Classic Halloween Movies We All Love
graphiti-app

We all know there are those classic Halloween movies that you just have to see every year. Whether they're the wholesome, family type or the chilling to the bone scary ones, we love and cherish them all. Of course, this list is subjective, but I think that for the most part, we can agree that these are classic Halloween movies in most people's eyes and hearts. Although some would probably add other movies to this list too, I doubt many you remove the ones on it.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection.

Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read."
