Because Hocus Pocus isn't all that

13 Things to Watch This Halloween
Tim Burton

If you're anything like me, Halloween is one of your favorite days of the year. You get to dress up and go to costume parties and eat as much candy as you humanly can, with no judgement. But sometimes you're just not in a party mood. Last Halloween I stayed in my dorm and just binge watched a bunch of Halloween movies, and I compiled a list of my top creepy shows and movies to watch this Halloween, in case you're tired of Hocus Pocus like I am. (Plus you can go get a $3 burrito from Chipotle to eat while you watch).

1. Coraline

In my opinion, this is the most underrated creepy movie out there. It's rarely played during Halloween, but it's available at Target for $4!

2. Sweeney Todd


Because who doesn't want to watch a movie about a murderous barber and a demented baker.

3. American Horror Story

Literally every season has a different plot, making the ultimate scary show to watch.

4. Corpse Bride

Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter back at it again in another Tim Burton movie, aka the king of Halloween basically.

5. Beetlejuice

This is literally such a classic and if you don't like this movie we can't be friends.

6. Edward Scissorhands


I feel like this is a forgotten movie, considering that it's rarely played during Halloween.

7. The Nightmare Before Christmas


What's this? Just one of the best Halloween movies in existence.

8. It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

You might have a really bad Halloween, but it can't be as bad as Charlie Brown since all he gets while trick-or-treating is rocks.

9. The Woman in Black

I originally saw this because of Daniel Radcliffe, but there's the one scene with a rocking chair that messed me up real bad. 10/10 recommend watching this in the day with all the lights on and 5 friends.

10. Zombieland

Throwing in a comedy with some creepy and gory aspects.

11. Scream

Going off of the gory aspect, here's the perfect movie if you like thrills and kills. (You could also watch the MTV TV series)

12. Carrie

There's a couple versions of this movie, all having the same end result where Carrie goes insane and destroys her school dance and ends up killing people using her telekinesis powers.

13. Courage the Cowardly Dog


I don't care what you say, this is one of the creepiest shows out there, fam.

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.

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.
