Wake Up Call Halloween may be over, but the true nightmare continues to lurk in the shadows and slowly make its way toward unsuspecting college students nationwide.

So, we’re going to start off with some talk about one of our fiercest female rockers. Avril Lavigne has filed for divorce from her hubby, Sum 41 leader Deryck Whibley, for ‘irreconcilable differences.’ The rock-pop duo has been married for three years since July 2006, and made the initial split with a legal separation since Sept. 4.

Ariel Fulton Staff Writer In honor of the new movie, Zombieland, partly filmed here in Valdosta and coming into theaters this Friday, I was given the task of putting together a list of five of the scariest, bloodiest, and overall best zombie movies of all time.
