Because it is that time of year.

The Top 20 Must-Watch Halloween Movies

It is that time of year! The leaves are falling, the days are getting chillier, pumpkin flavoring is added into every food and beverage, but most importantly -- Halloween movies! Mid-October welcomes a plethora of Halloween themed movies loved by everyone, whether they are Disney classics or old-fashioned horror. My love for Halloween movies continues to be incredibly strong as the years of my life progress, so I thought it would be perfect to compile a list of some of my favorite Halloween movies.

1. Halloweentown (and its three sequels)

These movies are and will always be timeless classics. The adventures of "Halloweentown" and all of its members will never not be on my TV come October.

2. Scream (and its sequels, too!)

The first may be the best one, in my opinion at least, but the "Scream" movies are a must-watch during the Halloween season.

3. The Nightmare Before Christmas

No list of Halloween movies would be complete without this Tim Burton masterpiece!

4. It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Is it really a holiday if there isn't a Charlie Brown special about it?

5. The Addams Family

No Halloween is complete without a visit from this family to your television.

6. The Little Vampire

God, this is such an adorable movie and was one of my favorites as a kid. Who am I kidding though, I know I'll be watching probably right after I finish this list.

7. The Conjuring

Being a legitimate horror movie as compared to a Halloween themed one, "The Conjuring" still deserves to be on this list because it was made so well and has such a fantastic (and terrifying) story line.

8. Casper

Everyone could use a friendly ghost, right?

9. Beetlejuice

He's the ghost with the most!

10. Twitches

Go twitches, go twitches!

11. The Shining

This is one of my favorite movies in general. Kubrick took King's book and turned it into a film masterpiece.

12. Corpse Bride

Another Tim Burton great.

13. Ghostbusters

Who ya gonna call?

14. The Blair Witch Project

Viewers watch "recovered footage" from the three filmmakers, and the suspense is what'll get you. Side note, I haven't seen the sequel released last month, but should I?

15. Coraline

My college student self will proudly admit that I absolutely love this movie. Love.

16. Mom's Got a Date With a Vampire

Yet another Disney classic.

17. Hocus Pocus

This one has got to be one of the more popular Halloween movies. I do not think I am alone when I say I don't think I could count on my fingers how many times I have seen "Hocus Pocus."

18. The Grudge (all of them)

Not going to lie, these movies scare the crap out of me, and I don't scare easily.

19. The Goonies

"GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!"

20. The Haunted Mansion

C'mon, this movie has a Disney World ride out of it. Clearly it's a worth a watch.

There are many, many more movies that no doubt deserve to be on this list, but I like to think that this is a pretty solid list of Halloween movies. If you haven't seen any of them, don't admit to it, just go watch it right now.

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.

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.

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.
