So you're the type that likes to stay home on Halloween and watch scary movies? Did the debates not scare you enough? No?

Well lucky for you there is plenty of great horror cinema (besides Trump and Clinton) to watch while the door bell rings in the trick-or-treaters. Here are five awesome horror movies you should check out if you're looking to be frightened on Halloween, but unfortunately, they still aren't scary as the 2016 presidential election.

1. Halloween (1978)

Obviously, a movie called Halloween is a must-watch but it's also one of the best horror movies of all time. The first American slasher film, Halloween is as good as it gets for the slasher genre. The face of the inhumane Michael Myers and that piano theme will haunt your dreams forever.

2. The Exorcist (1973)

Another horror classic, another nightmare inducing theme song, and haunting images. I mean haunting. I'm talking devil possessed, head spinning 360 degrees haunting. You can't unsee that.

3. 28 Days Later (2002)

Caught up with The Walking Dead? Then you have to see the best zombie movie of all time. Yes, I said it. Cause it's true. 28 Days Later revolutionized the zombie genre forever. They can RUN!!

4. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

A chainsaw wielding cannibal in small town Texas feasts on college kids. Perfect.

5. Friday the 13th (1980)

The movie that ruined summer camps for most people: Jason Voorhees, his machete, and that awful hockey mask is another classic bloody horror story to watch in the dark.

If you do plan to stay home on Halloween to watch these or any other horror movie, then I strongly advise you don't watch them alone. It goes both ways for those going out for Halloween or those that are not: don't be stupid.

Hope you have a fearful and happy Halloween!

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.

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.
