13 Halloween Movies For Scaredy Cats

'Tis the season to be spooky.

Being a non-horror fan is something that I can't personally relate to but many people that I am close to hate horror so I have learned to be creative in my choices of scary movies to keep my people entertained.

Here are some Halloween movies that your non-horror friend can thoroughly enjoy and so can you!

1. Warm Bodies (2013)

Giphy

I remember watching this movie and laughing the whole time. And obviously finding Nicholas Hoult really attractive as a zombie.

2. What We do in the Shadows (2014)

Giphy

All you need to know about this film is that it is pure gold and it's a comedic vampire tale. Plus Taika Waititi is in it and he also directed it. If that name does not ring a bell, he directed Thor Ragnarok (arguably the best Thor film ever). So, this film? A must watch.

3. Monster House (2006)

Giphy

If you choose to watch one movie from this whole list? Let it be Monster House.

Yes, it's that good.

4. The Nightmare before Christmas (1993)

Giphy

A movie that has both Christmas and Halloween? What's not to love. Also, as you can see, I love animated movies so get ready for more.

5. Vampires Suck (2010)

Giphy

A hilarious parody of Twilight, this film is so self aware of how bad it is and that's what makes it so entertaining to watch. Highly recommend if you want to think about how ridiculous teenage books are.

6. Ghostbusters (2016)

Giphy

In this remake of the classic supernatural comedy, paranormal enthusiasts try and stop an otherworldly threat. It is highly entertaining and fun to watch.

7. Zombieland (2009)

Giphy

I may be biased because I love Jesse Eisenberg but this movie was amazing. As the name suggests, it's about zombies. There is a sequel that just came out called Zombieland: Double Tap which I still need to see.

8. The Addams Family (1991)

A classic and for good reason. The family has had a profound influence on American comics, cinema, and television, and has been seen as an inspiration for the Goth subculture and its fashion. It is remade as an animation film with the same name that just came out this year so I gotta check that one out and see if it is as good as the original.

9. Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Giphy

One of my go-to animated movies, Hotel Transylvania is a cute comedy. The film tells a story of Count Dracula, the owner of a hotel called Hotel Transylvania where the world's monsters can take a rest from human civilization.

As all things with Count Dracula, it is an entertaining watch.

10. Casper (1995)

Giphy

Definitely an iconic film, Casper takes me back to my childhood for it was the film that made me unafraid of ghosts as a small kid.

11. Coraline (2009)

Giphy

Coraline is my favorite kind of animation movie - stop motion. This one has it all: fantasy, horror, thriller, dark humor. What are you waiting for?

12. Corpse Bride (2005)

I can't believe someone could accidentally marry a corpse but here is the movie for it.

It's great, go watch it.

13. Halloweentown (1998)

A family movie about Halloween that is more about the nostalgia of watching it instead of the actual plot but still, it's a Halloween movie to watch.

For those of you who are easily frightened by all kinds of horror movies, finding a film you'll enjoy is a difficult and arduous task—which is why I did the work for you.

Now go forth and enjoy your Halloween!

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.
