10 Underrated Horror Movies

As the cooler weather approaches, you're probably more likely to snuggle up inside and watch a movie than anything else. There's nothing better than psycho killers to get your dream girl to sit close to you on your first date. If you're at a loss for what to watch, here are some solidly underrated flicks (in no particular order) that need some love and appreciation. So grab your blankies and candy of choice, and prepare to be scared.

1. Would You Rather

I found this gem when I was scouring Netflix for a good scare and was pleasantly surprised. If you liked the twisted games that were played in Saw, then you will enjoy the equally disturbing antics of Would You Rather. Oh rich people, always killing people for fun.

2. Horns

My boyfriend introduced me to Horns and at first I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but I agreed to watch it because it has my homeboy Daniel Radcliffe as the main character. Radcliffe receives supernatural powers that differ greatly from his role as Harry Potter, and seeks out his girlfriend’s killer.

3. Dead Silence

Did anyone say…dummies? Oh, well you should have, because this film includes some iconically creepy dolls. This film is sure to keep you on your toes, and the twist at the ending will certainly surprise you.

4. Evil Dead

Whether you watch the original or the remake, you can’t miss with this one. Creepy books and friends in the woods…where could they go wrong? This movie is the gift that keeps on giving, because whenever you think it’s over, something new and horrifying pops up.

5. Grave Encounters

I got to encounter this treat for the first time with my best friend and her older brother. The movie is shot found footage style and details an endeavor to discover evidence of paranormal activity in Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital. Grab some popcorn and your best pal, because you’re in for a treat.

6. Angels and Demons

This is probably one of my favorite movies to date, and I was surprised by how few people in my life have seen it. This thriller depicts some gruesome murders that are backed by a fantastic storyline, as symbolist Robert Langdon works to prevent a terrorist attack on the Vatican.

7. Wrong Turn


What’s a horror movie list without cannibals? Wrong Turn takes you back into the woods with your friends (so I guess camping with your friends really isn’t the best vacation…) while inbred mountain men who, not unlike the average player, only want them for their bodies hunt them down.

8. Stonehearst Asylum

Mental Asylums are some of my favorite horror movie plotlines, and Stonehearst Asylum does not fail to hold a place in my heart. Dr. Edward Newgate quickly finds out that not everything is as it seems, and finds his colleagues treatment of the patients to be less than humane.

9. House At The End Of The Street

One of the selling points for me when the movie came out was that the love of my life, Jennifer Lawrence, is the main character. The movie has a compelling plotline and a surprise twist that alone is enough of a reason to stick it out.

10. The Cabin In The Woods

This movie is a fan favorite among my friends. Yes, we know it’s a horror comedy, but I still think that it should find a place on this list due to how many times we have seen it. It’s one of those movies that you need to know is not intended to be taken as a serious horror flick, but is enjoyable from start to finish.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
