Horror Geeks South Sound Group

Please join us for this next Virtual Trivia Party.

This will be hosted by Pryde (the second round's winner) and a co-host Kim aka Art the Clown/TriviaMaster :)

The round themes will be divided by decades so build up on some of that recent and older movie knowledge.
It will be like the previous trivia parties in which the trivia game will be hosted over Google Meet similar to the virtual movie parties. The Google Meet link will be posted the day before the event to Meetup!

Edit: The trivia will cover 1950s to 2020s (minus 2026 or so)

You will be given a Survey Monkey link during the virtual trivia party and will be recording your answers along with your screen name (at the time of Google Meet) on the sheet!

Major rules: No internet searching all-same rules as in person. No chatting about final answers/hints in chat or over voice. Questions can be re-read and will also be typed in chat if missed.
Once all questions have been done, we will have everyone submit their answer sheets. Any sheets submitted after this time will not be counted as we will go over answers at this time.
Once answers have been given, the trivia hosts will go over the sheets submitted and tally the points. At this time, folks can chat among themselves. Results will be given and then the winners/s will be crowned.

What we did before was the winner could become the trivia master for the next game. If folks have additional ideas, please share them as well :)

Book of the Month: The Montauk Monster by Hunter Shea
Book Summary
It Kills. . .

On a hot summer night in Montauk, the bodies of two local bar patrons are discovered in the dunes, torn to shreds, their identities unrecognizable. . .

It Breeds. . .

In another part of town, a woman's backyard is invaded by four terrifying creatures that defy any kind of description. What's clear is that they're hostile--and they're ravenous. . .

It Spreads. . .

With every sunset the terror rises again, infecting residents with a virus no one can cure. The CDC can't help them; FEMA can't save them. But each savage attack brings Suffolk County Police Officer Gray Dalton one step closer to the shocking source of these unholy creations. Hidden on nearby Plum Island, a U.S. research facility has been running top-secret experiments. What they created was never meant to see the light of day. Now, a vacation paradise is going straight to hell.

You can check the trigger warnings at the bottom, or dive in blind if you prefer a surprise.

Don’t worry if you haven’t finished the book, we’ll start by chatting about whatever spooky (or not-so-spooky) reads we’re enjoying before diving into the featured title. Come for the eerie atmosphere, stay for the lively conversations and, of course, the cats, because let’s be honest, that’s why you’re really here, isn’t it? <--- I guess this isn't true anymore :(

Questions? Feel free to drop a comment or message me (Gonzalo) for more details. Hope to see you there!

Trigger Warnings: The Hunger delves into themes of:
