Eight Scariest Halloween Movies

It’s that time of the year, everyone. Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means… it’s time for scary movies! There is nothing better than curling up and watching a scary movie or two during the Halloween season. Here is a list of eight movies that you can’t miss and that will leave you scared throughout the night!

8. Dawn of the Dead 
What is better than zombies chasing humans? In this epic horror movie, humans are killed left and right by zombies and have to hide in a shopping mall to attempt to survive. You don’t want to miss this one!     

7. Paranormal Activity
This movie is about a couple, Katie and Micah, and their haunted home. There is a supernatural occurrence in their home. This movie is especially creepy because of the style of film. There are cameras set up around the house and it makes the footage seem very real. From flickering lights to blood-stained clothing, this is a Halloween must.     

6. The Sixth Sense
“I see dead people” has to be one of the most quoted movie lines of all time. "The Sixth Sense" is about a young, troubled boy who can talk to dead people, and a psychologist who tries to help him. This movie was the second-highest grossing film of 1999, so obviously you will want to catch this one on a spooky night this month.      

5. The Shining
Jack Torrance takes a job as a caretaker at a hotel. He is a recovering alcoholic and has a young son and wife. There is a supernatural being in the hotel that inhabits Jack. Because of this he makes horrific decisions. Trust me, this one you can’t miss.      

4. Night of the Living Dead 
What starts out as an innocent trip to Pennsylvania to visit a gravestone turns into a disaster. Barbara and her brother Johnny visit their father’s grave, but Barbara gets attacked by a man and Johnny dies saving her. Barbara runs to an old farmhouse with Ben, a man she finds on the way. It turns out this place also houses other frightened people running from zombies. Give it a watch and you won’t be disappointed!     

3. The Exorcist 
What is scarier than being possessed by the devil? This movie deals with a 12 year-old girl being possessed and her mother attempting to bring her back to the real world through an exorcism directed by two priests. This is one of the creepiest movies to date.         

2. Jaws 
This thriller directed by Steven Spielberg is a classic. Jaws is about a humongous, man-eating shark that attacks humans on the beach on Amity Island, a fictional resort town. Marine biologists attempt to hunt the shark down in order to stop the killings. This movie was the highest growing movie in history until "Star Wars" was released. This classic thriller is a must-see this Halloween season!     

1. Halloween
The original film, released in 1978, is about a six-year-old boy who murders his sister on Halloween night. He then is admitted to a psychiatric hospital, but escapes five years later, and he immediately begins stalking a young girl. This horror movie is perfect for a scary Halloween night, and I highly recommend it!

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.

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.

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.
