The 7 Halloween Movies You Must Watch

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday, I’m not a fan of horror movies, or anything scary for that matter. The gory masks and haunted houses are things I dread every year. But if there was one thing I looked forward to every October was the Halloween movies (not the scary ones though!), especially the one’s one Disney channel. So, let’s take a trip down memory lane at the top seven Halloween movies you must watch before All Hallows Eve.

1. Halloweentown

The best of all time. So good that "Halloweentown" didn’t stop after one movie, there are four. It is the ultimate nostalgia movie of my childhood.

2. Hocus Pocus

The next best of all time. Another classic Disney Channel Halloween movie, and if you say that you didn’t walk around singing “I’ll Put a Spell on You" then you’re lying.

3. It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

The most classic of all Halloween movies. Charlie Brown and the Peanuts are a staple in any holiday movie collection, but when it comes to non-scary, kid friendly movies, this one can’t be beat.

4. The Addams Family

They’re creepy and they’re kooky, mysterious and spooky. They’re all together ooky, the Addams Family. (ba-da-da-dum)

Again, don’t lie to me and say you don’t sing along with that every time. Wednesday Addams is our spirit animal, saying the truth that we all are thinking.

5. Ghostbusters

A favorite among multiple generations, and another jingle you have to finish every time someone asks “Who you gonna call?” But besides the catchy phrase, it is a Halloween movie that has connected generations, and developed into a book series and multiple different merchandise lines.

6. Twitches

Oh Twitches. Twin Witches. Witches that are Twins. The Mowry twins brought back memories of my favorite childhood show, "Sisters, Sisters," with another great Disney Channel movie.

7. Casper Meets Wendy

There are approximately 1500 "Casper the Friendly Ghost" movies that have been made, but this one is a favorite. The launch of Hilary Duff’s career, and the first movie to make Casper look like a fun best friend, instead of the scary ghost under your bed.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

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.
