Must Watch Disney Halloween Movies

The dancing pumpkin man circulating his way around the Internet marks the beginning of another Halloween season. As the spooky holiday comes closer, the pressure to beat your costume from last week weighs down. It was so much easier as a child, just heading to the party store to pick out one of the coolest costumes being sold. Thanks to Disney though, it is easy to revert back to your childish ways while enjoying these must watch movies of the season.

1. Halloweentown


I do not care what anyone says, this is the best Disney Channel Original Halloween movie. Hocus Pocus can (and will be) #2, but this takes the crown. This perfect Halloween town comes out with several sequels after over the years with the characters growing up as I did. A fall never passed by where I did not hope to find myself whisked away to immerse myself fully in their fictional down.

2. Hocus Pocus


Does this need an explanation? I mean even Disney World has a special stage show and fireworks attributed to this move. Case closed.

3. The Haunted Mansion


Eddy Murphy. A ride in Disney. Floating head in a crystal ball. Need I say more?

4. Tower of Terror


I don't know about you, but this movie legitimately scared me when I watched it. Maybe because I was young or because I have a low tolerance for horror, but to me, this is a SCARY Halloween movie. Plus, 13-story drop ride in Disney? Count me in.

5. The Nightmare Before Christmas

This claymation film is special. It can be considered a Halloween AND a Christmas movie. HOW COOL IS THAT?! Taking place in a Halloween town, poor Jack Skeleton wants to bring some Christmas spirit. Complete with a romantic involvement and all, this 90s Disney movie should be a staple of your Halloween movie viewing.

6. Twitches

Am I the only one who remembers the Disney Channel Original Series "Sister Sister"? Granted, no, it was not as popular as "That So Raven," "Lizzie McGuire," or "Kim Possible," but theseTia and Tamara were cool twins! And then they turned into witches and stared in this Disney Channel Original Movie?! I know this made me with I was a twin.

7. Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire, Don't Look Under the Bed, and Phantom of the Megaplex


Three other Disney Channel Original Movies required for viewing to ensure a successful fall season.

Whether you are waiting to enjoy the 13 Days to Halloween countdown or were already ready to start the Halloween move extravaganza as soon as the clock struck midnight on October 1, these nine movies are essentials.

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

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.
