Well, I'm working to get caught up with the Horror Calendar, but I know I've missed a few events since I had to take time out and calm down my brain worms.  But no matter how hard I try, I keep feeling like Rick and the crew from The Walking Dead trying to outrun the cannibals in Terminus.  No matter where you go, you always miss something and are re-directed.

Wait, this looks familiar....

Oh, it's the end of last season without the zombie fence!

Anyway, check out the Horror Calendar and if I missed your event, PLEASE email me at shadowoverportland@live.com and I'll be sure to add it.  I know I usually end my post with this, but I'm SO behind, I need Northwest Horror Fans to help get me back up to speed.  So, even if you only know of an event, please email me.

Ongoing

Submissions are being accepted for the PDXtreme Fest, 3 days of horror, crime, gore and more at the the Academy Theater (7818 SE Stark) in Portland, OR, December 2 through 4 this year.  You can find more details on how to enter your film at the Facebook Event Page.

Mental Trap Escape Room Game invites you, and four to ten members, to escape a locked room in one hour.  And yes, it is timed.  Created by the devious minds behind 13th Door Haunted House, Glowing Greens Miniature Golf and Haunted Productions, this offers you the challenge to find the clues keeping you locked in the room and escape within an hour.  But, as the website suggests, it's not as easy as it sounds.  Located at 3855 SW Murray Blvd in Portland, OR, you can challenge your wits (and those of your team mates) to solve the puzzle before time expires.  I don't know what happens if you don't succeed, but that's part of the fun.  For more details, visit the link.

Bleedingham, a Northwest Horror Short Film Festival, is now excepting submissions.  The chosen films will screen at the Pickford Film Cinema (1318 Bay St) in Bellingham, WA later this year.  More details can be found at the official website.
