Looking for a new creep show to kick off this season of scare? Shot in Eugene and Coburg by local director Scott Phillips, Crowbar: The Movie is a thriller with the stark, brooding atmospherics (and bloody mayhem) of John Carpenter’s Halloween and the classic horror fi lm set-up of a young couple relocating to a new town where things slowly reveal themselves to be a bit off, to say the least. The movie, which is being release by Sean Schoppe’s Eugene-based Over the Line Films, features such Oregon bred talent as Natasha Timpani (as Veronica Stark) and Charlene Westbrook (as Julie), and is currently on a “Eugene Media Tour” — which means you can catch the world debut of Crowbar at 8pm Saturday at McDonald Theatre. $8; take a gander at www.crowbarthemovie.com Teen Memoir Writing Workshop, 2-3:30pm, Springfi eld Library, 225 Fifth St., Spfd.
