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!

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
