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.

All movie descriptions were taken from IMDb. If this is your first time hearing of these movies, these descriptions do not do these movies justice. They really are worth watching. They're also not in any particular order.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
