Wanna read cool books? We love cool books. We are readers that love paranormal stories of all kinds. We don't limit ourselves to just vampires; we love all types of paranormal stories.

We look forward to meetin …

Love the horror genre, but have trouble hooking up with friends that have the same tastes ? Fret no more, as this group is about pushing the boundaries to see the best new horror genre films. ( Yes, we will digress from time to time for some 80's cheesey humor like the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series. ) I'm loosely defining the sub genres to be: horror, fantasy, psychological thrillers, sci fi, and cheese. These are my basic definitions for horror films. There are definitely other definitions/s …

In life, seasons come and go, and life takes us in many different directions. We get older, we grow, and yet, somehow some things always seem to stay the same (and what's more we mean for them to!) This is a group for those of us who remember the good old days of NES, Super Nintendo and Gameboy, who grew up with the best of Saturday morning cartoons, watching everything from TMNT, Transformers, Gi Joe, or Rainbow Bright and Strawberry Shortcake. The 80's and 90's were our playground, and ours is …
