My TOP Halloween Movie Recommendations To Spook You During Halloween This Year

Touchstone Pictures

Hey Readers!

I wanted to do a fun article for Halloween rather than a poem or an open letter. Around this time of year, I watch a lot of Halloween movies. I've decided to place some of them (these are not all of them and in no particular order!) here; maybe one is your favorite too! I hope everyone has a safe, magical, and exciting Halloween!

Hocus Pocus (Rated: PG, 1993)

From Left: Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson), Bette Midler (Winifred Sanderson), and Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson) as the witch sisters. variety.com

Teenager Max Dennison explores an old house with his little sister, Dani, and friend, Allison. A mishap causes him to free three witches from 1600s Salem. This movie is filled with music, humor, and spells abound!

Van Helsing (Rated: PG-13, 2004)

From Left to Right: Hugh Jackman (Gabriel Van Helsing) and Kate Beckinsale (Anna Valerious). variety.com

Gabriel Van Helsing is one of the most formidable slayers around. His skills take him to Transylvania to assist Anna in maintaining her family's bloodline against the infamous vampire, Dracula. This movie is action-packed and filled with legendary figures of lore.

Beetlejuice (Rated: PG, 1988)

From Left: Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice), Geena Davis (Barbara Maitland), and Alec Baldwin (Adam Maitland)time.com

After a couple die in a car accident, they are confronted with a new family moving into their home. Both are determined to scare them away and team up with an odd spirit who goes by the name "Beetlejuice." This pick is music, comedy, and a little spooky all in one!

The Addams Family (Rated:PG-13, 1991)

From Left: Christopher Lloyd (Uncle Fester) and Anjelica Huston (Morticia Addams)imdb.com

The Addams Family is greeted by a visit from Uncle Fester, long-lost brother of patriarch Gomez. All is well until the family's matriarch, Morticia, sees signs that their guest may be an impostor. If you aren't familiar with the Addams family, get ready for plenty of dark charm and humor!

The Nightmare Before Christmas (Rated: PG, 1993)

Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman lend their voices to Jack Skellington as he speaks and sings (respectively) to the citizens of Halloween.unilad.co.uk

Jack Skellington is the king of Halloween and of the various spooky citizens of his town. When the forlorn scare master finds himself in a world unknown, the chance to make Christmas frightful is too good to pass up. One of my absolute favorites that will leave you singing and entranced from beginning to end!

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
