It was Tomomi's day to babysit Eri while Aizawa had a staff meeting to attend with Hizashi. And what better way to spend it than to have a fun halloween themed movie night with the girls? 

So after spending the whole day before decorating the dorm's common room in halloween decor and lights, Tomomi suggested that Eri come to one of their weekly slumber parties. With the girls and Eri found to be a great idea. So Aizawa allowed it. 

He would be gone and wouldn't be back until late night, depending on how long the meeting went. If he were lucky, it would end by the afternoon. 

Currently, Jirou brought her wireless speaker into the kitchen as the girls were all preparing their movie night snacks with Eri's help. They baked halloween cookies in shapes of ghosts, witches hats, pumpkins and black cats. They baked brownies, decorating them in green frosting to make it look like mini frankensteins, movie theater popcorn in a big bowl resembling a witches cauldron, oreo cookies with candy eyes on them and six pretzels sticks in them to make them look like spiders and halloween marshmellows. 

Momo bought a box of halloween themed chocolate covered strawberries with a breakable chocolate heart that said "The Baddest Witch" as the center piece.  

All of the girls were in halloween themed pajamas and fuzzy socks. The sounds of Primadonna by Marina and the Diamonds blasted in the kitchen as they all chatted, sang and had a great time with each other. 

"What's the first movie on the list?" Momo asked, helping Eri stick marshmellows on pocky sticks. 

Hagakure, in charge of coordinating the movie list, pulled out her phone. "The first on the list is Nightmare Before Christmas." She informed. "Then next up is Halloween Town, following up with that is Hocus Pocus both the first movie and the second, and then the Corpse Bride, Coraline, The Little Vampire, Frankenweenie, Practical Magic, The Addams Family and lastly, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." 

"Yay!" Eri cheered, clapping her tiny hands. "I wanna see Zero~!" 

Zero is the name of Jack Skellington's ghost dog. Ever since Midoriya showed her that movie, she's been obsessed with it and the ghost dog. Zero was her favorite character. 

"Great!" Uraraka also cheered. "Let's get this party started!" 

The girls all woooo'ed together as they began to move their snacks to the common room. Recently, Aizawa got a movie projector for his class and has allowed the girls to use it in the common room. To complete the cozy feel. 

They bought fall themed blankets and pillows to use. 

"I have a question." Eri suddenly asked just as Jirou played the movie. They were about 4 minutes into the movie, even singing along to the tunes of This Is Halloween together. "Is Nightmare Before Christmas a halloween movie or a christmas movie?" 

Everyone paused, thinking about it. That was a great question and no one ever really thought about it until now. Was it a halloween movie or was it a christmas movie? 

"Definitely a Halloween movie." Momo answered first. "It came out on October 13, 1993. It's definitely a fall movie." 

"But it has such a christmas feel to it." Uraraka argued, drinking her root beer. "I've only ever watched the movie during christmas." 

"True but think about it," Jirou added. "They're celebrating both holidays in the movie. I think it can be both, you know." 

"I always felt like it was both a Halloween and Christmas movie." Mina said, eating a ghost shaped cookie. "It can be enjoyed during both seasons. They make merchandise for both seasons, you know." 

"Yeah, I agree." Asui agreed with her. "I also say it's both." 

"I feel like that's still an age old debate, you know?" Hagakure added. "Because no one really knows if it is both. It's a matter of what you prefer. It's like asking if Harry Potter is a halloween movie series." 

"You see, that's kind of different." Tomomi said, eating a licorice. "Because the series never came out during October, most of them premiered during November. A month after the Halloween season. Harry Potter isn't really a halloween series, it's mostly a fall series. With the exception of a few of their movies coming out during summer. " 

"Does a movie get determined if it's a halloween movie if it comes out during October?" Uraraka asked, curiously. 

"I feel like that's a yes and no answer." Momo answered her. "Because any movie can come out during the month but not all of them are in the genre. It's like Horror movies. They can be enjoyed during the season but most of them don't even come out during October. " 

Aizawa walked back into the dormitory before he had to leave for the meeting, just to check on the girls and Eri. He forgot his car keys and took the opportunity to just stop by and make sure no one was messing with their little slumber party. 

The boys left that morning to some laser tag and go kart riding with Cementoss, just so they could not repeat what happened the last time they interrupted the girls again. So to distract them, Cementoss and Snipe kept them busy. They would be gone for a few hours. 

"Hey, munchkin, princess. Hey, girls." He addressed his adopted daughters first before the other girls as he stood behind the couch they were occupying. "What's going on here?" 

"Hey, dad." Tomomi greeted him, turning her neck to look at him. "We're watching Nightmare Before Christmas to kick off our halloween movie night." 

"Mr. Aizawa, do you think Nightmare Before Christmas is a halloween movie or a christmas movie?" Jirou asked him. 

Aizawa thought about, staring at the movie for a couple of seconds. He remained quiet for a few seconds before giving his opinion. "I personally think it's a halloween movie but it can be enjoyed during both holidays." 

"That's what I said!" Mina exclaimed. "Do you think a movie is a fall movie if it comes out during the fall?" 

"Not all movies during the fall are necessarily fall movies." He answered as best as he could. "At the end of the day, it all comes down to what you feel is a fall movie. It's all a matter of opinion, honestly. There is no definitive answer for that." 

"True, true." Momo mumbled, agreeing with him. Even if she thinks it's a halloween movie. It can be enjoyed during both holidays. 

"Well, I gotta go." He said, kissing both Eri and Tomomi on their heads. "Remember, if you order food, please stay here. And don't forget to lock the door." 

"Bye~!" they all farewelled him off before he was completely gone. But all of them were still curious to know everyone's opinion on the topic. But nonetheless, they continued their fun that night. 

The night grew darker as they finished their movie marathon and the girls were all asleep in a big pile of cuddles and blankets. The sounds of Harry Potter's end credit music played in the background as they were all in deep sleep. 

Around that time, the boys came home from a fun filled day. 

"Today was so fu-" Denki yelled as they entered the dorms. But was stopped by Tokoyami, who noticed the girls as soon as they entered. 

"Shhhh." He hushed him, pointing to the cuddle pile in the middle of the common room. 

The boys all stopped to see the scene in front of them. Everyone of their female classmates and Eri were sleeping together, under the blankets. The snack tray and other foods they had were completely gone, Harry Potter's end credits were playing, the lights were off except for the purple and orange led lights they had for the decorations. 

"Aww." Midoriya cooed, looking at them. "I nearly forgot that they were having a movie marathon with Eri. It's Tomomi's week to watch her." 

"Looks like they were watching nothing but Halloween movies." Oijirou commented, noticing the dvds around them. "Nightmare Before Christmas......Isn't that a christmas movie, though?" 

"It's a Halloween movie." Tokoyami said as they all quietly made their way to their elevator, which led to the boys side of the dorms. "It came out during October." 

"But can we really say it's a halloween movie?" Kirishima asked as he pressed the elevator button. "It feels like a christmas movie." 

"Idiot, it's a Halloween movie." Bakugou scoffed as they entered the elevator. "Why do you think it came out in October?" 

"But not all movies that come out during October are Halloween movies." Midoriya argued. "Most of the Harry Potter movies came out during November, does that make it a fall movie series?" 

"You do have a point there." Denki agreed. "I think it's more for Halloween but it can be watched on both holidays." 

"That's probably the smartest thing you've ever said that doesn't involve greek mythology." Shoto commented, just as the elevator closed. 

The debate still continued on as they all began to get ready for bed. No one really knows if it's a halloween movie or a christmas movie. But one thing everyone can agree on is that it can be enjoyed during both seasons.
