I really hope you have saved your money up and rested, because there are really an amazing amount of Halloween-related events this year in Portland. We have many more coming, and feel free to send any events that we have missed to pdxpipeline at the gmail.

Also, we'll be rolling around on Halloween weekend with live pictures, tweets, and possibly video of the events. The easiest way to follow that will be Twitter.com/pdxpipeline

From Jason at Floating World Comics.

What do you do the night BEFORE Halloween? The night before HE CAME HOME? Why, you go to a naturally haunted house like the Bagdad Theater to watch the PORTLAND PREMIERE of Eric Red's new ghost movie, 100 FEET.

***25 FREE PASSES AVAILABLE AT FLOATING WORLD COMICS***

We're excited to be doing the Portland premiere. 100 FEET is about a woman (Famke Janssen, X-MEN), released from jail for murdering her husband, a NYC cop. Under house arrest, she wears an ankle cuff (she can't go more than 100 feet). The catch is–her slain husband's ghost is still around, in the house, mean as ever…

in other words, HOME…NOT ALONE

Writer-Director Eric Red will be in attendance. You may know his screenplays for THE HITCHER, NEAR DARK and BLUE STEEL (the latter two co-written with Kathryn Bigelow). Eric also directed COHEN AND TATE, BODY PARTS, and BAD MOON. Appearing with Red, will be one of the actors, Michael Pare (EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS, STREETS OF FIRE).

100 FEET is a crisp, rocky chiller with moments of wracked emotion. Read the rest of this entry »

Berbati's comes through on Halloween with the Famous Mysterious Actor show. If you haven't seen this before, you can watch clips at the myspace.

From Famous Mysterious:

I'm the host of my own talk show cuz' I am strong and tall. My friends are John Schmitt, Cutter & Denny. Denny will whup you if you try to tease me or Cutter. We all like it when JS gets teased, but not about his rampant Cat Aids. We love it.

I've held the FMA players to a strict training regiment to better prepare them for the Famous Mysterious Actor Show Halloween extravaganza. Throughout the trick-or-treat two-a-days, deep-sea apple-bobs, and sweatshop costume sew-athons, I watched as their boyish zeal for Halloween faded into the cold calculation of hardened professionals.

They were almost ready for the show of their lives; I wasn't about to watch it all unravel because of a love so forbidden and taboo that it could have only come from the libido of John Schmidt

Tickets: for the Famous Mysterious Actor Show Halloween Extravaganza available at Berbati's Pan, Jackpot records (both locations), and online at ticketweb.com.
