Happy Horror Hour - A Cold Day in Hell 🔥🥶❄️🔥
Details
Five films. Endless snow. Absolutely zero chill.
Grab a blanket (emotionally, not physically—no warmth allowed) and join us for A Cold Day in Hell devoted to films where the temperature drops, isolation creeps in, and survival becomes… negotiable.
This lineup is all about cold as a weapon—frozen landscapes that grind people down, warp morality, and make every bad decision feel even worse. These aren’t cozy winter vibes. These are “why did anyone come here in the first place?” vibes.
Up for Discussion
- Why cold settings make horror hit harder
- Isolation, paranoia, and “group dynamics under pressure” (aka: who loses it first)
- Nature as antagonist vs. supernatural evil
- Which environment you’d survive the longest in (everyone lies during this part)
Expect dark humor, strong opinions, sub-zero spoilers, and plenty of “absolutely not” moments. Whether you love bleak slow burns or gleeful snowy carnage, this is a lineup designed to leave you chilled, entertained, and very grateful you’re indoors.
Come for the horror. Stay because maybe the AC will be on high and that's the closest you're getting to winter right now.
WATCH LIST
- The Last Winter (2006) (Shudder)
- Frozen (2010) (Tubi, Plex)

*I know it's odd to put the sequel but it's the one on Tubi right now. I do highly encourage watching the first one if you haven't seen it.

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. Attendance will be taken and "no shows" will be marked.
At the event …
- We’re a friendly welcoming bunch and we love new folks! 😍
- You are expected to purchase something at the restaurant. Pour House is a longtime home for this movie club. We get to use the back room for free with the expectation that we are bringing in paying customers. Also, please tip our servers. We’re a big bunch to wrangle. Thanks!
