13 Movies To Watch For Halloween

And who says it has to be for Halloween?

You've chosen your costume, you've gone out to parties, you've had the tricks and treats and whole nine yards of the holiday. Maybe you want to take a break from the costume parties and have a night in, or maybe you're just not ready to say goodbye to Halloween? Nothing's better than a good, old fashion movie night, featuring the best of the classics, some oldies but goodies, and the types that have you seeing dead people for another week after you've watched them.

Since 2016 seems to be the year for revivals, let's take a look at a few good throwbacks from Disney Channel's good days.

1. Halloweentown

The classic Disney DCOM that graces our screens every October. It's a can't miss!

Honorable mentions definitely go to the sequels: Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge; Halloweentown High; and of course, Return to Halloweentown.

2. Hocus Pocus

Halloweentown's closest contender, the best of the best for a Halloween night.

3. The Little Vampire

Talk about your throwback. Stuart Little, anyone?

4. Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire

I had zero memory of this movie's existence until I started going through Disney's old movies. Who could forget Caroline Rhea, Halloween queen? (Aunt Hilda for the win.)

5. Casper Meets Wendy

We're not the only ones feeling nostalgic this year. Hilary Duff gave us this amazing throwback to her Wendy days in one of Casper's many movies. It's not a DCOM, but it's definitely a classic Disney brings back for the Halloween season.

6. Twitches

One of my personal favorites from my Disney Channel days, and one of Tia and Tamera's last productions for Disney! Who didn't love these twins?

Besides Disney's original productions, Freeform's "13 Nights of Halloween" adds a few musts to the list of marathon-worthy movies - mostly Tim Burton films because honestly, he is the definition of Halloween movies.

7. The Nightmare Before Christmas

8. Sleepy Hollow

Johnny Depp was honestly made for Tim Burton films.

9. The Addams Family

Not Tim Burton, but the classic of all classics. Weirdest family of all time, absolute Halloween must. (I dare you not to snap along with the song).

And for all those intense, horror movie fanatics (you seriously have my highest respect), I asked around for any recommendations for Halloween (I don't watch horror movies so I have no idea what's good or not) and these were the general consensus.

10. A Nightmare on Elm Street

Ah, Freddie Krueger.

11. Carrie

Even the poster creeps me out.

13. The Sixth Sense

Legend.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.
