Do you always have to catch the latest scare flick alone because your friends think you are insane to watch this stuff? Do you get strange looks when you start to rave about '2001' or 'House of 1000 corpses'? Are you counting the days until 'The Hobbit' will be finally released? This is your group :) (... and if your friends don't think you're insane please bring them along ... ) We are a bunch of friendly people with an offbeat taste in films, with emphasis on Horror, SciFi and Fantasy.

I find it extremely difficult to find group of people that has the same passion for the written word as I do. If you do not want to drive half an hour, over three bridges, and sit in traffic for who knows how long, this may be the group for you.

Publishers and editors are welcome, or if your just new in town and want to hear local writ …

We will be watching the brilliant ones. Japanese TV has four seasons corresponding to the q …

Ever get irritated when someone talks during the movie? Then this is NOT the group for you. Although Mystery Science Theater has not been on cable tv for years, it retains a cult following. The MST3K team watches the same bad movie as us, but with the sound turned down a bit, they inject their own commentary on top of the movie. If you’re unfamiliar with MST3K, this will give you a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53i_GAQn40g&feature=related Mystery Science Theater is back, live! The M …
