There are great movies from the '90s and 2000s to watch now! From comedy to horror, watch a movie a week (or two) for the full Halloween experience before the wonderful day comes. Here are 20 grand movies, old and new, to light up your nights with laughs and shivers. Between "Hocus Pocus" and "Sweeney Todd" and, of course, "Charlie Brown," there is fun for every age.

1. Hocus Pocus

Fun filled adventure of three children who awaken three evil witches.


2. Young Frankenstein

Wonderful comedy about a man who creates a monster after he realizes he might not hate his family history.


3. Nightmare Before Christmas

A skeleton decides that he should take over Christmas and it rapidly becomes out of hand.


4. Live Action Scooby Doo

"Scooby Doo" with real people and a really funny crisis is a great monster mystery for the Halloween gang to enjoy!

5. Corpse Bride

A man running from a risen corpse bride who wants to marry him. Tim Burton films are always great this time of year

6. Edward Scissor Hands

Young Johnny Depp stars in this classic outsider story of a boy who lives forever with long scissors for hands.

7. Dark Shadows

Another great Johnny Depp film, this one about a vampire living forever with a crazy family some only out for power others for love.

8. Charlie Brown: Halloween

A wonderful Charlie Brown classic that every person should watch at least once in their lives!!

9. Scary Movie

Hilarious, satirical comedy about other horror films

10. Beetlejuice

Wonderful music and hilarious trials for two ghosts learning about their home being taken from them. As they find a man they think will help them keep their sanity, their lives, or rather deaths, take an even crazier turn.

11. Adams Family

A wonderful family quite different than the rest of the world and their fun with life.

12. Adams Family Values

With many plots, this is a great movie to watch whether you know the Adams family or not. Wednesday Adams goes to summer camp with normal people and craziness ensues. Mauritania Adams has a baby and everyone seems to want to kill it.


13. Casper

A wonderful comedy about a nice ghost and his three abusive brothers

14. & 15. Ghostbusters

Both the old and new are worth watching.

16. Mask

Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz are wonderful in this amazing comedy about a man finding a mask that transforms him into a crazy cartoon.

17. The Book of Life

A wonderful tale of love in the afterlife.

18. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

If you want to watch some killing of vampires and the life of a teen girl than enjoy some amazing Buffy time!!

19. Practical Magic

The three witches in modern society decide it's a great plan to bring a guy back from the dead, except when they do the spell a demon comes to life instead of the guy they wanted

20. Sweeney Todd

A dramatic horror, musical, about a barber's revenge on the evil Judge Turpin (not for children).

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. 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.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. 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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
