Another thing that Portland has a plethora of this time of year: haunted houses. There's Scream at the Beach up north, Fright Town at the Rose Quarter, The 13th Door at the Washington County Fairgrounds and, while I'm not willing to do a Google search to prove it, probably at least two "Hell Houses" at a few local churches.
But last weekend's "XXX at the Mansion" (that link? Kinda, sorta NSFW) one-night-only event was probably the most, er, "unique" of Portland's 2008 haunted houses. I'm at least 10 - 12% sorry to say that I didn't make it over there for it. Meanwhile, I think the award for "Best Locally Produced TV Ad for a PDX Haunted House" goes to the folks at the 13th Door.
