The Best Tim Burton Movies To Watch On Halloween

Or year round. No judgement here. Mainly because I'm doing the same thing.

The Best Tim Burton Movies To Watch On Halloween

Just in case you haven't caught on from my previous articles, I absolutely LOVE Halloween and Tim Burton. All of my favorite movies are his movies. So, with it being Halloween, I figured I'd write an article on "creepy" Tim Burton movies to watch to get us all in that spooky, gothic, Halloween kind of mood.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Favorite. Movie. Ever. And yes, it's a Halloween movie before you start to question it. It's a year round movie if you want it to be, and for me, it's definitely a year round movie.

Corpse Bride

"With this hand, I will lift you sorrows. Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine." Dear future husband, you better learn those vows.

Frankenweenie

I seriously think that this is the same dog in this movie, Corpse Bride, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. If it is, well played, Tim Burton. If not, don't tell me because I want to think that it is.

Edward Scissorhands

If there's anyone I love just as much as Tim Burton, it's Johnny Depp. By far. He is my favorite actor there is and I don't think Tim Burton could have chosen a better actor to portray these characters.

Sleepy Hollow

The one with Johnny Depp in it, obviously.

Sweeney Todd

I love love love this movie thanks to one of my friends from back home who constantly talked about it until I finally gave in and watched it. And I'm so glad I did.

From creepy Halloween kid movies, to the overload of Johnny Depp that we're all oh so thankful for, I think it's safe to say that Tim Burton knows what he's doing when it comes to making movies.

But seriously, this is how I picture a conversation between Tim Burton and Johnny Depp:

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
