IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!


Sorry to be late with this post, Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans, but work has kicked my butt over the past few days, leaving me little time to post the Weekly Update.  But no matter how bad my day job is treating me, it can't dampen my enthusiasm as leaves are falling, the weather is cooling and THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR is now in full swing!

Just the place I need to unwind after a horrifying
day at work!

Be sure, this edition of the Weekly Update is FULL of great spooky events for you to check out.  But, be aware, I'm still finding loads of terrifying goodies to add to the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, so keep checking back.  I'm updating it daily and you won't want to miss out on all the spine chilling events coming your way!

And the Halloween 2018 is filling up fast.  If you're looking for a corn maze, haunted maze or haunted attraction, you'll find a wonderful selection of frightfully fun events for all ages on that page, and MORE IS COMING.  Keep checking back!!
