October Madness: What Is The Best Halloween Movie?
Today I Found It

October is a month dedicated to movie marathons on nearly every channel throughout all of the 31 days. As kids of the 90s, we all have our personal favorites that aired on Disney Channel at the original movie time of 8:00 p.m. or 13 Nights Of Halloween on ABC Family, that is, before the whole Free Form situation took over. Those are the old corky movies that I miss as a child on Halloween, so I decided to bring back all of the old classics in a pool bracket to decipher the ultimate question; what is the top halloween movie of the 90s kids generation.

Using a random bracket generator online, the movies were randomly selected as pairs to compete, as shown below:

In order to get fair results rather than asking peers and friends to give me their opinion, I took the question to Twitter and ran the bracket tournament for a week breaking down the list of 16 movies to the final round of elimination. With a combination of all polls, over 2k votes were recorded in determining the best movie, and here are the results.

1. Halloweentown

2. Hocus Pocus

3. Return to Halloweentown

4. The Corpse Bride

5. Halloweentown High

6. Halloweentown 2

7. Twitches Too

8. Casper

9. Underwraps

10. The Adams Family

11. Don't Look Under The Bed

12. Phantom of the Megaplex

13. The Scream Team

14. Tower of Terror

15. Nightmare Before Christmas

16. Twitches

Enjoy the rest of your October and have a happy Halloween full of binge watching scary movies and acting like you enjoy candy corn more than you do. But stay tuned, December is just around the corner along with 25 Days of Christmas and more classic movie marathons that need some looking into to see which holiday movie will come out as best!

AI music threatens creativity

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
