It's easy to fall into the Post Halloween Blues. The start of the normal holiday season is upon us, and you start to wonder if you'll have to wait until next October to ease your craving for something other than another Christmas special on television.
Unless you've been very good and your cable provider
feels like being a bit less traditional this year.
Well cheer up, Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans! This edition of the Weekly Update is full of great events to keep the Halloween Spirit alive in your hearts. Take a look below for details on the special screening of
American Satan at
