5 Halloween Movies for the Weak Hearted
Laika

It’s Halloween and you know what that means? Halloween movie marathons! Well, if you’re anything like me, it’s dreadful to know that you might run into "Paranormal Activity" or possessed five-year-olds on television. Or you might just not like horror movies period. If you fit into either one of these categories, say no more, I got you. Down below are the 5 Halloween movies I recommend watching if you want nothing to do with horror.

1. "BeetleJuice"


If you like ghosts but don’t want to deal with the exorcism, then you should watch "Beetlejuice!" It’s about a couple who recently died and became ghosts. They began haunting their former home but they suck at it, so they call up this crazy guy named Beetlejuice. Eventually they figure out this guy is crazy but it is too late. It’s a hilarious story. And since it is directed by Tim Burton, it contains extreme elements of fantasy. A must watch. And please, whatever you do, don't say "Beetlejuice" three times!

2. "Paranorman"

Zombie movies may have you shaking in your boots, but I promise you this one will not. It’s another comedic movie and it’s quite heartwarming. It follows the story of Norman Babcock, who is a bit of an outcast because he can speak to the dead! Norman finds out in the movie that his town is haunted and he is the only one that can save it. Even with the comedic element, it still manages to tell an amazing story. It’s also a stop motion movie so if you like these, then you should definitely watch it!

3. "Halloweentown" (1-3)

My list wouldn’t be a list if I didn’t include the classic "Halloweentown" franchise. If you like ghosts, ghouls, witches, and skeletons than it’s time to take a trip! These movies follow Marnie Piper and her story of being a witch. It begins with Marnie learning that she is one to her starting her own high school program for the citizens of "Halloweentown." And I promise you, you will want to go to this imaginary place before you’re even done with the movies.

4. "Hocus Pocus"

Honestly, the first time that I’ve watched this movie was last year. I knew that it was hyped by others but when I finally saw it, I realized why it had such a reputation. This is another movie about witches, but these witches aren’t as nice as the ones in "Halloweentown." These are Salem witches and they are quite evil. They become resurrected by a teenage boy who must put an end to all of the terror they caused before sunrise. The witches' costumes are everything. And there's a musical number in the movie that's classic.

5. "Scooby-Doo"

I feel like this movie is highly underrated as a Halloween movie but I thoroughly enjoyed it. To be honest, I don’t care for a lot of cartoon turned live action movies but this one is the GOAT. It follows the Mystery Gang after they broke up, but the world needs them to take on yet another mystery and they must do this one together. It’s a funny movie and it also has a lot of underlying jokes for adults as well.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
