celebrating: halloween 2026

/ / /

hey tiny.

this is the halloween list. all of it. i dragged my hand from portland to tacoma and scooped up two hundred and thirty-some haunts, drag shows, and witch markets. it includes a corn maze in Wilsonville where someone lost a dog.

more keep crawling out of the dirt. i will add them every week until the 31st. anything fresh gets a [ new ] tag so your little eyes can find it fast.

month-long mazes and film runs sit at the top. then we go week by week. Halloween weekend gets its own block to contain the mess.

this stays behind the wall all month. just here for october? name your price for this list alone. one payment, a dollar or more. want everything? come all the way in. if a friend asks how you found a haunted house in a stranger's living room, do not explain. or tell them giant janet sent you.
