19 Classics To Channel Your Halloween Spirit
MTV News

1. It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)

Who doesn't love Lionel's insistence that the Great Pumpkin exists despite what everyone else thinks?

2. Labyrinth (1986)

An oldie but a goodie. Definitely on the darker side, but sure does get you to think twice about what you wish for.

3. Beetlejuice (1988)

My stepsister used to scare me half to death saying "beetlejuice" three times, so this one holds a special place in my heart.

4. Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)

The sweetest movie with the most lovable ghost dog (I really want a Zero of my own).

5. Hocus Pocus (1993)

How could anyone not be a fan of this one? Yes, the witches' pursuance of killing children to become immortal is frightening, but Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker are unforgettable.

6. Casper (1995)

Casper the Friendly Ghost says it all.

7. Halloweentown (1998)

The first iconic Disney Channel halloween movie. After seeing this, I couldn't help but wish my grandma was also a witch who would whisk me away to Halloweentown.

8. The Little Vampire (2000)

Tony is adorable, not to mention the actress who plays Anna is the same person who plays Susan in the Narnia movies (a series which I love). The movie is a little odd, but in a charming, quirky way.

9. Halloween Town II: Kalabar's Revenge (2001)

Is anything really ever as good as the original? Although it's not my favorite, I have to watch the Halloweentown story continue.

10. Monsters, Inc (2001)

A great Disney Pixar movie that shows there is so much more to monsters (people) than being scary (who others expect them to be).

11. The Haunted Mansion (2003)

Eddie Murphy is one of the greatest comedians of all time, which should be enough to get you to watch this fantastic and enchanting thriller.

12. Halloweentown High (2004)

Yes, the Halloweentown saga is pushing it, but I can't get enough of Grandma Aggie's sass.

13. Corpse Bride (2005)

A slightly dark and twisty tale, but nonetheless enchanting and endearing.

14. Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie (2005)

I'm a little bias being a huge Winnie the Pooh fan, but it's perfect Halloween film for all ages.

15. Twitches (2005)

We FINALLY have some badass witches of color! Seriously, I love all these movies, but this is the only one (besides Haunted Mansion) who has protagonists that aren't white. In addition to that awesome progression, Tia and Tamera Mowry are amazing in everything they star in.

16. Return to Halloweentown (2006)

Okay, I admit, I am a fan of this movie, and Sara Paxton did do a pretty great job, but it's just not the same without Kimberly J. Brown as Marnie.

17. Twitches Too (2007)

This is a quality sequel. Go twitches! Go twitches! Go twitches!

18. Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Sweet, funny, engaging and just all-around amazing! How many children-oriented movies can you say that about?

19. Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)

BEST. SEQUEL. EVER. If it's even possible, and it just might be better than original.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
