Although most people would probably start this list off with classic Halloween movies, I have chosen to go another route. I didn’t include just Halloween films or even just monster movies. I also included anything that personally scares me.


10) Godzilla

The cult classic about a giant lizard ravaging Tokyo was so successful it’s been remade and remade repeatedly. The fear isn’t as strong for me in this one, I love watching the older versions with the horrible English translations, but otherwise, I put Godzilla on this list because of his creature recognizability. Everyone knows Godzilla and if they don’t they should.


9) Alien

The Alien creatures in Alien are by far some of the strangest things I've ever seen. I don’t get scared really, just grossed out with this one. They way they latch on and suck out your face is just way too much for me.


8) Tremors

This movie freaked me out. I was terrified something was coming up from under the floor. Might have had to do with the fact that I watched this movie when I was way too young to be watching something like it. Overall, Tremors is one that just can’t flow for me.


7) The Creature from the Black Lagoon

The original (now classic) swamp monster. For the time period, it was originally made in, this film has some interesting graphical aspects. Overall any monster that’s coming for me means I’m running the other way.


6) Little Shop of Horrors

Carnivorous plants anyone? As a kid, this totally wigged me out big time. I did not even know that such a thing really existed until after seeing a bit of this film.


5) Lake Placid

No, no, no, no, no! Do I need to repeat this one? I just cannot handle this movie. To be honest, I saw part of this when I was about 13. Needless to say, the giant human-eating crocodile was never viewed by my eyes again.


4) Jaws

Sharks are cool! But not when they eat people. Just saying. Jaws is one of those movies that people love or hate. For me, it comes down to the blood. I can watch shows and movies with bloody scenes, but seeing all that red floating in the ocean was a bit of an overkill. Get it! Overkill! Anyways, if you love sharks or gore, this is your movie monster.


3) Frankenstein

I hold a special fondness for Frankenstein. It’s really not his fault he's so big and looks so strange and eats… well, you get the point. Frankenstein is a classic movie monster. So classic he’s been made into new films, recreated as a cartoon for kids, and even featured as a McDonald’s toy at one point.


2) Dracula

I want to suck your blood! Another cult classic, Dracula is one of my all-time favorite movie monsters. Vampires have been a part of pop culture for decades for decades, but nobody does it like Dracula. Other vampire based films may come and go, but Dracula will always remain king of the vampire cult. Truthfully, my favorite rendition of Dracula is Gary Oldman’s performance in the 1992 film.


1) Pennywise

Due to the recent IT remake, Pennywise the creepy clown had to take my number 1 spot. Although I don’t fear clowns like many other people, my mom included, I do see why Pennywise is a horror of a monster. To me, the fear of Pennywise comes not from the fact that he’s a clown, but more from the fact that he just POPS up at you.


So, there you have it. My list of my top 10 Movie Monsters. I know there are much more I didn’t include on this list. That’s your job, my friends.

What is your creepiest, scariest, or strangest movie monster?

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.
