6 Movies From Your Childhood That Made You Excited For Halloween, And Still Do

As young adults, we watch more gruesome movies for Scaretober but let's take a moment to appreciate some movies we may have forgotten about. Movies from our childhood we grew out of but were always the go-to films when the fall season began.

1. Twitches

Growing up there were a handful of great DCOM's that came out but more famously their Halloween related ones. In this throwback, we watch twin sisters reunited at 21 discovering they are actually witches from an enchanted land named Coventry. While they learn more about their past and powers, they must battle an evil force of darkness that is taking over their land.

2. Halloweentown series

Marnie's adventures in becoming a better witch along with her siblings were always fresh popcorn worthy in October. Featuring a cast with the late Debbie Reynolds, this DCOM is filled with monsters and witches living peacefully in Halloweentown. We watch the kid's defeat Kalabar again and again and also follow them to high school.

3. Hocus Pocus

If Max Dennison wasn't a crush of yours growing up then you probably haven't seen this go-to Halloween classic. He, his little sister Dani, and Salem raised Allison to bring back the evil witches. With the help of Thackery Binx, they must all find a way to stop the witches from surviving past Halloween night. Watching the sisters explore the 20th century is always funny to watch.

4. Monster House

Though it may not be your first choice on Halloween night, this movie has it's moments and has stayed in our unconscious mind since it's release. A home taken over by a vengeful human that passed seems like an actual horror film. Adding that and three kids venturing in to bring peace to the neighborhood is a great storyline.

5. Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School

Although this one is from 1988, like me I'm sure many of you have watched this beloved movie. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy teaching an all-girls school how great they all our individually was just a start to my feminist beginnings. It's funny, lighthearted and just adorable.

6. My Scary Godmother

Who can forget about Hannah Marie and her Scary Godmother? It shows us the joyful parts of Halloween that, like Hannah, most kids are scared of at first. Halloween is a festive and amazing holiday and no one quite teaches that like Scary Godmother and all her guest.

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.
