15 Halloween Horror Movies You Need To Be Watching
Scoop Whoop

Every year for Halloween, there are certain scary movies you need to be watching. If you're reading this thinking you're too late because Halloween has passed, you're wrong. You still need to watch these movies. The devil inside you will thank you.

1. Urban Legend

A fairly cheesy slasher, but an easy one to start with.

2. Scream

Not as cheesy or easy to watch, but it does have some humor thrown in to lighten the mood every now and then.

3. Insidious

This one's a doozy, but you can't hide from it forever. Beware: that devil face still gives me nightmares.

4. The Conjuring

Another doozy, but it has a good story to go along with the jump scares.

5. The Orphan

Number one on the list of creepiest children in horror movies.

6. Pet Sematary

Another creepy child, tied with the Orphan, above.

7. The Shining


More of a thriller but still Halloween-worthy for its scare factor.

8. The Ring

The creepiest of the creepy... at least until you watch the next one.

9. The Grudge

Seriously. This one takes preparation.

10. It Follows

Not as scary as the rest, but a modern film that deserves mad props for a creative plot.

11. Psycho

The original slasher movie.

12. Saw

For anyone who wanted more gore.

13. Nightmare on Elm Street

The special effects make it a little less scary, but its still a classic horror.

14. Friday the 13th

At least Halloween can't fall on Friday the 13th.

15. Halloween

Duh.

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.
