It's around that time where everyone begins to get their Halloween plans in order. The costumes are being picked out and the parties are being schemed. But, there are those who's plans revolve around the television. So, whether you love or hate to be scared, here are the must watch movies for this Halloween.

5. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Okay so this one might be cheating because it's not technically a movie, but you have to admit that this television special is a classic. It's the perfect TV movie for those who aren't looking to be scared. It originally aired in 1966, so the tale of the Great Pumpkin is sure to bring back plenty of nostalgia to all of the people that grew up with this special. No matter what, this movie will always remind you of the days of trick or treating, embarrassing costumes and an overload of candy. And if you've somehow never seen It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, well this year should be the year.

4. Oculus

This is a dramatic switch from the family-friendliness of Charlie Brown, but it is a great for anyone looking for something new this Halloween. Released in 2013, Oculus is the story of two siblings, played by Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites, attempting to figure out if a mirror in their childhood home is haunted or if it's all in their head. The movie is so detailed and crazy that you might not know if what's happening on screen is really happening or not. But, the films suspense and scares are top notch, Oculus can easily be considered somewhat of a hidden gem on Netflix.

3. Scream

If you love all things 90's then Scream will be no exception. The 1996 film features classic 90's vibes while somehow never getting old. It's a movie that can be watched over and over, and it only gets better with each viewing due to its constant mix of gore and humor. Scream is your classic slasher flick, it's star being the infamous ghostface, with dozens of twists and turns throughout the two hours that any horror fan will be at the edge of their seat. This Wes Craven classic has an amazing cast in Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, David Arquette and Rose McGowan, which will have you wondering: What's your favorite scary movie?

2. Hocus Pocus

No Halloween list would be complete without this Disney classic. If you haven't seen Hocus Pocus you've definitely heard about it from friends or people of Tumblr. But, basically everyone begins to freak out about this movie the second October arrives. It's the ultimate tale of witches and spells that would please any and every Halloween fan. You've seen Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy as the iconic Sanderson sisters who serve up an incredible amount of laughs and spooks, even horror fans will find themselves spellbound by this 1993 classic.

1. Halloween

So this one was definitely obvious, but its the best movie to get anyone into the Halloween mood. First of all, it's a John Carpenter movie, which guarantees it to be a perfect scary film. Secondly, it stars the ultimate scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis. Also, it's the ultimate blend of old, campy horror and genuine suspense. It's the movie that has always managed to send a chill down my spin no matter how many time's I've watched it. The unforgiving murderer Micheal Myers and iconic shoots makes Halloween the ideal film for this spooky time of year.

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.
