Cleveland Horror Club

The Cleveland Horror Club is rising from the grave! now officially run by Talkin Tapes Media and ready to breathe new life (Frankenstein-style) into our local horror community.

We’re forming a committee to help organize monthly meetings, free events, screenings, outings, and charity drives! The kind of gatherings that make our city feel like one big horror family… without the chainsaws.

If you’re passionate about horror and want to help shape the club’s future, get in touch.

📼 Killer Video! Akron is about to deliver a treat for every horror and VHS fan out there! This upcoming event features none other than Robert Kurtzman! The legendary special effects master, director, and co-founder of KNB EFX Group.

Robert’s connection to the VHS era runs deep from his groundbreaking work on practical gore effects that became rental store staples in the ’80s and ’90s, to directing cult hits that many of us first experienced on worn-out tapes late at night. His fingerprints are all over the movies that shaped our shelves and haunted our dreams.

We love seeing Ohio’s horror scene come alive, and Killer Video has been keeping the VHS spirit alive right here in Akron. Let’s show them some love and pack the house for this one-of-a-kind night with a true legend.

Support local horror. Support physical media. Support the creators who made our favorite nightmares real.

Show your support so we can start building funds for our return! T-shirts are now available! Link in the comments.

Lately I've been debating what’s next and maybe it's finally time to breathe new life into the Cleveland Horror Club. Not bar shows. Not live bands. Not chasing ticket sales. Just community.

I miss what we originally created. A space where weirdos, misfits, artists, freaks and film nerds could come together. A space that wasn’t about profit, clout, or gatekeeping just mutual love for horror, local art, and each other.

Truth is, Clevelanders have this bad habit of not supporting each other and I want to break that. I wanna bring back the spirit of collaboration, fun, and raw creative chaos. Think screenings, art nights, spooky potlucks, horror flea markets, mini film fests, zine swaps, or just hangouts where everyone can feel seen.

If you were ever part of the original crew or always wanted to be hit me up. Let’s get the weird back together.
