Yes, more events have rescheduled, but several have plans to stream movies and events. So while you might not get the complete con/festival experience, at least you can still enjoy some great content in the comfort of your living room.
What do you mean, no one remembered popcorn?!?!
And if you're tired of hanging around the house, plenty of pop-up drive-ins are springing up and many are showing some great films. You'll find a few in this edition of the Weekly Update, but be sure to check out the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar for more coming in the next month.
Remember, if you know of something happening in the Pacific Northwest, you can email me at shadowoverportland@live.com, or message me on Facebook. Provide details and promotional artwork, and I'll post it on the calendar ASAP.
And be safe out there. Wear your mask, continue social distancing, wash your hands and LET'S MAKE HALLOWEEN HAPPEN!!
