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 - The Kids Are Not Okay 👧🏻🪦🍭💀
Nosh and Bevvy, 8440 Burnet Rd #100, Austin, TX, USHorror has always been the genre to push our fears to the limits, but there is one taboo that universally still exists today; the death of a child on screen. I honestly could have created an entire list of just Stephen King movies, but chose to diversify. I also did not include some of the more brutal movies to keep these watches less of a bummer.
WATCH LIST
**The Blob **(1988) (Tubi)
** Beware! Children At Play **(1989) (Plex)
**Hereditary **(2018) (YouTube)

Happy Horror Hour - Insane Horror of 2025 😵💫👹😵💫
Grata's Pizzeria & Pub, 2700 South Lamar Blvd ,, Austin, TX, US"Everybody dies. Some of us peacefully and in our sleep, and some of us... horribly. And that's life." - The Monkey (2025)
Now that 2026 is nearing it's end, let's look back a year to 2025 and discuss some of the weirdest, wackiest, and just plain insane films that year had to offer.
I've picked out a mixed bag of crazy horror films with witches, monsters, unicorns, cursed toys, and aliens. There's a little bit of everything, but one thing ties them together (besides the year of release): they're all at least a little bit weird.
Everything is either on HBO or Hulu/Disney, and I plan to do an Insane Horror of 2026 sometime in mid 2027, so stay tuned.
WATCHLIST
- Weapons (2025) - HBO, Howdy (pictured)
- Dust Bunny (2025) - HBO
- Death of a Unicorn (2025) - HBO
- The Monkey (2025) - Hulu, Disney
- Ash (2025) - AMC, Shudder, Hulu, Disney, Hoopla
Note:* Platform availability may change at any time. Check JustWatch to find alternative platforms. Be sure to check the year to ensure you are watching the correct film.*
