Hey everybody! I co-founded the "HEEBIE JEEBIES", a horror book and film discussion group at my Barnes & Noble and we have yet to have any new members show up, so I'm taking a leap and opening a thread for discussion here on the site! Each month we read a book and watch a related film, then meet in person (those of us in Eugene, Oregon), the fourth Wednesday evening of each month.
You're invited to read and comment, and I've included books and films we've previously covered so you can comment on those as well!
JULY BOOK: Witch by Mary Ann Mitchell
JULY MOVIE: Black Circle Boys
AUGUST BOOK: Myth Hunters by Christopher Golden
AUGUST MOVIE: Snow White: A Tale of Terror
SEPTEMBER BOOK: Neverwhere by Neil Gaimon
SEPTEMBER MOVIE: Franklyn
OCTOBER BOOK: Fledgling by Octavia Butler
OCTOBER MOVIE: Dracula 2000
NOVEMBER BOOK: The Replacement by Brenna Yavanoff
NOVEMBER MOVIE: It's Alive
DECEMBER BOOK: The Gardener by S.A. Bodeen
DECEMBER MOVIE: Organizm
We generally choose six months or so at a time - in October/November we will open up discussion for titles to choose and get a new list together based on input and votes here on the thread.
