5 Christmas Movies That Are Actually Creepy

You might think these are Christmas classics. One of them might even be your favorite Christmas movie ever. However, as a child, they scared me half to death. Here's my list of creepy Christmas movies:

1. "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town"

Sure, we will be singing "put one foot in front of the other" for eternity. However, the characters freaked me out throughout this entire film. I just remember disliking this movie very much as a kid.


2. "Gremlins"

Still not sure how this is considered a Christmas movie. This movie is terrifying and you should not let your children watch this because they will grow up scarred for life, like me.


3. "The Year Without A Santa Claus"

The Snow Miser/Heat Miser song is, for sure, a classic, though the characters were extremely creepy to watch. Watch with caution.


4. "The Nightmare Before Christmas"


I have to admit: I have never actually watched this movie before because I was too scared to. To be honest I'm still too scared to watch it. I never want to find out how this movie related to Christmas, ever. I have no desire to ever see this movie.

5. "Rudolph's Shiny New Year"

Again, I get it, it's considered a classic, but it's also very creepy. The characters were just too old-fashioned for my liking as a child.


Sorry to crush your Christmas spirit. We still have "Elf" to rely on, though.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. 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?

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
