2 Best Scary Movies for Halloween By Brandon and Alex Manley Halloween (1978) If you like slasher movies, you must see the original Halloween made in 1978, and directed by John Carpenter. This movie s plot is pretty simple: Michael Myers murders his sister when he is six years old and is sent to a mental hospital. Fifteen years later, he escapes to go on another killing spree in his hometown. IT (2017) If you like blood and gore and physiological horror then you should see the IT remake made in 2017 directed by Andres Muschietti and based off the book by Stephen King. IT is about a monster who has been around for centuries that looks like a deranged clown who eats kids in the sewers and persuades people to do bad things to each other. The Conjuring (2013) If you like supernatural horror then this movie, directed by James Wan, is for you. This movie is based on purportedly true events of paranormal investigators Lauren and Ed Warren. The film is ripe with supernatural threats including mysterious sounds and a possession by a menacing spirit. Friday the 13 th Part 2 (1981) If you like blood and gore and Jason Voorhees as the killer, then you should watch Friday the 13th, Part 2, released on April 30, 1981, and directed by Steve Miner. This movie picks up five years after the original movie with a new killer, new setting, and new victims. Halloween brings chilling activities to the area Halloween has roots in Celtic culture by Marshal Seppala and Richie Espinoza Halloween originated in the Celtic lands and was called Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The Celts believed that it was a time when the boundary between the land of the living and the land of the dead was blurred. They celebrated their New Years on the first of November, because it showed the end of summer and beginning of harvest. They had things called sacred bonfires to keep them warm throughout the long, dark winter. After the Romans conquered their lands they renamed it to Pomona, to honor the goddess of fruits and trees. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, anything superstitious or religious was taken out of Halloween along with all the frightening and grotesque things about it. by Victoria Hopper, Morgan Faas, & McKenzie Faas For Halloween fans, there are still several opportunities to enjoy the season. Many of the attractions have been running for much of October, but some still are open to fear-seekers. DWU in Mitchell is hosting a haunted house open October 26, 27, 31, and November 2 & 3.

The Cheerleaders had a few competitions that came with unexpected obstacles. They were down a cheerleader but that didn t stop the girls from trying their best. They worked hard at in and out of practice to prepare for the State Tournament in Brandon. The Cheer team competed at the state meet with their full squad on October 19th. They had a very clean performance, one of the best this season. As a result the girls placed 5th in small group and 12th overall. The girls and coaches put so much time into this two minute and thirty second performance. Overall they only perform a total of 20 minutes in a season. From July to October they had sacrificed themselves, through black eyes and broken bones but this didn t stop them. We are proud of our cheerleaders and wish the sideline cheerleaders luck on their seasons. The team enjoys a moment before they play one of their last home games.
