“Keep Portland Monstery”

A mystereous Krewe of Monsters musters, as cardboard, paper, paint and cloth are reassembled in garages and basements all around Portland into wondrous new forms: apparitions richly laden with horns, tentacles, tusks and tails, or others starkly skeletal or even alien in their glued and taped-together configurations...

Do YOU hear the gargle-growl or rumble-roar of the Monster Rumpus? Will you warm up your glue guns and rev your sewing machine motors in preparation to join us??

Tentative upcoming Rumpus dates:

  • St Johns Business District Community Trick or Treat, Saturday October 28th 2023, 1-3pm, St Johns neighborhood. Dance-Rumpus in the downtown Plaza on level ground with OK overhead clearance (some trees).
  • PDX Krampuslauf, early December 2023, Sewallcrest Park & SE Hawthorn Blvd. 1.5 mile nighttime sidewalk procession on uneven ground (curbs) with poor overhead clearance--best suited for monsters under 8' (including horns) in height.
