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!

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.
