My favorite time of year is now. Fall’s weather is perfect and we also celebrate my favorite holiday: Halloween. We’re about a month away from seeing costumed kiddos roaming the streets, but it’s just the right time for getting into spooky movies.

I challenge you this: starting now, watch one horror movie per week. On Oct. 31, report back to us at the Icon with your list of movies watched and tell us which one was your absolute favorite!

The Ada High School marching band is in full swing this fall. The band performed at halftime on Friday during Bluffton High School's homecoming. Here's band member Ace Gamble performing with the band.
