Halloween 2018 page is now up and reporting all the corn mazes, haunted mazes and haunted houses coming to the Pacific Northwest.
The ghosts, ghouls and creatures of the night are
waiting for you!
The page is arranged alphabetically according to the city, so you just need to scroll down to places in your neighborhood and see what's coming in the next month.
Of course, the page is a work in progress, so if you don't see your haunted event on the page, just email me at shadowoverportland@live.com with the details and your promotional artwork and I'll get it on the site within a few days. Best of all, as with the rest of the site, postings are FREE!
