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 Thrill of the Hunt 🌊🦈🔱🛥️
Grata's Pizzeria & Pub, 2700 South Lamar Blvd ,, Austin, TX, USYou're gonna need a bigger boat...
Jaws was the first film to gross over $100 million at the box office, creating the modern summer blockbuster. It's also the ultimate Fourth of July horror movie. So, let's celebrate Jaws along with a few more action-packed horror films about people hunting creatures far more massive and deadly than themselves. The thrill of the hunt is in the chase; or so they say.
For this Happy Horror Hour, unfortunately, the central film (Jaws) is not streaming, so you'll need to rent it. And you may need to rent one or two more on the list. The Host is only streaming on Hoopla and Kanopy which both require a library account. So, I apologize for the difficult accessibility of this list, but they're all worth watching, however you can get them.
WATCHLIST
- Jaws (1975) - Rent, Peacock, Cineplex (pictured)
- The Host (2006) - Hoopla, Kanopy, Magnolia Selects
- Troll Hunter (2010) - Hoopla, Kanopy, Tubi, Plex
- Nope (2022) - Netflix
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.*
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 …
