10 Movies That Completely Terrified You As A Kid, And Probably Still Do

By Tanya
I know there were a lot of classic horror movies that came out when we were young, but you know what else there were? A whole bunch of movies disguised as these feel-good children's movies or cartoons that were safe for kids that ended up scarring us for life. A lot of movies out there that had these sequences in them that haunted our nightmares, crossing our minds when we were trying to go to bed. Then there were others that gave us a grim realistic view of the mortality of us all, and let me tell you, we weren't

By Tanya
When you were a kid, chances are you dreamed of living in the worlds of your favorite cartoons. They were wacky, colorful, and full of crazy characters, all of which were a true delight to watch.

An App Has Discovered How To Help Us Sleep Better, And The Answer Is 90s Movies

By Tanya
These days it feels as though we are all in a constant state of exhaustion. No matter what, we all seem to be more tired than we'd like to be. Whether it's bad sleeping habits, interrupted sleep, or just simply being too busy, the fact of the matter is a lot of us who are in our late 20s and early 30s are just tired. Why are we so tired though? Well, scientists claim that it's because we aren't sleeping well enough, but one company has found a way to combat that and it's kind of wild. The self-care app

By Tanya
Mr. Feeny will forever be a character that every 90s kid cherishes. He was the teacher. The one teacher we all wished we could have in real life, the one teacher who could have given us helpful advice, and above all else, he was the one teacher who would have been the best neighbor ever.William Daniels was a legend and an icon long before Boy Meets World, because he was the voice of KITT in Knight Rider. Not only that, but he won two Emmy awards for his role on St. Elsewhere. Daniels is a talented man, and his

'Overboard' May Be The Best Rom-Com Of All Time, But We've Still Got Questions

By Tanya
If you had to pick one Hollywood couple whose love you believed in stronger than any others, chances are you're going to say Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. The two first met on the set of The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band in 1968, but Russell was too young for Hawn to be interested in him (he was only 16 at the time, she was 21). They met again in 1984 on the set of Swing Shift, and this time they hit it off. Both were divorced, both had children, and shortly after they reunited they fell in

Clueless Is Getting A Remake And All We Can Say Is "As If"

By Tanya
So, remakes are everywhere, they are inescapable. Every time you turn around there's another one in the works, and while it's exhausting, there's not a whole lot we can do to stop it. But sometimes they go too far.The newest remake to get the green light is one that we never expected. One that could not possibly be improved. One that is too glorious to even pretend like there is any room for improvement. This time, the newest classic that Hollywood has decided to remake is none other than the iconic teen comedy Clueless. AS IF. Paramount PicturesI know

5 Secrets Of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' To Get You Ready For The Midnight Jamboree

By Tanya
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of those classics that we all remember watching as young children. It was about as spooky as we could all handle at the time, and as a requirement every Halloween season. There weren't as many Halloween movies as there were Christmas movies, so it was nice to have something to watch. The movie is an oldie but a goody, dating back to 1949. The animated movie was shorter than other Disney movies you remember, but there was a reason for that that we'll get to later. They managed to make this movie something

His Small Part In 'Ferris Bueller' Became Iconic, But Where Is Ben Stein Now?

By Tanya
The words "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller?" can only be read in one way, and with that simple, monotone delivery, a star was born. Ben Stein played the economics professor in the iconic John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and that role managed to launch his career in a way that you may not expect for someone with such a small part. Sure, he's on screen for less than five minutes, but it's the delivery you remember. Yes, obviously the other characters are more present, and you can remember some of the more iconic moments as well, but it's Stein's line

'Mannequin' Was One Of The Weirdest Movies Of The 80s, And We've Still Got Some Questions

By Tanya
I know that 80s movies are a category of their own. Sure, there are rom-coms and action movies, but then there are also 80s rom-coms and 80s action movies. They are different, they are unparalleled, and they are just better than other movies. Case in point: Mannequin. The outrageously bizarre 80s rom-com brings joy to all of our hearts (or at least those lucky enough to remember it) even though the premise is absolute bonkers. Here's the thing, I love this movie with my whole heart. I can probably quote the entire thing to you right now (I won't) but
