Hocus Pocus

Had to start off with a classic! This nostalgic flick will get you right in the spirit for Halloween.

Sixth Sense 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjS0-6NwundAhVq34MKHYITCd0QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftenor.com%2Fview%2Fhaley-joel-osment-isee-dead-people-sixth-sense-gif-11333995&psig=AOvVaw260q1m7js0G2TIP_N8AWVR&ust=1538630148070507

This is a classic spooky tale. The eirie factor will stay with you even after the credits role.

Nightmare on Elm Street 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwinye7ixOndAhXj8YMKHcFECPsQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fitunes.apple.com%2Fca%2Fmovie%2Fa-nightmare-on-elm-street%2Fid308625280&psig=AOvVaw3fjBKVSnhwJJhYh6Pi5eCT&ust=15386307968070

If that picture alone isn't enough to give you nightmares, I don't know what is.

Halloweentown

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi5v5f5xundAhUE6oMKHVmxBV8QjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.popsugar.com%2Fsmart-living%2FVisit-Real-Halloweentown-38349055&psig=AOvVaw0j_LNp_0D_0mO9-VZOM_1n&ust=1538631423430958

My personal favorite, this movie and its sequels were a Disney Channel staple around Halloween.

Scream

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwit-5aQx-ndAhVDxoMKHe_LBWMQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FScream-Face-Mask-with-Shroud-Halloween-Party-One-Size-Movie-Costume-Fancy-Dress-%2F112549628976&psig=AOvVaw2iM-j67Z4dqYyyE-QoF9rQ&ust=1538631492165499

Odds are you'll see this mask out while trick-or-treating, might as well know the story behind it.

Casper the Friendly Ghost

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjmkZKix-ndAhUK7YMKHTYDBToQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F420382946437817228%2F&psig=AOvVaw2Zr6IqKy4Nn5LyesBxe56R&ust=1538631530741862

A feel-good story about a friendly ghost- what more can you want from a Halloween film?

Nightmare Before Christmas

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj9yLazx-ndAhVs_IMKHS_HCbQQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopdisney.com%2Fthe-nightmare-before-christmas-lunch-plates-1485433&psig=AOvVaw1ptVJtkUSWKgLJanWILn11&ust=1538631570222033

Highly contested- I know. Is it a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Well, I like to say por que no los dos?

It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwi4nZ_Ix-ndAhVp9YMKHfC4DbYQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgrantland.com%2Fhollywood-prospectus%2Fits-the-great-pumpkin-charlie-brown-running-diary-an-unblinking-journey-of-autumnal-despair%2F&psig=AOvVaw0RlXNo2NzhYGvbbrmIAJGI&ust=1538631612186544

This. Is. A. CLASSIC.

The Conjuring

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjQpKm_xundAhWn8YMKHZ1RAGYQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonpost.com%2Fnews%2Fvolokh-conspiracy%2Fwp%2F2015%2F08%2F22%2Fa-warning-about-government-warnings%2F&psig=AOvVaw25XbIKTzuyl7gdWX5af2xr&ust=1538631323827513

My friend literally left the theater in tears. Watch with caution!

Twitches

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjL9Z6rxundAhVqw4MKHVgqAysQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.imdb.com%2Ftitle%2Ftt0467421%2F&psig=AOvVaw2-iFURudjMSRUxWz-qWh65&ust=1538631280909301

If the last item is too much for you, enjoy this film about the importance of sisterly love and (bonus!) magic.

Insidious 

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjNvsqNxundAhWEzIMKHZaNDGUQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rottentomatoes.com%2Fm%2Finsidious%2F&psig=AOvVaw1pYgdAKAtgOWnkGsPECqdm&ust=1538631220960803

A great flick for the spooky time of October, when the spirit world reportedly mixes with ours.

It's all in the name- need I say more?

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
