Anyone in the Buffalo or Syracuse NY area?

Hey guys, I'm curious if anyone is currently in the Buffalo or Syracuse NY area, or if you know of any horror groups or organizations. They don't have to be writers-specific, but film, etc. You're free to send a PM. Thanks! :D

I live in Bflo. :)

There's this: http://www.justbuffalo.org/

It's a writer's group. I haven't joined it, so I don't know anything about it, sorry.

I couldn't find any film groups--sorry again. Perhaps someone with better Google-fu will show up here. Horror is way out of mainstream in Bflo, methinks. When I ran a small writer's group (up till last year) even the other members looked at me funny when I said I wrote horror.

Rochester, which lies more or less between Syracuse and Buffalo, has a very active writing community, often stemming from hook-ups at Writers and Books (http://www.wab.org/). My critique group of 17 years started there--but we're genre-exclusive, and it's not horror.

However, I often see notices in this or that publication suggesting that there are many other genre-specific and all-fiction-types writing or critique groups meeting in the area.

Maryn, whose group met today
