The Best Halloween Movies To Watch

Of all the things about Halloween that I love, the movies have to be one of the best. There are so many, ranging from horror to comedy, and all in between. Get some candy or popcorn and get in the Halloween spirit!! Here are some movies that I look forward to every year.

1. "The Nightmare Before Christmas." This one is unique, because it can be watched for Halloween and Christmas. However, Tim Burton's animations go perfectly with the creepy themes of Halloween. Add a great story with some awesome music, and this one, of course, has to be on the list.

2. "Halloweentown." Disney channel originals, anyone? I used to live for these movies when I was younger! What better to get you in the spirit of Halloween than diving into a town where it's Halloween everyday?

3. "Carrie." Not exclusively for Halloween, but it will absolutely get you in the spirit! It's bloody, scary, and great inspiration for a costume! Plus, it's a Stephen King classic that I think everyone should see.

4. "Hocus Pocus." More Disney love here! I remember this movie being a favorite of mine, and it seems like a great one to re-watch!

5. "American Horror Story." Not a movie, but if you haven't seen any seasons of this show, you are missing out! Each is scary and has amazing characters and a suspenseful story line. If you're looking for something to get you in the Halloween spirit for the whole month of October, this show may be a great place to start!

6. "Pet Cemetery." Another Stephen King classic, if you're looking for something scarier. I mean, it's Halloween, what's scarier than freaky cemeteries?

7. "The Addams Family." This movie (also a musical!) is what I think Halloween is. Everyone should know these characters!

8. "Twitches." Disney does it again! This movie about magical twins is another good one for anyone who isn't into the scary movies.

9. "The Conjuring." I saw this movie in the theater, and it was one of the better scary movies that I've seen, and this coming from someone who doesn't typically go for scary movies.

10. "Scream." This is a classic that I think is so fun to watch with friends! Watching old scary movies is such a different experience from watching the more recent ones, and I think the older the movie, the scarier it can be.

11. "Ghostbusters." I mean... do I need to say more about this one?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
