. Ride Trailer

8. 28 Days Later

Looking for some zombie action, here is a classic for you. Imagine waking up 28 days after a viral outbreak and doing everything is survive. No worries there is also a 28 Weeks Later if this just isn't enough. 28 Trailer

9. Holidays

I've never personally seen this one, but it comes very highly recommended. It's a compilation of six short films all made by different directors about a different holiday. Your favorite days of the year just might never be the same again. Holiday Trailer

10. Babadook

Who isn't afraid of what's inside the closet?Haven't had the chance to check this one out yet, but it's was rated 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and I've only heard great things. Babadook Trailer

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.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

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.
