October means Halloween and Halloween means haunted houses-- Some of us love them, and some of us just love to hate them. Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I happen to be one of the people who loves them. Here's a guide to the best haunted houses in the Hudson Valley:

1. Pure Terror Scream Park: Monroe, NY. General Admission: $45.00

Before you get scared off by the price, let me explain. Pure Terror Scream Park has six haunted houses, so you're paying about $8.00 per house (totally reasonable). Originally this haunted house used to be at the Castle Fun Center, but it has since upgraded because it needed more space. I loved it at The Castle, and I love it now. Each house has it's own theme, so you're entertained the whole time. Visit their website for more information: http://www.pureterror.com (Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until October 30th- check website for times)

2. Kevin McCurdy's Haunted Mansion: Wappingers Falls, NY. General Admission: $28.00 (NYS Sales Tax Included)

I admit, I haven't been to this one yet, but it's on my list of places to go. This haunted attraction has gotten good reviews and was even featured on AMC Fear Fest! This haunted house has three attractions. Visit their website for more information:http://thehauntedmansion.com/admission.html (Open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until October 30th- check website for times)

3. The Forest of Fear: Tuxedo, NY. Tickets Range from $16-$30 (by night).

Again, I know... the price is a little off-putting, BUT this haunted house features seven attractions for the price of 1 ticket. Voted #1 scariest haunt at http://www.hauntworld.com/haunted_houses this is a can't miss this Halloween. Visit their website for more information: http://renfair.com/forestoffear/ (Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights October 7th- October 30th)

4. Headless Horseman: Ulster Park, NY. Online Ticket: $39.95 + 3.95 service charge + tax. On-site Ticket: $46.95 + tax


Nine attractions all included in one ticket. Voted Top 13 Haunts by http://www.hauntworld.com/haunted_houses you MUST visit this attraction. (Open September 17th- November 5th)

5. TerrorDome Scream Park: Newburgh, NY. General Admission: $18.95 + tax or combo for $35.00


The TerrorDome has been scaring people for 18 years and is back for the 2016 season, be sure not to miss it! Each ticket includes three haunted attractions, and the combo ticket (saves $2) includes all six haunted attractions. This haunted house is another one I have to visit this year. (Open November 30th- October 30th and includes extended hours on specific weekends.)


Happy Halloween!

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.
