7 Kid-Friendly Halloween Movies You Should Watch

It is that time of year again and we are just days away from one of the most beloved holidays: Halloween. Y'all, t'is the season to eat an absurd amount of candy, drink every kind of pumpkin flavored beverage, and light all your seasonal candles (my Candied Apple candle made by Better Homes and Gardens and available for purchase at Wally World is my favorite). This is also the time to settle in on the couch, snuggle up with your loved ones, make some kettle corn, and enjoy Halloween movies with your family. Movie-watching is an awesome pastime that can be done so easily and comfortably. So, parents, make this a Halloween tradition your kids will look forward to every year! Here are 7 family-friendly, Halloween movies you can watch with your little ones:


1. "Casper" (1995)

Rating: PG

Starring: Bill Pullman, Christina Ricci

This is such a fun movie that features ghosts that are hilarious, not terrifying. If your kids are cool, and maybe 10 years old and up, they should enjoy this one.


2. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993)

Rating: PG

Starring: pretty much just Danny Elfman

This is a classic that you can sing along with! I still know all the words to Jack's Lament. If your kids are headed for that emo stage in their life, they'll like this one. Just turn it on and it'll trick them into spending time with you.


3. "Beetlejuice" (1988)

Rating: PG

Starring: Michael Keaton, Alec Baldwin, Winona Ryder, Geena Davis

This is another classic that'll have your kids rolling on the floor laughing, not running to your bed at 3 am crying about some, "that movie scared me" stuff.


4. "The Little Vampire" (2000)

Rating: PG

Starring: Jonathan Lipnicki

This one is super cute and can be enjoyed by even the littlest little ones.


5. "The Haunted Mansion" (2003)


Rating: PG

Starring: Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Tilly

I am almost 21 years old and I can still watch this movie and enjoy it. This is a great one you can watch with the kiddos and actually enjoy yourself.


6. "The Addams Family" (1991)

Rating: PG-13

Starring: Angelica Houston, Raul Julia, Christina Ricci

This one is rated PG-13 because of a little sexual content, but if you are not super over-protective your kids should love this movie. It is one of my all time favorites and I can quote most of it word for word.


7. "Hocus Pocus" (1993)


Rating: PG

Starring: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thora Birch

This is a classic everyone loses their minds over. You would be a fool not to share it with your children! Don't we all want the best for them?


OK guys, make the holidays count because they only come around once a year. Cozy up on the couch with your 9-year-old while you have the chance, and bond over these movies....because in a few years they will be embarrassed to walk down the same aisle as you in Wal-Mart.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
