Happy Horror Hour - Indigenous Horror 👽🧟♂️☠️🐻
Details
I wanted to focus on North American Indigenous horror, which is an underrepresented genre that has seen some recent growth within the last 5 years. There were not many films to choose from, however, the ones I was able to find had a good representation of different horror themes, such as: aliens, zombies, shapeshifters, mutated creatures, and Wendigos. I hope you enjoy this carefully curated list, and are able to join the discussion!
WATCH LIST

- Blood Quantum (2020) Shudder

HOW HAPPY HORROR HOUR WORKS
Before the event …
- Watch the movies from the Watch List at home on your own or with a friend. We do not watch movies at the actual event. Think of it like a book club.
- Movies are chosen based on if 1) it fits the theme and 2) it’s available to stream on a platform that’s free or that most people probably have. (Platforms: Amazon Prime, Freevee, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Shudder, Tubi)
- It's not a requirement to watch all or even any of the movies on the Watch List. It’s just more fun if you do.
At the event …
- We’re a friendly welcoming bunch and we love new folks so no need to be shy.
- If you can show up within 15 minutes of event start time, it helps the discussion get underway a little easier.
- 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. 😊
