What we’re about
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 on Teleparty for virtual movie night to watch horror movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Max, and more. (You will need your own account for the streaming service to watch.)
- Horror Trivia 💀❓ - Every few months, we'll have (or attend) a horror-themed trivia night.

Happy Horror Hour - True Crime Horror 🔍🔪🧬🪓
Nosh and Bevvy, 8440 Burnet Rd #100, Austin, TX, USSometimes, real-life can be scarier than fiction, and these films all center around crimes that are horrifyingly true. Join us as we investigate how art imitates life, and how it is portrayed in the genre.
WATCH LIST
- The Town That Dreaded Sundown (1976) (Tubi)
- The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) (Hulu) pictured
- Zodiac (Paramount+)
- The Sacrament (2016) (Tubi)
- The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021) (HBO Max)
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.

Happy Horror Hour - Tubifest 3! 📺🧟♂️🦃
Grata's Pizzeria & Pub, 2700 South Lamar Blvd ,, Austin , TX, USIt was two years ago, on a night just like this...
...that we had our last Tubifest, and it's been too long! We'll be watching movies that are all streaming for free on Tubi. So, save your money for Christmas shopping, because this Happy Horror Hour won't cost you a cent!
In keeping with the pattern established by the previous two Tubifests, I've picked movies from different decades. They have nothing to do with each other, and they are all kind of bizarre, because WEIRD is my favorite genre of horror.
I've never seen the ThanksKilling movies, but since Thanksgiving is upon us, I thought I'd throw in a couple turkeys. ThanksKilling looks terrible, and ThanksKilling 3 looks insane. There is no ThanksKilling 2 and that's probably a good thing.
Now let's gobble up this supper of strangeness that I've prepared!
Enjoy the feast!WATCH LIST
- Spider Baby or, The Maddest Story Ever Told (1967) (Tubi, Amazon, Plex, Hoopla)
- Phantasm (1979) (Tubi, Pluto, Plex, Hoopla)
- Dead & Buried (1981) (Tubi, Amazon, Pluto)
- Demon Wind (1990) (Tubi, Plex, YouTube)
BONUS TURKEYS
- ThanksKilling (2008) (Tubi, Pluto, Screambox) (pictured)
- ThanksKilling 3 (2012) (Tubi, Pluto, Plex)
