About us
Do you like horror movies? Do you like chatting about them with friends but all your friends hate horror movies? If so, this may be the group for you! 😁
We will share our love of horror movies, chat about our favorites, get recommendations, and have a laugh about all things spooky.
Whether you like a little scare every now and then or love all things terrifying, all are welcome! Everyone is free to love, hate, or feel indifferent about any horror movie. This is a safe space. ☺️
Here are the kind of events we host:
- Happy Horror Hours 👻🍹 - We'll pick a horror genre/sub-genre (e.g. haunted houses) and create a Watch List for the event. You can watch all or some of them beforehand. Think of it like a book club but with movies.
- Horror Movie Outings 😱🎬🍿 - Let's go to the cinema and watch a horror flick! We'll pick a movie, theater, date, and time. You'll buy your own ticket and attend the screening. Afterwards, we'll go somewhere to chat about the movie.
- Horror Movie Online Watch Parties 🧛♂️🧟♀️💻 - Join us for virtual movie night to watch horror movies.
- Horror Trivia 💀❓ - Every few months, we'll have (or attend) a horror-themed trivia night.

Happy Horror Hour - Love Hurts 💔🫀❤️🔥
Grata's Pizzeria & Pub, 2700 South Lamar Blvd ,, Austin, TX, USLove hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars - NazarethValentine's Day is here and the stink of love is in the air. That isn't necessarily a good thing. Join us for a support group disguised as a movie discussion—where the real horror is feelings, relationships, and the quiet suspicion that something is very wrong.
We'll witness some highly dysfunctional relationships and serious red flags. We’ll dig into recent horror films united by common themes like bodily autonomy, power imbalances, emotional manipulation, emotional isolation, loss of identity, loneliness, control, and codependence. Expect some laughs, some “oh no” moments, and maybe a realization that these movies hit a little too close to home.
WATCHLIST
- Swallow (2019) (Hulu, Disney, AMC, Shudder, Kanopy, Mubi)
- Fresh (2022) (Hulu, Disney)
- Companion (2025) (Amazon Prime, HBOMax)
- Together (2025) (Hulu, Disney) (pictured)
HOW HAPPY HORROR HOUR WORKS
Before the event …
- Watch the movies from the Watch List at home on your own. We do not watch movies at the actual event. Think of it like a book club. It's not a requirement to watch all the movies on the Watch List to attend. However, watching at least a few is highly encouraged as you'll have a lot more fun during the discussion.
- If you have content sensitivities, you can look up movies on doesthedogdie.com and/or unconsentingmedia.org to review warnings.
- Keep your RSVP up-to-date. If you can't make it out, update your RSVP at least 24 hours beforehand. If there is a waitlist, attendance will be taken and "no shows" will be marked.
At the event …
- We’re a friendly welcoming bunch and we love new folks! 😍
- Please purchase something (even if just a soda) while you’re at the restaurant. They’re running a business but being super awesome by giving us a space to meet for free. Also, please tip our servers. We’re a big bunch to wrangle.
