More Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Events are coming back!

Sorry I missed last week, but had a few personal issues I was dealing with, and never got a chance to get back to The Shadow Over Portland office.  So I missed the chance to let you know the Portland Horror Trivia Massacre started up again last Tuesday at Home A Bar (719 SE Morrison St in Portland, OR), but I'll be sure to keep you posted on the next trivia night.

They're backkkkkk..  Oh, wait, wrong movie!

The big news in Tacoma is Friday Night Frights will start scaring movie goers once again in July, at the Blue Mouse Theater (2611 N Proctor St in Tacoma, WA).  I've got no further information at this time, but I'll update you as soon as I get more details.

More scary stuff in theaters is always a welcome sign!

Over at the Hollywood Theatre (4211 NE Sandy Blvd in Portland, OR), the re-opening celebration will include screenings of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Tenet this July in GLORIOUS 70mm!  As soon as I get dates, I'll pass the details to you.

That's the best gift the Hollywood Theatre could give us!

In other Hollywood Theatre news, the Portland Horror Film Festival will be at the theater this year.  However, as the Hollywood isn't opening until July 2, the festival will not start on June 23, as announced earlier.  As soon as the new dates are available, I'll post them on the site.

Film festivals are BACK, and I CAN'T WAIT!!

Rounding out this look at things to come, I'm busy adding the genre films to be screened in the Northwest Film Center series, Cinema Unbound Summer Movies and Open-Air Experiences to the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar.  I should have it updated this weekend, so be sure to check it out!

A couple of small requests before getting to the events happening this week.  If you know of any local venues in the Pacific Northwest that are open and should be included in the Weekly Update and Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, email me at shadowoverportland@live.com with the details and I'll add it to the site.  Remember, getting an event listed on the site is, as always, FREE!

Also, if you enjoy reading The Shadow Over Portland's content and want to support the site, consider buying me a Ko-Fi.  Thank you, and let's get to the Weekly Update!

At the Kiggins Theatre (1011 Main St in Vancouver, WA), George Romero's lost film, The Amusement Park, plays Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 11 to 13, with an exclusive Q and A with George's wife, Suzanne Romero, make up effect wizard Greg Nicotero, author Daniel Kraus (who finished Romero's novel The Living Dead) and moderator Sam Zimmerman, curator at SHUDDER.

Who let the sharks out?  Why, the Joy Cinema and Pub (11959 SW Pacific Highway in Tigard, OR), as the theater is screening the 1975 summer blockbuster classic Jaws through Monday, and the 1983 not-so-classic Jaws 3D tonight and tomorrow in GLORIOUS 3D! 

A Quiet Place Part II continues at the Kiggins Theatre (1011 Main St in Vancouver, WA), the Granada 3 Theatre (1311 Adams Ave in La Grande, OR), the 99W Drive In (3110 Portland Rd in Newberg, OR) right after 1986's Top Gun, and the following McMenamins locations: the Anderson School Theater (18607 Bothell Way NE, Bothell, WA), Bagdad Theater and Pub (3702 SE Hawthorne Blvd in Portland, OR) through Tuesday, June 15, Power Station Theater (2126 SW Halsey St in Troutdale, OR), the Old St. Francis Theater (700 NW Bond St in Bend, OR), and the St. Johns Theater and Pub (8203 N Ivanhoe St in Portland, OR).
