Dude, the downtown is really dead tonight

More brains! Cyrpticon, a three-day horror convention, screams into downtown Everett this weekend with screenings and panel discussions on horror movies, indie comics and more.

Considering our lack of sunny days this spring, most of us are a little on the pale side. So here’s a hint if you need to tell the difference between a human and a zombie this weekend: Zombies don’t carry grande Starbucks lattes.

We both found what we were looking for: Yakima fire officials say that a fire that gutted the VFW post was caused by a rat that chewed through electrical wiring for the post jukebox.

The rat told investigators he was upset that a Carrie Underwood song had replaced Michael Jackson’s “Ben” on the jukebox.

The Incredible Journey: Teenage burglar, fugitive and noted animal lover Colton Harris-Moore apparently left a $100 donation and a taunting note at veterinary clinic in Raymond, hoping the money would go for the care of animals.

It’s not well-known, but Harris-Moore is such a lover of animals that his traveling companions include a Siamese cat, a Labrador, an English bull terrier and narrator Rex Allen.
