Our club is driven by a collective curiosity to explore the intricate artistry that makes horror movies so irresistibly captivating. Geared toward those with a penchant for the mysterious, the horrifying, and the thrilling, our aim is to dissect the essence of exceptional horror. While this will mainly be done through weekly screenings (with free snacks provided) that cover a diverse range of films from chilling classics to modern gems, our hope is to ignite a discussion following our screenings that transcends the screen to include other forms of horror media.
