PORTLAND:
THE SPIRIT OF HALLOWEENTOWN
It’s no “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” or “Night of the Living Dead,” but once in the 1990s, the peaceful waterfront city of St. Helens was overrun by something worse than zombies or headless horsemen — a Hollywood movie crew! The result? A 1998 romp titled “Halloweentown,” still beloved by nostalgic movie fans of all stripes. Now, every October the lovely Oregon town northwest of Portland transforms into a Halloween haven.

HALLOWEEN BINGO
Don your costume, grab your friends and get ready to compete for prizes, but beware — not all prizes are treats.
