5 Spooky Halloween Movies For The Faint Of Heart

Halloween – the spookiest time of the year! However, some of us are not about being scared witless every thirty seconds while watching "Insidious" or "The Conjuring." Luckily, there are plenty of films that let us celebrate the spookiest season without the nightmares!

1. The Nightmare Before Christmas

Is it a Halloween or a Christmas movie? Even better. It's both! Spooky tunes and creepy characters make this magical movie one of the best to watch on a cool fall evening. Plus, the romance between Jack and Sally is definitely an example of #RelationshipGoals.

2. Hocus Pocus

"I smell... Children." Easily one of the best Halloween movies of all time, "Hocus Pocus" is hilarious and filled with super subtle jokes that adults will get but will fly over kids heads. Best Halloween movie to watch when you're babysitting? Most definitely, especially since it plays the most on Freeform's 13 Nights of Halloween. Let the Sanderson sisters put a spell on you!

3. The Addams Family

Between Wednesday's one-liners, Morticia's eternal style, and Gomez's adoration of Morticia, "The Addams Family" is perfect. America's favorite spooky, gothic family is one of the best to grace your television screen this Halloween season. Plus, you can't help but snap along to the theme song.

4. Halloweentown

"Halloweentown" is arguably one of the best Disney Channel Original Movies of all time. You've got Debbie Reynolds playing a quirky witch, and who didn't want to be Marnie growing up? This movie is equally nostalgic and just as entertaining as it was when you were younger!

5. Beetlejuice

One of my personal favorites, Tim Burton's strange and weird film "Beetlejuice" is everything great about Halloween. It's goofy, rude, full of pranks, and delightfully dark. Besides, the sequel comes out soon, so you have to watch the original!

So enjoy these spooky films this Halloween season, and then go to bed without fear of any nightmares coming to get you.

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.
