There are great movies from the '90s and 2000s to watch now! From comedy to horror, watch a movie a week (or two) for the full Halloween experience before the wonderful day comes. Here are 20 grand movies, old and new, to light up your nights with laughs and shivers. Between "Hocus Pocus" and "Sweeney Todd" and, of course, "Charlie Brown," there is fun for every age.

1. Hocus Pocus

Fun filled adventure of three children who awaken three evil witches.

2. Young Frankenstein

Wonderful comedy about a man who creates a monster after he realizes he might not hate his family history.

3. Nightmare Before Christmas

A skeleton decides that he should take over Christmas and it rapidly becomes out of hand.

4. Live Action Scooby Doo

"Scooby Doo" with real people and a really funny crisis is a great monster mystery for the Halloween gang to enjoy!

5. Corpse Bride

A man running from a risen corpse bride who wants to marry him. Tim Burton films are always great this time of year

6. Edward Scissor Hands

Young Johnny Depp stars in this classic outsider story of a boy who lives forever with long scissors for hands.

7. Dark Shadows

Another great Johnny Depp film, this one about a vampire living forever with a crazy family some only out for power others for love.

8. Charlie Brown: Halloween

A wonderful Charlie Brown classic that every person should watch at least once in their lives!!

9. Scary Movie

Hilarious, satirical comedy about other horror films

10. Beetlejuice

Wonderful music and hilarious trials for two ghosts learning about their home being taken from them. As they find a man they think will help them keep their sanity, their lives, or rather deaths, take an even crazier turn.

11. Adams Family

A wonderful family quite different than the rest of the world and their fun with life.

12. Adams Family Values

With many plots, this is a great movie to watch whether you know the Adams family or not. Wednesday Adams goes to summer camp with normal people and craziness ensues. Mauritania Adams has a baby and everyone seems to want to kill it.

13. Casper

A wonderful comedy about a nice ghost and his three abusive brothers

14. & 15. Ghostbusters

Both the old and new are worth watching.

16. Mask

Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz are wonderful in this amazing comedy about a man finding a mask that transforms him into a crazy cartoon.

17. The Book of Life

A wonderful tale of love in the afterlife.

18. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

If you want to watch some killing of vampires and the life of a teen girl than enjoy some amazing Buffy time!!

19. Practical Magic

The three witches in modern society decide it's a great plan to bring a guy back from the dead, except when they do the spell a demon comes to life instead of the guy they wanted

20. Sweeney Todd

A dramatic horror, musical, about a barber's revenge on the evil Judge Turpin (not for children).

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.
