With Halloween this month everyone is on the lookout for their favorite horror films that they watch every year. The TV screens are flooded with all the classic masked murderers, haunted houses and disturbing zombies. Of course, you can't forget about the witches, vampires, and ghosts that make up the 30 nights of Halloween countdowns.

What you really need though is some spine-chilling, bloodcurdling, hair-raising scary ass movies to really make the scariest month of the year terrifying.

Here are 10 not so basic scary movies, with trailers , to really frighten up your day:

1. Hush

What happens when you can't hear and you're all alone? Rated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, this thriller will leave you asking for more. Hush Trailer

2. Prisoners

When a father would do anything for his daughter, all bets are off. This movie not only has a killer cast starring Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhall, but a killer twist as well. Prisoners Trailer

3. Drag Me to Hell

Now I know that karma can really be a bitch after this one. This comedy horror will leave you very naked and afraid from its eye-covering flinches to its seat-jumping scares. Drag Trailer

4. The Others

If you are looking for a classic haunted house scary movie then this is for you. Starring Nicole Kidman, this haunting throwback film will fulfill your ghostly needs this Halloween. Others Trailer

If you are in the mood for some shaky camera documentary action these horror movies are for you. I bet you can guess what happens when a production crew locks themselves in a haunted hospital. Grave Trailer

Starring Paul Walker, this mysterious thriller will make you think twice before pranking someone. If you are up for it, you can binge watch all three road trip adventures. Ride Trailer

8. 28 Days Later

Looking for some zombie action, here is a classic for you. Imagine waking up 28 days after a viral outbreak and doing everything is survive. No worries there is also a 28 Weeks Later if this just isn't enough. 28 Trailer

Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
