Hey Readers!

I wanted to do a fun article for Halloween rather than a poem or an open letter. Around this time of year, I watch a lot of Halloween movies. I've decided to place some of them (these are not all of them and in no particular order!) here; maybe one is your favorite too! I hope everyone has a safe, magical, and exciting Halloween!


Hocus Pocus (Rated: PG, 1993)


From Left: Kathy Najimy (Mary Sanderson), Bette Midler (Winifred Sanderson), and Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah Sanderson) as the witch sisters. variety.com

Teenager Max Dennison explores an old house with his little sister, Dani, and friend, Allison. A mishap causes him to free three witches from 1600s Salem. This movie is filled with music, humor, and spells abound!


Van Helsing (Rated: PG-13, 2004)


From Left to Right: Hugh Jackman (Gabriel Van Helsing) and Kate Beckinsale (Anna Valerious). variety.com

Gabriel Van Helsing is one of the most formidable slayers around. His skills take him to Transylvania to assist Anna in maintaining her family's bloodline against the infamous vampire, Dracula. This movie is action-packed and filled with legendary figures of lore.


Beetlejuice (Rated: PG, 1988)


From Left: Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice), Geena Davis (Barbara Maitland), and Alec Baldwin (Adam Maitland)time.com

After a couple die in a car accident, they are confronted with a new family moving into their home. Both are determined to scare them away and team up with an odd spirit who goes by the name "Beetlejuice." This pick is music, comedy, and a little spooky all in one!


The Addams Family (Rated:PG-13, 1991)


From Left: Christopher Lloyd (Uncle Fester) and Anjelica Huston (Morticia Addams)imdb.com

The Addams Family is greeted by a visit from Uncle Fester, long-lost brother of patriarch Gomez. All is well until the family's matriarch, Morticia, sees signs that their guest may be an impostor. If you aren't familiar with the Addams family, get ready for plenty of dark charm and humor!


The Nightmare Before Christmas (Rated: PG, 1993)


Chris Sarandon and Danny Elfman lend their voices to Jack Skellington as he speaks and sings (respectively) to the citizens of Halloween.unilad.co.uk

Jack Skellington is the king of Halloween and of the various spooky citizens of his town. When the forlorn scare master finds himself in a world unknown, the chance to make Christmas frightful is too good to pass up. One of my absolute favorites that will leave you singing and entranced from beginning to end!

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
