Growing up, I was not a fan of being scared. Scary movies were a definite no-no, for sure. That didn't mean I wasn't watching Halloween movies, though! I had my favorites, and while some were a little spooky... they were definitely kid (and scaredy-cat) approved.

1. "Halloweentown"

It's like the Disney World of Halloween. Everyone wants to go to Halloweentown, at least once.

2. "Hocus Pocus"

The Sanderson Sisters: funny, high mantinence, and sometimes just a little spooky. They're definitely the best sister trio out there.

3. "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"

Snoopy, he's a classic. The movie, it's a classic - no explanation needed.

4. "Beetlejuice"

Don't even try to pretend that you don't think about Beetlejuice EVERY TIME you see a striped suit with some green hair.

5. "The Nightmare Before Christmas"

Christmas-y? Maybe a little. Halloween-worthy? For sure!

6. "Coraline"

A spunky girl with the attitude to rule the world? Count me in!

7. "Ghostbusters"

Probably the funniest one yet... Who ya gonna call?

8. "Scooby-Doo: Halloween Hassle at Dracula's Castle"

Any 90's baby is all about Scooby-Doo, I know I am. You just can't beat Scooby and those "meddling kids".

9. "Casper Meets Wendy"

The cutest duo ever. I can't pass it up when I see it on!

10. "The Addams Family"

*snap snap* Just your average, every day family - with a few quirks. But, hey, who's family doesn't have them?

11. "Casper"

Casper, the friendliest ghost you'll ever see. I agree.

12. "Phantom of the Megaplex"

This one is for the old school "Disney Channelers" out there! Gotta love a Disney Channel original, as cheesy as it may have been.

13. "The Little Vampire"

This one is just so cute, even if they are vampires (or wannabes).

14. The Haunted Mansion

One of my personal FAVORITE Disney World rides - even if it's not exactly the same. Eddie Murphy brings humor into the spooky reality of the Haunted Mansion.

15. "Corpse Bride"

Such a sweet love story, with a strange reality. It's weird, yeah, but you've gotta love it!

16. "Mom's Got A Date With A Vampire"

Another Disney Channel original movie, and cheesy with a capitol "C".

17. "Hotel Transylvania"

A funny, modern, spin on the world of Halloween. Just don't pass up watching it!

18. "Twitches"

Twins? Cool! Witches? Heck yeah! Twitches? Unbeatable combination.

Thank you, Disney Channel and ABC Family for giving me something to watch that didn't make me have nightmares!

AI music threatens creativity

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.
