Scary Movies To Binge Watch With Your Bestie

Nightmare Before Christmas

This Tim Burton classic is a must-watch and always will be. Jack Skellington, the Oogie Boogie Man, a sewn together Sally, ghost dog Zero, and more frightful characters interplay in Jack's plot to take over the role of Santa. The best Halloween music comes from this movie! Kidnap the Sandy Claws, This is Halloween, and the Oogie Boogie Song are all from this iconic movie.

In the Tall Grass

This movie is based off of Stephan King and his son's novel. The main characters are drawn into a field of tall grass by each other's voices stuck there from a time loop, with no way out. This movie requires your full attention and will live rent-free in your mind forever after. If there is anything you need to remember when watching this film, it is that the grass knows all.

Midsommar

This film is slow-moving, filled with floral aesthetics, and horror that creeps up on you. Main character Dani travels to Sweden with a group of friends to experience the Harga, village people that practice traditional living, and their once in a lifetime festival. The groups experiences go from observing beautiful traditional practices to being sacrificed in this cult movie.

In this Rob Zombie film, a group traveling on Halloween become the victims of a game in which they must fight different killers to survive to the next round. Old rich people bet on the players and change their odds each round. While the premise of this movie gives off Hunger Games vibes, the gore is certainly much more intense.

Jennifer's Body

Megan Fox's mega hotness is capitalized off of in this gory high school film. After being sacrificed by a boy band, Jennifer turns into a man eating killing machine. I love the y2k aesthetics and girl power in this film.

House of 1,000 Corpses

A group of friends pick up a hitchhiker on the night of Halloween. She takes them to her house after their car breaks down. After experiencing the odd family of the house, they think they are being allowed to leave. Until they are kidnapped for some murderous fun. Being another Rob Zombie film, House of 1,000 corpses contains plenty of mind bending gore.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

What It’s Like To Be A Strong Woman, As Told By Blair Waldorf

Queen B sums it up for us.

Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
