PORTLAND, Ore. — Portland (and the surrounding area) has some terrifyingly good Halloween events and attractions you won’t want to miss. Grab your costumes (and your masks) and get ready for a scream! We compiled a list of events from scary to kid-friendly for you to get into this season:
Haunted Corn Maze
Oct. 1-30 (various days)
This haunting corn maze is open on Fridays and Saturdays in October at Bella Organic Farms. Make your way through acres of corn (and the Upside Down from Stranger Things) as Michael Myers and the Demogorgon chase you. Along the way, you will encounter ghouls, goblins and zombies. But if that’s a little too spooky for you there is a normal corn maze free of psychopathic serial killers for you to enjoy.
