11 Throwback Halloween Movies For College Students
YouTube

As a self-proclaimed movie buff, I take pleasure in guiltily re-watching many of my favorite Halloween movies from when I was a kid. Here are a few highly recommenced features that if you were a 90's-early 2000's kid, you remember and should watch this October.

1. Halloweentown

One of my personal favorites, the first one at least. The second is alright. The third was interesting. The fourth they changed the actress for the main character, so weird. But the first one is a classic.

2. Twitches

Another Disney Channel classic. Twin+witches=Twitches. Who would have thought?

3. Casper

Was the ghost-young girl love story a little bit creepy? Yes. Did we enjoy it and think it was adorable? Also yes. It's part of growing up.

4. Haunted Mansion


Though it wasn't super popular, it was pretty dang cool. And Eddie Murphy aka Donkey/Mushu, duh. Plus, I really wanted to drive a car through the glass window too.

5. Gremlins


These little guys were freaky as all get out but my goodness weren't they also adorable! I feel so conflicted when watching this film.

6. The House of Mouse Halloween Special


Though not a full fledged film, this special was epic because it was all our favorite Disney villains taking over Mickey's club. It was awesome.

7. Corpse Bride


No I did not include Nightmare Before Christmas because I personally consider that a Christmas movie not a Halloween one. But Corpse Bride is a lovely tale by Tim Burton that is well worth the watch.

8. Scooby Doo


And by this I meant the two live action films that are absolutely hilarious to re-watch as an adult. The dialogue and concepts are just ridiculous but so much fun to relive.

9. Monster House

This film honestly freaked me out as a kid. I could hardly look at the squatter house on the corner after watching it.

10. The Addams Family Values


Who doesn't love the Addams family? They're creepy and cooky. They're just plain weird and they revel in it.

11. Hocus Pocus


Probably my second favorite Halloween film this classic is like none other. It's so much fun to watch and sing along to.


So there's my recommendations for what you can watch this October.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
