Horror Movie Night: The Babadook

Tue 2 Feb, 18:00–21:00

Get ready to crap your pants, because this time we will be watching a horror movie! We’ll be watching The Babadook (IMDb).

To make it a little less scary we will make sure you will not be alone while watching this movie. We’ll also make sure there will be plenty of snacks to help you keep your nerves under control. And as usual we won’t be doing all this on an empty stomach, as we will order food at the beginning of the evening. We don’t know where we are going to order yet, but we’ll let you know up front, so you can make your order.
