The Davis Graveyard is a Portland, Oregon treasure: a family run, nonprofit annual haunt that is indescribably ambitious, spooky and brilliantly executed.
The Davises have been serving their city for more than a decade, but in Sept they announced that they would not be putting on a show this year, due to the risk of exacerbating the pandemic. It was a heartbreak, but it was also the right call.

But this story has a happy ending. The Clackamas County Scare Fair is a 20-30 minute drive-through, pandemic-safe haunt with a soundtrack broadcast on low-power FM radio, and the Davis Haunt has been integrated into it!

Tickets are $20 for "as many people as you can legally fit in your car" or $11 for a solo. It's yet another reason I wish I lived in the region (I tried to move my family there in 2015 when we emigrated to the USA, but we ended up in LA, which has some badass haunts, too).
Dan "Journal of Ride Theory" Howland says "This is going to be a cross between Lion Country Safari and The Haunted Mansion!"
