If you want to know what being overloaded with TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF is like, you should visit The Shadow Over Portland office right now. Just as I think the number of great events happening in the Pacific Northwest can't get any bigger, I'm proven wrong. Over and over again. It's enough to drive one MAD!
Yeah, Renfield, I'm right there with you, buddy.
Now, I could be spending more time updating the site, rather than putting out this edition of the Weekly Update. But I've found stuff Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans will want to know about NOW! For example, the
Masters of Practical Effects series at
The Hollywood Theatre in Portland, OR, doesn't happen until November, but tickets will sell out soon, as effects wizards Chris Walas and Rick Baker will be at the screenings!
The Joy Cinema in Tigard, OR, has released the films in this year's
Scare-A-Thon and it's going to be an AMAZING TIME!
And the next two weekends are so full of great movies, stage presentations and other events that you need to start making plans NOW!
And, as I've said before, MORE IS COMING! I think I've got all the events taking place until the next Weekly Update comes out, but if I missed a few, expect another Special Edition to keep you informed.
Be sure to check out the
Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, as I've added quite a few November events. It's also got some great things coming in the few days before Halloween, so make take a look now, and check back later, as more will be added. It's THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR and you know I'll be adding as much as I can as the days tick down to October 31.
And be sure to check out the
Halloween 2018 page. I've added details about the
Ashland High School Theatre Haunted Hotel event this weekend, and the
Portland Haunted Strip Club (yep, we have one) opening next week. The page still needs some work, but I'll be pulling some OT to get it in line before Halloween comes.
If I missed your event, email me at shadowoverportland@live.com and let me know all the details. And please provide some promotional artwork, so I can get all the details on the site ASAP. And remember, you don't need to worry about the bill, because posting your event on the site is FREE!
