Hey Northwest Horror Fans, we've got a massive storm heading our way, with rain and high winds in the forecast. So if you were planning to visit a spooky outdoor attraction this weekend, be sure to check the event's website before heading out. Several events are warning that the weather might force them to close this weekend, so save yourself a trip and make sure the attraction is open before bundling up for the elements! You can check the links on The Shadow Over Portland Corn Mazes, Haunted Corn Mazes and Pumpkin Patches page for website updates and other details. Stay safe out there!!
With that warning out of the way, here's a peek at some of the events I just added to the Horror Calendar.
The 99W Drive-In (Highway 99 (3100 Portland Rd) in Newberg, OR) will screen the 1956 sci-fi classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers tonight, following the remake of The Magnificent Seven through Sunday, October 16. The first film starts at about 7 pm, rain or shine (expect rain and wind this weekend). For more details, and a link to the drive-in's website, visit 99W Facebook Page.

Don't worry, I'll be adding much more to the Horror Calendar, as well as the other pages, this weekend. And remember, if you want your event listed on The Shadow Over Portland, all you need to do is email me at shadowoverportland@live.com and I'll be sure to post it. Remember, I DO NOT CHARGE to list any event. I'm just happy to share all the fun, spooky events happening in the Pacific Northwest.
