This group meets on the first Tuesday of each month to view SF and other genre related films.
This month's film is Shadow of the Vampire (2000). Shadow of the Vampire is a film about the
making of a German all time classic silent horror-movie from 1922 called Nosferatu-Eine
Symphonie des Grauens (Nosferatu-a Symphony of Horror). The production of Nosferatu had to
deal with a lot of strange things (some crew members disappeared, some died). This movie
focuses on the difficult relationship between Murnau, the director, and Schreck, the lead actor.
Seville Diner follows the movie - 289 Broadway, Westwood,NJ. (approx. 9:15 to 10:30, sometimes
later).

This group meets on the second Monday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or
intrigue novel. This month's selection is LAMB: The Gospel According to Bif, Christs' Childhood
Pal by Christopher Moore. The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious
teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his thirtieth birthday. But no one knows about the early
life of the Son of God, the missing years--except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been
resurrected to tell the story in this divinely hilarious, yet heartfelt work "reminiscent of Vonnegut
and Douglas Adams".Verily, the story Biff has to tell is a miraculous one, filled with remarkable
journeys, magic, healings, kung fu, corpse reanimations, demons and more (get it, more). For

This group meets on the 4th Friday of each month to discuss various works of "modern" masters
or upcoming talent in SF, fantasy, paranormal, horror and related genres. It also occasionally
explores classics and the 'masters' of the classics. This month we discuss Christopher Moore's
Bloodsucking Fiends. A doggedly hip tale of vampire love in modern-day San Francisco, from the
author of Practical Demonkeeping (1992) and Coyote Blue (1994). Gorgeous 26-year-old
Transamerica claims clerk Jody (inexplicably never given a surname) is habitually unlucky in love
until the night she's attacked by a vampire on her way home from work. Two days later, when she
wakes up under a Dumpster near her office, the young woman's senses are heightened, she
can't stand sunlight, she craves human blood: In short, Jody is now a vampire. Enter former
midwesterner C. Thomas Flood, an aspiring writer by day and a supermarket stock-boy by night.
Jody needs a human to help her both find and neutralize the bad-guy vampire (who's now at
large), as well as solve the mystery of why she's been chosen to live for all eternity. And Tommy,
who's struck by her beauty and vampirish panache, is an all-too-willing victim. As Jody and
Tommy struggle together--under cover of darkness--to learn the secrets of vampire life, they fall in
love, of course, and suffer all the routine problems inherent in interspecies romance, including
wildly divergent eating and sleeping habits, immortality, and murder. But with the help of a wise
homeless man known throughout the city as the Emperor (a variation on Robin Williams's
character in The Fisher King) and ""The Animals,"" Tommy's low-IQ'd band of Safeway employees,
not too much blood is shed before the inevitable finale allows Jody and Tommy to be
together...forever. For more information click
