H is for Halloween Dance The Halloween Dance was one of the best Dances I have ever went to. The Halloween Dance was a dance celebrated on the last weekend of October on Friday.

Every year, Halloween is different when it comes to the costumes and outfits that are considered "in" and "out." This year, zombies - or "walkers," as they're known on the AMC series "The Walking Dead" - are all the rage, while Elsa from the computer-generated animated feature film "Frozen" is yesterday's news. But one thing that every Halloween has in common is candy - lots and lots of candy. And the only way kids can get their hands on their precious loot is by going from door to door. That…

When I went to the YWCA afterschool program in my old school, my best friend Simone went with me every single day. We did fun activities there like play outside, watch scary movies, and doing our homework. One day at the YWCA I’ve seen a really scary movie but I forgot what it is called so I’ll just explain it. So it’s about a family and the mom whose name is Charlotte she has a new born baby. Then for some reason Bloody-Mary kept on bothering her family. One day when Charlotte was putting…

as the entire cast is full of primo talent, with everyone hitting their comical mark with excellence. Major props need to be given to writers James Roday and Todd Harthan for giving birth to a film that oozes and congeals quick wit, dark comedy and horror together so wonderfully. Also, props given to psycho Lily Cole for having a righteous cameltoe.…

Silence Drip, drip, drip tears fall into my lap "I don't want to be here, I just don't" I mutter to myself. Nobody knows were I am what am I going to do?
