Er... excellent movie, but it took place a long way from Iceland; Antarctica, to be precise. Oddly enough, the original story and movie took place in the Arctic.

There are very few trees there, so in March it was 18 below and the wind was fierce. When you go riding, they give you a snowmobile suit to put on over your other clothes and coat.
Hello, I'm James from Denver. I read a bit of everything, but have a real soft spot for horror, esp. late 70's to mid 80's, i.e. Charles Grant, Herbert, etc. Am looking forward to reading and discussing with you all.

Hello, everyone!My name's Ashley and I'm a pretty big horror fan. I'm a Poe fan. I'm a pretty big horror movie watcher and I'm trying to watch more. I like the older stuff more than the newer stuff out there. Stuff like The Thing and The Shining and pretty much anything thriller/horror based that Hitchcock touched.
I'm a writer and I'm pretty involved in the Nosleep stuff on Reddit, but I definitely want to participate in other forums so I found this one and thought it'd be cool to come hang out.
Mod
We're not the busiest or most regimented Reading Group here at Goodreads, but we're nice and kinda' fun to be around. Hopefully, some input from you will spur conversation. :)
~Eric
I'm Dave. I'm from Connecticut. I write, but I'm not published with my fiction yet. I'm currently working on a dark fantasy novel, but I also have a horror novel going.I like horror books, movies and comics. I've always read some horror, but recently I've been reading more of it. Most recently I've been reading Hugh B. Cave, James Herbert and Peter Benchley. Old favorites are Robert Bloch, Norman Partridge, Neal Gaiman, K. W. Jeter and Stephen King.
I decided to join because I liked the name of your group.
Mod
Welcome here. I must confess that I also joined this group because of the cool name. ;)
The holidays have slowed down that the activity here a bit, but maybe some of your recent posts will spur some conversation in this new year.
See you here and there.

Hello, hiya, and welcome to all newcomers!
Hi everyone, my name is Alex and I'm from Saint Paul, Minnesota.I have had a love for horror ever since I watched my first horror movie (Nightmare On Elm Street) when I was about 11 years old. I also find serial killers and other true crime extremely fascinating. IMO, a lot of that is way scarier than any fiction horror.
:)
Mod
Welcome to the creepiest, eeriest, scariest, and a few other ests group at GoodReads. Well, not really, but we like to think it's the awesomest group. :)
Snoop around. Start some new and interestingly creepy threads. We love meeting new boils and ghouls here at Scaredy Cat. ;)

Not a bad horror movie to start with. Welcome Alex.
Thanks Eric and Ken! My name is short for Alexandria.

How do from eastern Long Island where this librarian finally dug out of the snow and came back to work! I've been known to scare myself into a fugue state with a good book and am intrigued by any group that has topics like "the weirdest person I've ever met" especially since every ex-boyfriend I've ever had pretty much fits the bill!

You'll be happy to know that we try to limit the creeps to only being on the pages around here.

Hello to the Scared Cats! I hope you're planning a chilling weekend of fun and good times and good books. I'm Kay, best known for my erotic romance books and films. My passions run deep with erotica, and also with horror and last week I published my first non-erotic horror/ghost story novella "Soles" on Amazon/KU. Soles Kay Brandt
This seems like a fun group, and I'm looking forward to participating on the threads. I'd also like to give away a few copies of my book, too. Please direct me to the best thread for that.
Thanks, and happy Friday!
Mod
W E L C O M E, K A Y ! ! !
Erotica can be pretty scary sometimes, too. You'll fit right in here. :)
Ha! Yeah, maybe I scared them all? And no one has asked for a free copy?? Crazy. Thanks for welcoming me, Eric! I love ALL CAPS!!!! Oh, I have a YouTube page that just launched. There's silly clips of me, but also of the adult film I wrote/directed last year "Safe Landings" which was also based on the erotic romance novel I published last summer. https://youtu.be/BDfao0KbcUA
