The University Class of 2020 was a diverse group of students who were forced to finish their college career under unprecedented circumstances due to COVID-19. Nevertheless, a group of five students — Jake Vanaman, David Normansell, Abbey Potter, Rob DiCicco and Zach Cummings — all aged 22 and part of the Class of 2020, banded together — quite literally — in the group The Shrugs, despite the circumstances. Driven by their passion for music, the group worked to produce their first full album “Junk Days and Radio Zones” during the pandemic, with a release in August 2020.

“Hubie Halloween” is not your typical Halloween movie. The film is notable for its interweaving of comedy, a small degree of horror and even some family values. Holding the highest ranking on Netflix the weekend after its release, fans are for sure loving the fun-loving and diverse new movie. The film centers upon Hubie — a local outcast — who makes it his duty to care for the children of Salem, Massachusetts on Halloween night when mischievous inclinations, mystery and mayhem ensue. By the end, as with many similarly cheesy movies, Hubie saves the day — rescuing the town from a rambunctious kidnapper and taking on the role of mayor. Although the film is targeted towards children and teenagers, “Hubie Halloween'' doesn’t shy away from including some adult jokes and references, which explains its PG-13 rating. Regardless, “Hubie Halloween” is definitely a movie the whole family can enjoy!

The incident at hand deals with the murder of Shan'ann Watts and her three children — Bella Watts, Celeste Watts and her unborn baby, Nico Lee Watts — by husband and father Christopher Watts, who is currently serving five life sentences without the possibility of parole in a maximum-security prison in Wisconsin.
