What we’re about
For all horror movie fans, this meetup is for you! Do you love to watch horror movies, but have no one to share this with (because your friends and family don't understand the magic of horror?) Do you want to chat with fellow horror fans about your favourite (or-not-so-favourite) horror films?
Then, let's get together for movie watching, talking and all things horror!
Please note this group is for ages 18+.
