Lately, I haven't been able to take any scary movies seriously.

A List Of Comedy-Horror Movies To Sweeten Up Your Halloween

It's the 21st century – and I still can't take horror movies seriously. We have jumped from zombies with overly-exaggerated hilarious makeup and gushing blood to zombies with metal helmets covered in spikes to zombie dogs that can split their mouth open into four different parts. What the fracking frick?

Now, whenever I go to watch a movie, I wonder which parts are going to make me laugh – instead of wondering how scary the movie will be. Who knows, maybe my sense of humor is too sardonic or movies nowadays go the extra mile that some people can't take them seriously.

I want to confess something. The Conjuring is not scary; has never been. And nobody can change my mind.

Since most of my life I haven't been able to take horror movies seriously – or haven't been scared by them – I thought that a good list oh horror comedy would benefit most of us. A good laugh will come in handy, trust me.

1. Scary Movie

If you want to forget who you are and have a good laugh, any Scary Movie will do the job. (Except Scary Movie 5, but we don't know her.)

If you've never heard of these movies, picture them as a humorist anthology of various horror movies that follow the life of Cindy Campbell and her friends. We've gotten parodies of infamous scenes from movies such as Scream, The Blair Witch Project, The Exorcist, The Ring, Saw, The Grudge – you name it.

I recommend a marathon of all these movies if you have to stay in during Halloween to give candy to the kids. Have some friends over at least.

2. A Haunted House

Giphy

Another series of parody that overtakes a new path for Paranormal Activity and The Conjuring, among some other recognizable scary movies that have managed to make us yawn throughout time. But trust me, this one gets out some many good laughs out of you.

Either you watch A Haunted Hour or A Hunted House 2, I promise that you'll end up peeing yourself. (Although there's more of a structured storyline to this one, so start with the first.)

3. Stitches

Giphy

Stitches, an Australian movie about a clown that comes back from the dead to take revenge on the kids who killed him, must be on your To-Watch List.

What makes this movie funny are the ingenious ways in which our clown, Stitches, kills his victims/killers. (I'm fazed here...) Despite the blood and guts and eyes flying out through the entire movie, Stitches should be considered a classic among the clown-horror genre. It's got everything you want: gore, a clever clown, death, and humor.

4. Zombieland

Giphy

For a huge fan of horror and zombies, Zombieland is the movie for you. It follows the story of Columbus, as he meets a cowboy with a weird obsession with Twinkies named Tallahassee, and a pair of sisters who wished to make it to Pacific Playland in California named Wichita and Little Rock. These group of odd people must travel through the country infested by zombies while trying to have a good time at the same time.

And there's also a plus, Bill Murray makes an apparition in this movie, and I think it is iconic.

5. Final Girls

Giphy

Final Girls is about these group of teenagers who get stuck into a shitty remake of Friday the 13th. While trying to find out a way to get out of the movie, they realize they have to act according to the storyline of the movie. While trying not to meddle with the actual characters, they end getting them killed, and now they have to deal with the killer. Slowly they start dying too, and only the final girl can save them all.

Spooky, I know. However, these are an array of some movies I can never get tired of, but if horror isn't exactly what you want, I'm sure they will hit the spot.

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.
