It's time for a VERY LATE edition of the Weekly Update

You might think it's a waste of time, but I've got some great events to share happening tonight, Thursday night, and the coming weekend, that I had to get this edition out.  I even included a sneak peek of next week, though expect to see more.  Much more.  SO MUCH MORE. 

I don't think I can handle much more... Oh a new haunted attraction.  Uh oh...

The good news is, I'm no longer scheduled for mandatory (cough cough, forced) overtime at the day job, which I've been scheduled for (with a few weeks off) since the pandemic started.  Sure, my wallet will take a hit, but I'm hoping this frees up more time, and energy, for working on the blog and several other projects.

Also, you'll notice that I've included all the haunted attractions and corn mazes in the Live Attractions Happening Now heading.  I don't expect to get a separate page up this year, but I'll be sure to let you know if I do.

Please check out the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar if you want to see the events I've found for the rest of October, the remainder of 2024, and even a few events coming in 2025.

Well, that's what I have for you now.  Stay safe, and I'll be back (hopefully) in a couple days with another Weekly Update from The Shadow Over Portland.
