Fright Nights!

Looking for a little more trick than treat, here are some haunted houses around town this season. If you’re looking for some historically scary fun, check out our recent blog post on Portland’s Haunted underground.

ScareGrounds PDX at Oaks Park

Sellwood’s Oaks Park embraces the spooky season with three haunted houses alongside its usual rides and carnival games. This year’s highlights include a theater haunted by horror villains, a creepy royal court with a dragon (“Can you escape before it consumes you?” Maybe!), and a chance to join a secret monster-slaying group. Don’t miss family night every Sunday, and be sure to try zombie archery!

The Fear PDX

The Fear PDX fancies itself “Portland’s Scariest Haunted House,” so this is targeted at more serious scare-seekers. The haunted house features “scare zones.” Outside you’ll find a toxic waste–filled pumpkin farm and clown-filled fun house. You’ll also find several escape rooms, like the Slasher Shed, Chopped, not to be confused with the cooking show!
12219 NE Glisan St., Portland

Underhill Haunted House

North Portland’s Underhill takes over 40,000 square feet of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum for the spookiest month. The haunted mansion, a vampiric lair, is joined by two exhibits: an alien-infested spaceship and, new this year, a swampy witches’ bog. Younger guests can enjoy Monster Fest on October 20 and 27, when the haunted areas are open for roaming in daylight.

We hope this round-up of events gives you and your family ideas for making memories! Enjoy the sweater weather, pumpkin spice, tricks and treats and we’ll see you in the community!
