5 Halloween Movies for the Weak Hearted
Laika

It’s Halloween and you know what that means? Halloween movie marathons! Well, if you’re anything like me, it’s dreadful to know that you might run into "Paranormal Activity" or possessed five-year-olds on television. Or you might just not like horror movies period. If you fit into either one of these categories, say no more, I got you. Down below are the 5 Halloween movies I recommend watching if you want nothing to do with horror.

1. "BeetleJuice"


If you like ghosts but don’t want to deal with the exorcism, then you should watch "Beetlejuice!" It’s about a couple who recently died and became ghosts. They began haunting their former home but they suck at it, so they call up this crazy guy named Beetlejuice. Eventually they figure out this guy is crazy but it is too late. It’s a hilarious story. And since it is directed by Tim Burton, it contains extreme elements of fantasy. A must watch. And please, whatever you do, don't say "Beetlejuice" three times!

2. "Paranorman"

Zombie movies may have you shaking in your boots, but I promise you this one will not. It’s another comedic movie and it’s quite heartwarming. It follows the story of Norman Babcock, who is a bit of an outcast because he can speak to the dead! Norman finds out in the movie that his town is haunted and he is the only one that can save it. Even with the comedic element, it still manages to tell an amazing story. It’s also a stop motion movie so if you like these, then you should definitely watch it!

3. "Halloweentown" (1-3)

My list wouldn’t be a list if I didn’t include the classic "Halloweentown" franchise. If you like ghosts, ghouls, witches, and skeletons than it’s time to take a trip! These movies follow Marnie Piper and her story of being a witch. It begins with Marnie learning that she is one to her starting her own high school program for the citizens of "Halloweentown." And I promise you, you will want to go to this imaginary place before you’re even done with the movies.

4. "Hocus Pocus"

Honestly, the first time that I’ve watched this movie was last year. I knew that it was hyped by others but when I finally saw it, I realized why it had such a reputation. This is another movie about witches, but these witches aren’t as nice as the ones in "Halloweentown." These are Salem witches and they are quite evil. They become resurrected by a teenage boy who must put an end to all of the terror they caused before sunrise. The witches' costumes are everything. And there's a musical number in the movie that's classic.

5. "Scooby-Doo"

I feel like this movie is highly underrated as a Halloween movie but I thoroughly enjoyed it. To be honest, I don’t care for a lot of cartoon turned live action movies but this one is the GOAT. It follows the Mystery Gang after they broke up, but the world needs them to take on yet another mystery and they must do this one together. It’s a funny movie and it also has a lot of underlying jokes for adults as well.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
