Ranking The Halloween Movie Series
http://bloody-disgusting.com

With Halloween right around the corner, what's a better article than this? I cannot completely remember but this was one of the very first horror movies I watched at six or seven (I watched horror, not Disney!). I've always been a fan of this series as I pretty much enjoy almost all of them.

Ranking them the same way I ranked Friday the 13th, I'm going from the worst to best. Once more, this is my personal opinion on these movies and not like this is an official thing. This is just coming from a girl who has watched these movies more than once and for most of her lifetime. Oh and FYI, they are making another one with the talented Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role as Laurie. Yes, we are all in for a treat.

Whether you decide to watch a marathon Halloween or before, have fun ranking them in the order you wish. Until then, let's let Mr. Michael Myers have his fun.

10) Halloween II (2009)

Sigh, where do I even begin with this movie? Fair warning, this movie is one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen. The only redeeming scene is a characters death which I am not spoiling. Fans have criticized Rob Zombie (Yes, the singer) for his movies and there is a good reason why. The movie picks up after his remake but there are so many loose ends that don't match the last. I'm telling you now that you are in for a ride and change if you haven't seen this...

9) Halloween (2007)

Surprise, I ranked Rob Zombie's Halloween series last. I myself hate these movies despite having a few moments that surprise. Instead of leaving Michael this mysterious creeper, we get almost an hour of his childhood and guess what? It's as typical as it gets. He's bullied, has a terrible home life, etc. I get it, stuff like that happens but why couldn't we have seen something different? Anyway, you can either love or hate this, the characters, even Michael himself considering he is much different as well.

8) Halloween Resurrection

I know this is a movie that everyone really hates in this series. I'm not going to say it's the best and I'm not going to say it is the worst. The use of technology developed and into this movie as it is now portrayed as a reality show. I know people are shocked and mad at the beginning sequence but hey,we all should have known it would happen at some point. I hate to say it but adding rapper Busta Rhymes into it was fun and I love his famous trick or treat line...Sue me.

7) Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers

So this movie has been titled the curse because the production was a disaster for this film. Now by the sixth film in any franchise, it usually doesn't become a miracle and the greatest in the series. While this has it's flaws, it really isn't that terrible. Michael to me in this is very scary considering that the man playing him is pretty built. The whole Cult of Thorn thingy is everyone's pet peeve because the entire time you're like what...

6) Halloween III

Everyone's favorite Halloween to complain about considering that it doesn't have Michael Myers in it. Boo hoo, this movie honestly isn't bad though I don't call it part of the series. Instead, we have an Irishman (Correct me if I'm wrong) making masks to kill children on Samhain. Come on, it came out in the 1980's so of course it has to be a little cheesy.

5) Halloween V: The Revenge of Michael Myers

A movie that people complain about yet I can't figured out the big disappointment. Jamie returns from the fourth (Read below) and once again is running away from her Uncle. Danielle Harris does a great job once again and I get that the man in black makes no sense but wait! We get all of our answers in the curse. So what makes this movie terrible? Can someone please let me know?

4) Halloween IV: The Return of Michael Myers

If I could have tied this with number three I really would have. I never tie anything so I decide to put four at four. I always have a soft spot for this because of little Jamie and her relationship with her foster sister Rachel. My sister is older than I and we are close, it really reminded me of us when I watch this. Moving on from my personal life, I feel this really captures the creepiness just like the original did. Besides that, Michael is trying to kill his niece who happens to be in elementary school. Talk about hating the holiday the rest of your life.

3) Halloween H2O

As I type this, I literally am watching this movie. I may be half way through but what are the odds right? I always loved this one and that is the obvious reason I ranked it to number three. Even though it ignored movies four through six, it really didn't have any loose ends like many were expecting. Everyone wanted a face off between brother and sister, we got it alright. The way they have everything makes sense is great and I watched this at least a couple times a year.

2) Halloween (1978)

Were you surprised when you saw the poster? Are you surprised that I'm ranking the very first movie to spot number two? I'm sure you are because people usually put the very first movie in spot one. I do love 1978's Halloween, don't get me wrong. The way Michael is lurking around used to creep me out when I was little especially the way he stalks the three girls. I personally just have to rank another one much higher.

1) Halloween II (1980)

Started from the top and now we're here. Halloween II bumps the original out of place and takes the spot in my heart. I swear to you that I watch this movie way too often and it's actually sad. With the movie picking right up from the first and ending up in a hospital, there is something about it that I just love. I wouldn't want to be in a hospital at night with a deranged killer stalking the halls for me.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
