Yep, I found even more great Halloween season happenings!

It happens every year (well, with the exception of the last two, but let's not talk about that).  I start to feel comfortable that I couldn't possible find anymore for Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/ Fantasy Fans to do during the Halloween Season, but I always end up being wrong.  And that was the case this week, as I scrambled to ensure this edition of the Weekly Update happened on time.

  That's me at the office when I think I'm done and five more events show up on the computer.

Thankfully, I wasn't behind on the site, as is the case sometimes, and was able to fill this edition with a bunch of great movies, haunted tours, stage shows and MORE!

As usual, this update only covers the next ten days.  So, if you want to see what is happening during the rest of the Halloween Season, or the last two months of 2022, head over to the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar.  I've got events listed through Halloween 2023, so you can start planning next year as well!

Don't forget to check out the Halloween 2022 page for all the haunted attractions and corn mazes I could find in the Pacific Northwest.

Well, time to get back to the day job.  Everyone have a great week and I'll be back next Friday with more great events happening under The Shadow Over Portland!

If you'd like to support the site, please visit my Ko-fi page.  Thank you!
