10 Nostalgic Halloween Movies
4 not-so-scary movies to enjoy this Halloween

I know it’s only the beginning of October but Halloween is my favorite holiday, so I am already thinking of costume ideas, decorations, and preparing what movies I will be watching with my friends. As much as I like a good horror movie my personal favorites are the nostalgic Halloween movies I grew up watching, and every year I watch them again and again. So here is my list of the top 10 nostalgic Halloween movies you should watch this October.

1. Hocus Pocus

Three witches are resurrected, and surprise: one of them is Sarah Jessica Parker.


2. Halloweentown


For everyone whose favorite holiday is Halloween this is where you wanna live.


3. The Goonies

The Goonies were the reason I went treasure hunting in my backyard as a kid.


4. Gremlins


Remember having a Furby...this is not like that. Just remember not to feed them after midnight or get them wet.


5. Don't Look Under the Bed

Basically don't look under the bed, and after watching this movie you won't want to.


6. Haunted Mansion


Eddie Murphy is in this. That's all you need to know.


7. Harry Potter


A series that defined a generation.


8. Casper


Everyone's favorite friendly ghost.


9. The Addams Family


A black and white movie never looked so good.


10. The Nightmare Before Christmas

The soundtrack alone will keep you watching.

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.

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.
