3. Hammer Horror Fans

One of the few Yahoo! groups I've seen lately that is still on topic and still carefully moderated so there isn't any spam! Fans of the Hammer Films and related directors, actors, writers, etc. use this group to connect.

4. Horror Movies

Probably the best LJ community for the horror genre. Lots of posts, not a lot of apparent 13 year olds, and not much Twilight spam. Seems to be well moderated, and with 2000 members to contribute, you'll likely find a lot here of interest.
