About us

Canberra Horror Hang Outs 🩸🎃

Love horror but want more than just movies or books? Canberra Horror Hang Outs is a social Meetup group for horror fans who want to connect, play, explore, and have fun together outside the cinema and book club.

This group is designed as a natural crossover for members of Canberra Horror Movie Group and Canberra Horror Book Club, as well as anyone else in Canberra who enjoys horror-themed fun and friendly company.

We’ll be hosting a wide variety of events, both in person and online, including (but not limited to):

🎬 Online “watch together” movie nights
💬 Online discussion groups
🎮 Horror VR experiences
🧠 Trivia nights
🔐 Escape rooms
🕹️ Board games and casual gaming
🧺 Picnics and relaxed social catch-ups
👻 Other spooky or horror-adjacent activities

You don’t need to be a hardcore horror expert, just someone who enjoys the genre and wants to meet like-minded people in a welcoming, inclusive environment. Events will range from low-key social hangouts to more immersive horror experiences, so there should be something for everyone.

If you already attend Canberra Horror Movie Group or Canberra Horror Book Club, this is a great way to keep the conversations going and get to know people beyond screenings and discussions. If you’re new … welcome! We’re always happy to meet new horror fans.

Come for the horror, stay for the community. 🖤

NOTE: Due to MeetUp not managing spam well we have made the hard decision to turn on membership approval. We would love to have you join us so please do join and we will approve you ASAP. Thanks for your understanding.
