The result is a memorable and sweaty show that is two-parts dance party and one-part live impromptu production. There is no cover for the Halloween Hellorium.

Stephanie’s Cabin A friendly, comforting and satisfying choice for breakfast, lunch or dinner

G

Growing up on the coast, my folks and I used to eat semi-regularly at a place a lot of locals will remember as The Dutch Cup. Some may even remember the days that came before that, when the restaurant was called Sambo’s. In 2000, the restaurant became Stephanie’s Cabin, helmed by the same family that owned another local mainstay, Andrew and Steve’s. I think the reason we often dined at The Dutch Cup, and the reason people still frequent diner-style restaurants, remains the same: We all like simple, comforting food, warm, friendly service, and prices that don’t break the bank. This is exactly ZKDW \RXœOO ¿ QG DW 6WHSKD nie’s Cabin. Breakfast (except the ZDIÀ HV LV VHUYHG DOO GD\ which is instantly endearing to me, and the menu of lunch and dinner items is long, including some true diner favorites: club sandwiches, meatloaf, and even liver and onions. The space is clean and warm, although the brown vinyl booths could stand an update. Even still, there is something decidedly comforting about the atmosphere. On the breakfast food front, eggs over medium with hash browns were cooked perfectly, with the hash browns crisp, just the way I like them. I didn’t particularly care for the sausage gravy I ordered on the side, as it seemed WRR WKLFN DQG KDG D ELW RI D À RXU \ WDVWH 6DX

I did not care for the clam chowder, as it seemed way too thick for my liking; my spoon could practically stand up on its own. I have worked in restaurants in which soups and chowder sat in counter-top warmers during the day, and by the day’s end, they had often thickened. I was visiting the restaurant late in the day, but of course I cannot say whatsoever that the case was the same here, but it’s my guess. Flavor-wise, the chowder was just okay, nothing too noteworthy, and the clams seemed few and far between. I was not expecting anything spectacular in a green side-salad, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a bowl of spring greens and a very herbaceous vinaigrette dressing. By far the most delicious and most surprising dish of the day was a Greek-style gyro. The owners have Greek heritage, our server told us, and the very authentic-tasting gyro was certainly proof, with grilled strips of beef on a thick pita with tzaziki, feta cheese, red onions, spinach and tomato.

Breakfast (except the waffles) is served all day, which is instantly endearing to me, and the menu of lunch and dinner items is long, including some true diner favorites: club sandwiches, meatloaf, and even liver and onions.

Deur discusses the importance of wild harvesting, of attuning oneself to nature’s cycles and of engaging with the everyday plants growing in one’s neighborhood or just outside town. This is followed by an edible plants guide, arranged in alphabetical order with full-color pictures (about half of which Deur took himself).

ones that everybody knows — are actually all introduced and wouldn’t have been here 150 years ago,� he said. The berry itself is edible, of course, but so are the shoots. In springtime, when the plant develops new growth, the stems send out shoots that draw sugars from the root system. The shoots become soft, nutrient rich and very sweet, Deur said. A person who wants to keep a blackberry patch in check on his or her property without herbicides need only gather the shoots for food.

They may be hungry for the message. He hopes that by helping his readers to better value and understand the resources around them, he is helping them cultivate a more mindful, responsible relationship with their local environment. “It’s much easier to go plowing through an area with a bulldozer if you don’t actually recognize any of the species,� he said.

By RYAN HUME

'HYLO >G‫ܭ‬Y ԥO@ noun 1. the principle antagonist of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The fallen angel, Lucifer; Satan; the ruler of Hell 2. any evil spirit; demon 3. a most wicked or mischievous man: a fiend 4. DEVIL’S CAULDRON: a small, volatile cove snaked between two sheer cliffs, known for its churning waters and located at Oswald West State Park between Cannon Beach and Manzanita, Oregon, right off of U.S. Highway 101.

Origin: Before 1295, devel. From the Greek New Testament, diábolos, a loan translation of Hebrew sātān

in the Old Testament (Tanakh). Enters Old English as dēoful (about 725, Beowulf), meaning an evil spirit, by way of the Late Latin, diabolus, which arose from the Greek. “But one of the place-naming customs which we did inherit from the British is the interesting practice of attaching the word devil to some peculiar, dangerous, or awesome natural formation or site. The English have long applied satanic names to such spots: Devil’s Throat, Devil’s Bellows, Devil’s Kitchen, Devil’s Cauldron, Devil’s Beef Tub. The Americans obviously delighted in such terms and were glad to use some of those which the Englishmen had coined and also to add a proliferation of their own.”

—John H. Goff, “The Devil’s Half Acre,” The Georgia Review, Vol. 9, No. 3, Fall 1955, P. 290 “[…] and if you’re really daring, a descent down the west slope leads to Highway 101and farther to an oceanic cliff-edge view of the Devil’s Cauldron.”

—Sean Patrick Hill, “The Oregon Coast: Neahkahnie Mountain,” Oregon Hiking: The Complete Guide to More Than 490 Hikes, Avalon Travel, 2010, P. 42

What’s your favorite scary movie? By RYAN HUME

“The Devil’s Rejects” (2005)

Thinking of staying in Halloween night? Coast Weekend rounded up some local experts to offer you some film suggestions sure to raise the scruff on the back of your neck.

Rated R

“The Cabin in the Woods” (2012) Rated R Recommended by Greg Anderson Video Horizons 750 Astor St., Astoria 503-325-7310 The takeaway: You know the drill: Five college students head to a secluded cabin in the woods for a weekend of partying, but then things go awry. This smart, tongue-in-cheek homage from Joss Whedon (of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and “Avengers” fame) quickly turns that familiar premise upSubmitted photo side down. While the film is on one hand a send-up of every genre trope ever, director Drew Goddard (another “Buffy” alum and writer of “Cloverfield”) maintains the horror along with the humor. Recommended for: Horror genre aficionados and anyone who likes a little giggle alongside their gore.

“Halloween” (1978) Rated R Recommended by Jim Haugen Universal Video 47 N. Holladay Drive, Seaside 503-738-8877 The takeaway: While technically not the first, John Carpenter’s breakthrough hit is credited with popularizing the slasher genre, as well as introducing the film’s star, Jamie Lee Curtis, and its iconic killer, Michael Myers, to American households. The film is a classic for a reason: It is Submitted photo expertly paced, filled with shadows and voyeuristic camera angles and has an excellent creepy score written by Carpenter himself. This is the one that spawned dozens of imitators, numerous sequels, and a pair of remakes to boot. Recommended for: Anyone too old to trick-or-treat.

22 | October 30, 2014 | coastweekend.com

Recommended by Cameron Dawson Video Depot 575 S. Roosevelt Drive, Seaside 503-738-6095 The takeaway: Rob Zombie’s second film featuring the murderous Firefly clan is a loose sequel and a vast improvement over his first effort, 2003’s baffling and disappointing “House of 1,000 Corpses.” Skip “House” altogether and set out on the highway with the surviving members of the Submitted photo Firefly family. Blending elements of the road movie and exploitation flicks with the raw brutality of the original “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” Zombie’s movie is a twisted love letter to the 1970s B-movies that populated drive-in cinemas and grindhouses in that decade. Coincidentally, the success of “Rejects” let Zombie next pursue a passion project, his 2007 remake of John Carpenter’s “Halloween.” Recommended for: Not just for headbangers, this film will also appeal to anyone who has ever wondered what a mash-up of “Easy Rider” and “Motel Hell” would look like.

“The Fog” (1980) Rated R Recommended by Larry Gresham Nehalem Bay Video 733 Manzanita Ave., Manzanita 503-368-5538 The takeaway: The second Carpenter classic to make the cut, “The Fog” was the director’s follow up to the box office smash of “Halloween.” Playing off the conceits of the traditional ghost story, the film explores the small coastal town of Antonio Bay on the eve of its centennial celebration Submitted photo as it is revisited by some long forgotten victims of the town’s original founders. Bent on vengeance, the spirits rise from their shipwreck as a ghastly fog. This one also stars Jamie Lee Curtis and marks the only on-screen collaboration between her and her mother, Janet Lee (of “Psycho” fame). Mr. Carpenter and Ms. Lee Curtis would work together only one time after this on 1981’s “Halloween II.” Recommend for: Those who prefer atmosphere over axe-wielding madmen, though, be warned, the film is not completely without its gruesome bits.
