"As with most major holidays, celebrations leading up to Halloween are just as important as (if not more than) the main event. In Portland this week, the eves before All Hallow's Eve promise cauldrons of tom yum pozole, classic horror screenings, and the real Big Scary-a novel that asks, "What if the Cascadia earthquake came while you were noshing on IKEA meatballs??" Plus, screenings of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein are a solid reminder that a woman kinda-sorta invented the sci-fi genre."
"Two of Portland's tastiest restaurants are cooking up something special this fall... For one night only, Mis Tacones and Norah's Cauldron of Culture pop-up will serve colorful and flavorful Thai-Mexican fusion dishes including peanut satay nachos, tom yum pozole, tempeh chimichangas, khao soi tofu tacos, and a special dessert from La Casa de Mama. As the restaurant owners write, "Fall is a very special time of year for both of our communities, with its traditions, seasonality, and memories from our cultures,""
Portland's pre-Halloween programming includes food pop-ups, film screenings, and literary events. A one-night Thai-Mexican pop-up by Mis Tacones and Norah's Cauldron of Culture will serve peanut satay nachos, tom yum pozole, tempeh chimichangas, khao soi tofu tacos, and a special dessert from La Casa de Mama at 1450 NE Alberta at 4 pm. Classic horror screenings continue, including The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) at Cinemagic through Oct 30, noted for shaping the slasher and found-footage subgenres and for its influential portrayal of a traumatized final girl. Screenings of Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein pair with recognition of Mary Shelley as an originator of science fiction.
