9 Scary Movies To Watch This October
Empire Online

The best time of the year is finally here!

October is the perfect excuse to dress up in ridiculous costumes, drink way too many PSLs and watch horror movies for hours on end. We all love to gather around the TV and shut all the lights off with our friends scaring ourselves with twisted horror movies. Grab your popcorn and a blanket to cover your eyes for when you watch these scary Halloween movies!

1. IT

If you haven't seen this movie in theaters, you're missing out. Everyone loves a kid-eating clown who lives in the sewer, right? This might just be one of the scariest movies of all time, so you are in for a scary treat.

2. SAW I-VII

These classics will have you spooked for hours on end. If you love watching people try to win Jigsaw's games and save their own lives, then these movies are right up your alley. They're perfect for a weekend movie marathon!

3. Insidious

One of my personal favorites is this creepy flick. The plot will have your mind blown all while being sufficiently scared along the way.

4. The Shining

This one is an oldie but a goodie! Seeing this movie is basically a right of passage for anyone looking to call themselves a lover of horror movies.

5. The Exorcist

Only the truly brave will be able to make it through two hours and 13 minutes of the pure terror this movie has to offer. Good luck with that.

6. Hush

This relatively newer one is available on Netflix for all to enjoy. A deaf woman alone in the woods being terrorized by a killer sounds pretty disturbing when you think about how helpless she is.

7. Scream

Everyone's favorite slasher will always be a good pick when looking for that perfect movie to scare you, and maybe even your dad.

8. Amber Alert

Though this one is not your typical Halloween themed movie, it is still definitely worth the watch. If you are not convinced that this one deserves a spot on this list, all I have to say to that is just wait until the end.

9. Annabelle

This haunted doll will guarantee you a night without sleep after watching this one.


Warning: make sure you do not watch these movies alone unless you are a fan of nightmares!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
