Welcome to a very wet Weekly Update!

 

Guess who swam past me on my way to work!

It's been a very wet week in the Pacific Northwest, with flooding streets, landslides and much more.  Thankfully, the weather reports indicate the rain will stop sometime tonight, which will make it nice for Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans who decide to check out some of the great events in this edition of the Weekly Update.

In the next few days, local theaters and venues have kaiju, ghosts, space travel, a dinosaur, and even some trivia!  It might not be as busy as last month, but you'll still find something to do near you.

And next month looks just as busy, with several theaters releasing their December schedules, Krampus events springing up, and MUCH MORE!  You'll find all the details at the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, but you'll want to keep checking back, as I'm updating the page almost every day.

Take care, stay as dry as possible, and I'll be back next week!
