You'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 …

*** 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.
