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.

TELEPARTY
We're using Teleparty to watch the movie together. It's a web browser extension/add-on available in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. (You won't find it in an app store.) Visit the Teleparty website to learn more and install the extension before the event.Platform: Hulu
We have had some issues with ads on platforms in the past, and hopefully we won't this time around. Apologies in advance if your viewing experience is out of sync with others.EVENT DETAILS
- The Teleparty link will be provided under "Online event" at least 20 minutes prior to the start time. I encourage you to join the event at least a few minutes before 1pm so you’re set up and ready to go by the time we start. If it kicks you out, try a different web browser.
- Update your profile name (and icon, if you so desire) for the chat box. Click on the profile icon in the upper right corner of the chat box. Please use your real first name so we know who you are.
- Don’t use any of the video controls (e.g. play, pause, etc.) I’ll start the movie for us, and it’ll run straight through to the end. No intermissions.
- Don’t use the video emojis. These are located in the chat box above where you type. It causes emojis to float across the video. It’s disruptive so please just use emojis in the chat.
- Join in the conversation! Conversation is highly encouraged. That’s the fun of watching the movie together. 🤩
- TO THE CINEMA! -- 28 Years Later (2025) 🕰️🧟♂️🍿Alamo Drafthouse Mueller , Austin, TX
In 28 days it began. In 28 weeks it spread. In 28 years it evolved.
It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected...
Directed by Danny Boyle and penned by Alex Garland, 28 Years Later marks the third entry in this iconic franchise. It follows the original 28 Days Later (2002) and its sequel 28 Weeks Later (2007), continuing the story in a world ravaged by the Rage Virus. Two decades since the previous installment, the franchise takes a bold leap forward in time, exploring how humanity has adapted—or failed to adapt—to this apocalyptic reality.
For this event ...
- You are responsible for purchasing your own ticket. I recommend that you purchase it early.
- I'll be in Row 8, Seat 8. Purchase a ticket near there and we'll be movie buddies!
- Before the movie, we'll be meeting at Aviator Pizza nearby at 6pm. Meet us there or find us in the theater.
- After the movie, we'll convene outside the theater then head to BD Riley's for drinks and discussion.

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 - Kevin Bacon 🥓🔪🥓🔍🥓🪱Nosh and Bevvy, Austin, TX
Is that bacon I smell? You're damn right! This Happy Hour Hour is dedicated to Kevin Bacon's horror films throughout his 30+ year span in the genre. Because this list is so curated, unfortunately none of these films are available to stream for free (I would still check with your local library). We hope you can still manage to watch a few of these films and join us to talk about the cop, the cowboy, the counselor, and more.
WATCH LIST
- Tremors (1990) (Rent) pictured
- The Darkness (2016) (Rent)
- You Should Have Left (2020) (Peacock)
- They/Them (2022) (Peacock)
