Originally this group was centered on horror but as time went on it seemed right to include both mystery and science fiction. There's this misconception that horror movies are only effective if they have a certain level of violence or gore, similar to what you might find with the Saw franchise. Films such as the Blair Witch Project, The Others and Paranormal Activity however, prove otherwise. When the audience has to conjure their own interpretation to an event based on what's implied or not visible, their imagination and fears take hold.  Stories where events are abnormal or not necessarily as they are seem are also intriguing.

Each month we host activities whether it is a movie showing, book discussion or simply meeting up for drinks and you're welcome to take part. Share your films recommendations, shows that you regularly follow (Supernatural, American Horror Story, True Blood, etc) and meet other fans.
