The Horror Movie You Should Watch For Date Night, Based On How Long You And Your 'Boo!' Have Been Together

"Mean Girls"

Now that it is September, Halloween is practically in the air, that means it's officially the beginning of Cuffing Season yet again! You're thinking of dates to the local pumpkin patch, scary horror houses, and obviously scary movie nights cuddling on your couch.

It's really weird to think, but hear me out: there are different horror films to watch during different levels of your relationship. I have compiled five stages of relationships with five of the best horror films to watch in each stage.

Let the spookiness commence!

If it's your first date watch "Halloween" (1978)

The first, and original classic, "Halloween" starring Jamie Lee Curtis is the only horror classic to watch on a first date. It's not too scary, but it's scary enough to give you a reason to cuddle up to your date. Due to the length of the film being only an hour and a half, this leaves time for you to go out to eat, or do anything really before sitting back and relaxing. The suspense gives a dark ambiance that gives potential to lead to something else with your date... if you know what I mean ;)

If you're officially dating, watch "The Conjuring" (2013)

After living through your first couple dates, you have decided to take the next leap of faith and making it "official" with your new bae! As you are becoming more comfortable with them, you are able to watch scarier flicks, and what could be better than "The Conjuring?" This movie has many jump scares, and watching this with your new boo will give you as much excitement as being with them. 10/10 recommend this while taking your relationship to the next step.

If you've been together for a year or so, watch "Get Out" (2017)

Now that you're knee-deep into your relationship, you know the ups and the downs of your S.O. With that being said, you know their deepest and darkest secrets...which may be questionable. "Get Out" is perfect for longterm relationships, as it shows just how crazy they can get. But hey, it'll make you realize if your boyfriend/girlfriend is trying to hypnotize you for some ulterior motive...hopefully before it's too late.

If you're engaged, watch "The Strangers" (2008)

If you are a fan of "The Strangers" franchise, then you'd understand why this is an obvious pick. Boyfriend proposes to girlfriend, only to get rejected as they stay in their remote cabin in the middle of nowhere, and three masked killers torture and play with them till death. This movie is great, because it'll make feel relieved you said yes when your fiancé popped the question.

If you're married, watch "The Green Inferno" (2015)

"The Green Inferno" is without a doubt the sickest movie I have ever seen in my life. The gore, the situation, and just the deaths these people have to endure is truly terrifying. This movie is perfect for you and your spouse since you guys are 100% totally comfortable enough with each other to watch such a gory, horrifying movie. You'd only be able to watch this film with someone you feel really calm and collected with... and what better person than your spouse?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
