FAQ
How much does it cost to join The Ossuary, upload and share videos, participate in the forums, create a group, etc?
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. Free. Any confusion on that one?
Why "The Ossuary"? What does that mean?
From the English version of Wikipedia:

An ossuary is a chest, building, well, or site made to serve as the final resting place of human skeletal remains.

An Ossuary can take several forms, including a crypt or tomb of sorts where the bones of many people are laid out together. Sometimes they are used to decorate the walls and create religious scenes as well as chandeliers and other hanging fineries.

Remember Cemetery Man? The first kiss between the zombie killer and the fair maiden happened in the ossuary. What better place for Horror Freaks to congregate?
