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

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

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

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.
