Which Halloween Movie Matches Your Star Sign?

October is basically spooky season’s Super Bowl, which means it’s officially time to line up your Halloween movie playlist.

But if you’re staring at a million choices and can’t decide between witches, ghosts, or chainsaw-wielding maniacs, “People“ magazine has you covered. They teamed up with an astrologer to match every Zodiac sign with the perfect Halloween flick.

Whether you believe in horoscopes or just want an excuse to rewatch a classic, here’s what the stars picked for you:

  • Aries gets “Friday the 13th”, since this fiery sign matches the film’s nonstop intensity.
  • Taurus is paired with “Scream”, because calm, steady Sidney Prescott embodies their grounded Earth energy.
  • Gemini is all about “Hocus Pocus”. Mischief, witty banter, sibling chaos? That’s peak Gemini.
  • Cancer gets nostalgic with “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”. Tender, sentimental, and cozy—like a pumpkin spice latte for the soul.
  • Leo takes center stage with “Halloweentown”. The drama, the sparkle, the flair? Leo to a T.
  • Virgo aligns with “Ghostbusters”. Practical, resourceful, and obsessed with problem-solving. Who you gonna call? Virgo.
  • Libra is matched with “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. Bold, over-the-top, and a little scandalous—sounds about right.
  • Scorpio gets “Halloween”. It literally takes place in Scorpio season, and Michael Myers’ unstoppable energy is very on-brand.
  • Sagittarius gets the chaotic fun of “Beetlejuice”, a sign as wild and adventurous as the movie itself.
  • Capricorn connects with “The Addams Family”. Dark humor, gothic vibes, and Saturn-approved deadpan wit.
  • Aquarius lands “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. Quirky, innovative, and never satisfied with the ordinary—Jack Skellington could be their mascot.
  • Pisces gets dreamy with “Casper”. Whimsical, emotional, and just delusional enough to fall for a ghost.

So, if you’re ready to start spooky season right, maybe let your Zodiac sign pick the movie tonight. And hey, even if you don’t totally vibe with astrology, at least it’s a solid excuse to queue up a classic.

Sigourney Weaver Teases Possible “Alien” Comeback

Ellen Ripley’s death in “Alien 3” seemed like the end of the story . . . or so fans thought.

But according to Sigourney Weaver herself, there may be a path for Ripley’s return. (Or her clone, Ripley 8, from “Alien Resurrection?) Speaking at New York Comic Con, Weaver revealed that longtime “Alien” producer Walter Hill has written 50 pages outlining how her character could come back to the franchise.

Weaver said she’s already met with Disney (which now owns 20th Century Studios) to talk about the idea.

“[Walter] wrote 50 pages where Ripley would be now, and they are quite extraordinary,” she told the crowd. “I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but I have had a meeting with Fox, Disney, or whoever it is now.”

She admitted she never really felt the need to revisit Ripley’s story, saying, “I was always like, ‘Let her rest, let her recover.’” But Hill’s new take, she said, feels true to both Ripley and today’s world. “It’s very much about the society that would incarcerate someone who has tried to help mankind. She’s a problem to them, so she’s sort of tucked away.”

Weaver added that the new story begins in a powerful way and that she’s considering working with Hill to develop it further.

“It’s a very strong first 50 pages,” she said. “I’m thinking about working with Walter to see what the rest of the story would be.”

If this project moves forward, it would mark the first time Weaver has played Ripley in over two decades. But for fans, the idea of Weaver returning to the role that made her a sci-fi legend is enough to reignite the hope of seeing Ripley, battle-scarred, brilliant, and still fighting . . . one more time.

Couples Need to Have 54% in Common to Make It?

Some couples seem like they were separated at birth. Others make you wonder if one of them just lost a bet.

A new survey from the adult toy site LELO found 26% of people in relationships think they and their partner are polar opposites. But a solid 73% of us still believe opposites attract.

We’re talking the usual yin-and-yang combos: introvert meets extrovert, planner meets free spirit, dreamer meets spreadsheet warrior. When it works, each person brings something the other one lacks. You get balance, growth, and someone to blame when your “spontaneous weekend trip” costs $800.

But most people don’t go out looking for someone who hates all the same stuff they love. According to the people in the survey, the sweet spot for a successful relationship is 54% similar. That’s just enough overlap to share a Netflix account without fighting over every show.

You just need to match up on these core things

The things couples really need to match on are big ones: core values, family goals, and what counts as cheating (on a diet or each other). The least important things? Career ambitions, fitness routines, and hobbies. So, you might still make it even if one of you runs marathons while the other spends weekends on the couch binge-watching whatever Peacock is shoving down our throats that month.

You might not stay opposites forever

The good news: opposites may attract, but they don’t usually stay opposites. Over time, most couples say they’ve grown more alike than different. So, maybe love doesn’t just find a way… it finds the middle.

Taylor Swift’s “Graveyard of Heartbreak” Pops Up in Hoboken

Taylor Swift has inspired a lot of things—albums, tattoos, dissertations—but now she’s also the reason there’s a graveyard on a front porch in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Someone went all-in on their Swiftie creativity by turning their stoop into a spooky “Graveyard of Heartbreak,” complete with tombstones for six of Taylor’s famous exes: Harry Styles, Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Matty Healy, and Joe Alwyn.

Haunting season (Taylor’s Version) 👻🪦 Shoutout to the creative spooky souls who created this masterpiece! #taylorswift #halloween #TSTheLifeofaShowgirl #halloweendecor

♬ ootw x lwymmd – addi 🪩

If you’re wondering who didn’t make the cut, the missing names include Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Taylor Lautner, and Conor Kennedy (yes, that Kennedy—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s son).

The homeowners apparently had to draw the line somewhere, likely because fake headstones aren’t cheap, and let’s face it, Taylor’s breakup history could fill an entire cemetery.

The display also includes a skeleton Travis Kelce on one knee—well, one kneecap—proposing to a skeleton Taylor. And because no Swift-themed haunted scene would be complete without a little industry drama, there’s even a skeleton locked in a cage labeled “Scooter Braun.”

Locals say the display has become a mini tourist attraction, with fans stopping to snap selfies and laugh at the attention to detail. It’s safe to say this Hoboken house just became the ultimate shrine to Swift’s love life—and her ability to outlive every ex, metaphorically speaking.

The Best Halloween Song You’ve Never Heard Is by… Ryan Gosling?

If you’re tired of playing those spooky classics like “Monster Mash” and the “Ghostbusters” theme on loop, here’s the best Halloween song you’ve never heard – and it’s by Hollywood royalty.

Finding success with a holiday-specific song is exceedingly rare these days. Novelty songs like “Monster Mash” may have found their lane in the ’60s and ’70s. But in 2025? Yeah, that whole highway has pretty much been shut down.

The good news, though, is there’s no need to hope and pray for a new Halloween banger when there’s already one that’s locked and loaded and ready for your eardrums.

Hang on a second… that Ryan Gosling?

Yes, the same guy with three Oscar nods is also a pretty talented musician, often performing under the pseudonym “Baby Goose.”

You might remember his piano chops from “La La Land.” He actually learned to play for the movie… kinda. You’d be hard pressed to find any former Mouseketeer who hasn’t tickled the ivories at least a little. But when the movie was in pre-production, he was still wholly unqualified to play a jazz aficionado.

Most actors would have just used stand-in hands for the piano parts, but he made it happen on his own – with some help from a piano teacher. She worked with him for several months ahead of shooting, calling him a “very musical guy.”

But before he was pretending to be an accomplished jazz pianist or singing “I’m Just Ken” in “Barbie,” he’d already tested out his chops on a full album of Halloween-centric material.

Dead Man’s Bones

Ryan and Hollywood producer Zach Shields had bonded in the mid-2000s over their shared love of all things spooky, including Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion ride. So in 2009, they formed a band together called Dead Man’s Bones that would go on to release a grand total of one album.

The eponymous album “Dead Man’s Bones” came out just in time for Halloween on October 6, 2009, and featured a chorus of singers from the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children’s Choir. Ryan and Zach also toured, looping in a different kids’ choir in each city they visited. (They found the chorus of children’s voices creepy, because… yeah.)

(One of those touring members was actress/singer Dove Cameron, who was just 13 when Dead Man’s Bones cruised through Seattle and gave her her first paying gig. She talked about the project in an episode of “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,” calling Ryan incredibly talented and a guy who “can do f*cking everything.”)

“My Body’s a Zombie for You”

The full Dead Man’s Bones album is worth a listen. But if you only give one song a chance, make it Track #5, “My Body’s a Zombie for You.”

It’s 60’s doo-wop meets haunted prom-night rock – like if Tim Burton lived in Motown. Add it to your Halloween playlist and wait for your friends to ask, “Who is this?”

They’ll be just as shocked as you were.

You can check out the full Dead Man’s Bones album on YouTube and Spotify. The band itself may be defunct, but the music lives on. Very zombie-esque. 🧟‍♂️

Bonus: Check out a live performance from their 2009 tour.

A Guy Bought a Realistic Henry Cavill Doll, But Swears It’s Not for Sex

James Robertson-Reavis is an openly gay man from Texas, who performs in drag as Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. But he’s in the news after he just spent a lot of money – thousands? – on an ultra-realistic, life-size doll of “Superman” stud Henry Cavill. This thing is so legit it has body hair.

Why buy a Henry Cavill doll that’s so realistic? 👀

Although we’re all thinking it, James is very adamant that this thing is not a sex doll. He says he commissioned Henry from a British manufacturer for display use only.

In one video, James explains that Henry can’t be a sex doll since he’s not entirely silicone. He’s made of fiberglass from the waist down, like a mannequin, because he was thousands of dollars cheaper that way.

(Unfortunately it looks like James has since made his profile private, so send him a request if you want to see more.)

James also drops Henry’s drawers to show us what he’s workin’ with… and it ain’t much. Henry has more than a Ken doll, but not much more; basically just a little plastic nub that’s kind of shaped like a flaccid twig and berries. Nothing you can get down to much action with.

James also says Henry does not have any below-the-belt entry points. And besides that, James has been happily married for 13 years.

What would Henry have to say?

James isn’t worried he’s crossing any lines with the real Mr. Cavill. He says, “If we aren’t using AI to deceive or con, I don’t see the harm in personal use.”

Okay, so it’s not a sex doll. I guess my question is, how long before it becomes a sex doll? I mean, that thing is seriously handsome. And we all get lonely from time to time.

If you really want it, there are ways. Just sayin’.

Will Lainey Wilson Walk Down the Aisle in Bell Bottoms?

When it comes to fashion, Lainey Wilson has one unmistakable signature: bell bottoms. But will she even feature them in her nuptials?

Whether she’s on stage, at an award show, or just walking through an airport, she’s almost never seen without them. So naturally, fans are wondering — will she wear bell bottoms on her wedding day?

According to Lainey herself, maybe… but not down the aisle. She recently joked that she might save the bell bottoms for the afterparty or the reception, hinting that even though she loves her flared look, she might go a little more traditional for the actual ceremony.

What’s on her wedding day playlist?

Lainey and her fiancé, former NFL player Duck Hodges, haven’t picked a wedding song yet either, but she says it’ll probably be something by Eric Church. In her words, “Eric Church is the artist we kind of bonded over,” which sounds like a pretty sweet full-circle moment for the country star couple.

If you’re keeping track, that means the odds are high that their first dance will be to something from Church’s catalog — maybe “Like Jesus Does” or “You Make It Look So Easy”? Either way, it’s bound to fit the vibe: country, heartfelt, and just a little rock and roll.

As for the dress code, fans might still want to keep their eyes open. Knowing Lainey’s love for bell bottoms, it wouldn’t be shocking if she finds a way to sneak them into her wedding weekend — maybe as part of a sparkly afterparty jumpsuit, or even a reception outfit that lets her move a little easier on the dance floor.

10 Things That Happened 10 Years Ago: Oct 12-18

“Playboy” censors itself, Lamar Odom cokes himself into a coma, Larry David channels Bernie Sanders, and a burrito the size of a toddler. Here’s what was in the news 10 years ago this week.

“Playboy” announced no more nudity

CEO Scott Flanders announced the mag was ditching full-frontal and going PG-13. Flanders said there was simply no need for it in 2015. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free,” he said at the time. Hugh Hefner was in on the decision and signed off on the move.

Their first boob-free issue was published four months later in February 2016, but the new policy wouldn’t last long. The move didn’t help sales, Flanders left in 2016 to head up eHealth, and Hugh’s son Cooper Hefner announced they’d be returning to their roots.

He bluntly called the move a “mistake,” and the magazine’s boobless phase lasted only a year. Nudity would return in March 2017.

Lamar Odom almost died during a coke-fueled sex binge

The former Laker was two years removed from his NBA career – and in the middle of divorcing Khloe Kardashian – when he went on a coke binge and was found unconscious at the Love Ranch, a legal brothel in Crystal, Nevada.

He suffered multiple heart attacks, kidney failure, 12 strokes, and was in a coma for several days before he finally regained consciousness. He recovered, got clean, and invested in three drug rehab centers in California in 2023.

Tracy Morgan returned to “SNL”

It was 16 months after he’d nearly lost his life in a car crash that killed friend and fellow comedian James McNair. The episode was also the first to feature Larry David as Bernie Sanders.

David Bowie retired from touring

His promoter announced his touring days were over, saying, “Every time I see him now, before I even speak to him, he goes, ‘I’m not touring,’ and I say, ‘I’m not asking.’ He has decided to retire.” Bowie was secretly battling liver cancer after being diagnosed in 2014. He found out he was terminal in late 2015 and passed away on January 10, 2016, two days after his 69th birthday.

Erin Andrews sued for $75 million after being peeped on

The peeping happened in 2008 when a pervy stalker filmed her through a peephole at a Marriott in Nashville. He was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in jail for it. She sued after learning the hotel had told him she was there – even giving him a room next to own. A jury eventually awarded her $55 million.

Craziest sick day excuses

Career Builder asked bosses for the craziest sick day excuses they’d ever heard. Highlights included “stuck under my bed,” “grandmother poisoned me with ham,” and “my cat is stuck in my dashboard.”

We’d officially stopped trying to remember stuff

Half of Americans polled admitted they didn’t try to remember information or facts anymore – they just immediately googled everything. Over half also admitted they didn’t know their significant other’s phone number.

Emilia Clarke was Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive

“Game of Thrones” was gearing up for Season 6, which would feature her character Daenerys Targaryen emerging from a burning Dothraki temple unscathed – and unclothed.

Eat a 30-pound burrito, become a business owner

A Mexican place in Brooklyn called Don Chingon went viral for offering an owner’s stake to anyone who could finish their 30-pound burrito. No one did it, and the publicity stunt didn’t work. The restaurant was out of business two years later.

The 25 most re-watchable movies of all time

FiveThirtyEight crunched the numbers after polling 1,169 people, and determined the most re-watchable movie of all time was the original “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.” Rounding out the top five were “The Wizard of Oz,” “The Sound of Music,” “The Lord of the Rings,” and “Gone with the Wind.”

“Gone with the Wind”? Really? A four-hour movie with no Marvel characters?? Good luck getting anyone under 80 to watch that once in 2025!

The Best Dog Performances in Movies and TV

If you think your dog deserves an Oscar for “Best Couch Hog,” wait until you see this list.

Den of Geek has rounded up the all-time greatest canine performances in film and television, and the results prove that Hollywood’s biggest stars don’t always walk on two legs.

At the top of the list? The legendary Lassie, or rather the six heroic Collies who shared the role across decades: Pal, Lassie Junior, Spook, Baby, Mire, and Hey Hey. These pups defined loyalty, bravery, and perfectly timed barking, making “Lassie” the ultimate good dog story.

Coming in at #2 is Indy, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever from “Good Boy”, the new horror movie told entirely from a dog’s perspective. The film has been getting attention for its eerie premise and standout canine acting, so this ranking gives Indy some well-earned treats.

Third place goes to Terry, the little Cairn Terrier who stole hearts as Toto in “The Wizard of Oz”. Over 80 years later, Toto’s “We’re not in Kansas anymore” moment still lives rent-free in our collective memory.

Here’s the full Top 10 lineup of Hollywood’s best four-legged performers:

  1. Pal, Lassie Junior, Spook, Baby, Mire, and Hey Hey (“Lassie”)
  2. Indy (“Good Boy”)
  3. Terry as Toto (“The Wizard of Oz”)
  4. Spike (“Old Yeller”)
  5. Buddy (“Air Bud”)
  6. Messi as Snoop (“Anatomy of a Fall”)
  7. Uggie (“The Artist”)
  8. Higgins and Benjean (“Benji”)
  9. Chris (“Beethoven”)
  10. All 22 Labradors who shared the role of Marley (“Marley & Me”)

What makes this list extra fun is the reminder that dogs have been stealing scenes since long before CGI or TikTok filters. From heroic Collies and loyal Terriers to chaos-loving Labs, these stars remind us why dogs will always be Hollywood’s best co-stars.

How Much Do You Spend Over-Tipping?

How much do you think you spent this year tipping when you really didn’t want to?

A new report says the average American shelled out $150 in “guilt tips” over the past year. That’s money handed over because the iPad spun around and you panicked.

They’re the kinds of tips no one feels good about. You know the ones: when a screen asks for 25% after you pick up your own muffin, or when you tip for a haircut that looks like a geometry project. Maybe even for “services” that don’t really need tipping at all, like an oil change.

It’s not just you getting cranky about it, either.

65% of people say they’re officially fed up with tipping culture.

And that number’s gone up the past two years. It’s become so ridiculous that nearly two-thirds of folks say they’d rather just pay higher menu prices if it meant restaurant workers got fair wages and tipping went away entirely. (Unfortunately, that dream usually crashes and burns when restaurants actually try it.)

Here’s the twist: even though everyone’s sick of it, tipping amounts are still going up. 45% of diners now leave 20% or more at restaurants, and almost a quarter tip delivery drivers that much too.

So yeah, we’re irritated, broke, and still tipping like champs. America: land of the free, home of the guilt-tipped latte.
