Whether you celebrate Easter or not, Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans, I hope you have a nice Sunday. I'd just suggest staying away from any wild rabbits you might see hopping about this weekend. If it's hiding eggs, and behind schedule, expect that encounter to get a bit rough...
Holy crap, the Easter bunny is severely over-caffianated!
To get the season started, take a look at this edition of the Weekly Update. I've found monsters laying eggs, zombies and MUCH MORE to keep you busy after the colored egg hunt is over.
And be sure to check out the
Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, as I've found some great movies, and festivals coming our way. I've got the schedule for the Rio Theatre in Vancouver, BC, the spooky offerings at the Kiggins Theater in Vancouver, WA, and MUCH MORE!
Remember, if you want your event posted on the site, it's easy and FREE! Just email me with all the details, and promotional artwork, at shadowoverportland@live.com, and I'll do the rest!!
From Ashland, OR, to Vancouver, BC, The Shadow Over Portland has you covered!
