The Halloween 2018 page is OPEN!

Yes, THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR is almost upon us, and the Halloween 2018 page is now up and reporting all the corn mazes, haunted mazes and haunted houses coming to the Pacific Northwest.

The ghosts, ghouls and creatures of the night are

waiting for you!

The page is arranged alphabetically according to the city, so you just need to scroll down to places in your neighborhood and see what's coming in the next month.

Of course, the page is a work in progress, so if you don't see your haunted event on the page, just email me at shadowoverportland@live.com with the details and your promotional artwork and I'll get it on the site within a few days.  Best of all, as with the rest of the site, postings are FREE!

Don't forget to check out the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar as well, for all the great movies and stage events coming to the Pacific Northwest.  And be sure to keep checking back, as I'm finding more great treats to share. 

Again, just email me if I have yet to find your event, and I'll post it on the site for FREE!  Traffic at The Shadow Over Portland increases dramatically during the Halloween Season, so be sure your film festival, attraction or Halloween event is on the site and seen by HUNDREDS of Halloween Fanatics across the Pacific Northwest!!
