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 for virtual movie night to watch horror movies.
- Horror Trivia 💀❓ - Every few months, we'll have (or attend) a horror-themed trivia night.

TO THE CINEMA! -- 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
AMC Tech Ridge, 12625 N Interstate Hwy 35, Austin, TX, USCome join our first movie outing in 2026! I don't know about you, but I have been anxiously waiting for this movie's release, and I am all about the Jimmy's! 🧔🏼♀️ 💀 👩🦳 💀 👩🏼🦱
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026)
Expanding upon the world created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland in 28 Years Later but turning that world on its head - Nia DaCosta directs 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. In a continuation of the epic story, Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself in a shocking new relationship - with consequences that could change the world as they know it - and Spike's (Alfie Williams) encounter with Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell) becomes a nightmare he can't escape. In the world of The Bone Temple, the infected are no longer the greatest threat to survival - the inhumanity of the survivors can be stranger and more terrifying.
For this event ...
- You are responsible for purchasing your own ticket. I recommend that you purchase it early.
- I'll be in Row E, Seat 8. Purchase a ticket near there and we'll be movie buddies!
- Show up 15 minutes before the movie starts to meet in the lobby and say hello to everyone.
- After the movie, head to the bar area if you want to get a drink and dish.

Sunday, January, 18th / AMC Dine-In Tech Ridge 10 / Theater 4 / 2:15 PM

Happy Horror Hour - A Cold Day in Hell 🔥🥶❄️🔥
The Pour House, 11835 Jollyville Rd, Austin, TX, USFive 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)
- Dead Snow 2* (2014) (Tubi, YouTube, Plex, Amazon Prime)
- Black Mountain Side (2015) (Tubi, Plex, Amazon Prime)
*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.
BONUS
- 30 Days of Night (2007) (RENT)
Note: Platform availability may change at anytime. 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. 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!
