"Welcome to the most allergy-infested field in Oregon," says Sasha Roiz, as he stands in an open area of Kelley Point Park, off North Marine Drive. It's a warm September day, and the air is full of tiny objects -- insects, organic matter and various substances apparently floating down from the tall trees above.
Though Roiz suspects most of the airborne stuff is pollen waiting to attack unsuspecting sinuses, he says, "There's everything floating in the air."
But the aerial invaders are too benign an irritant to really faze Roiz or the rest of the cast and crew at the park to film the Halloween episode of "Grimm." After all, the hit NBC series is the story of Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli), a Portland homicide detective with a secret life -- he's a Grimm, able to see the strange creatures lurking below the surface of seemingly normal humans.
Over the course of Season 1, and so far in Season 2, the filmed-in-Portland series has shown Nick contending with snake-like monsters, saber-toothed beasts, murderous ogres and the like. With all this, the "Grimm" veterans can cope with bees, pollen and dust particles hovering in the Portland park's atmosphere.
Indeed, the Halloween episode (which airs Oct. 26) being filmed tells a story chilling even for "Grimm." The episode explores "La Llorona," a Latin American folk tale about a woman who, after she's rejected by the father of her children, angrily throws the children in the river, where they drown. Though the woman dies, too, she lives on as a ghost who can sometimes be heard weeping for her lost children...
