Now that we’ve entered October, it feels appropriate to entertain some spookier fare. This month my goal is to share about some horror classics and why they’re worthy of revisiting in 2020. First up, is 1996’s Scream.
Scream opens with the best sequence in the film that runs close to 15 minutes as Casey Becker (DREW BARRYMORE) is terrorized by the film’s killer.
Home alone, Casey decides to pop some popcorn and put on a scary movie while she waits for her boyfriend, Steve, to come over. While she’s getting ready, she receives a phone call from a mystery person who may have dialed the wrong number.
Ada schools are closed today (Monday, Oct. 5), according to an announcement made on Ohio Alerts at 8:37 a.m. Earlier in the morning the school had announced a 2-hour delay.
Ada schools has immediate openings for substitute aides, secretaries and bus drivers, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent.
Educational aides must be able to obtain an educational aide permit from the Ohio Department of Education. Information about obtaining a permit can be found by clicking here.
