What is HAuNTcon?

HAuNTcon is an acronym for the Haunted Attraction National Tradeshow and Conference, an expo and convention “Designed by Haunters, for Haunters” of every age and level of experience. HAuNTcon brings people who love Haunted Houses, Halloween and scaring people together for a fun-filled four days and nights Haunt Tours, Education, Tradeshow and Networking, rounded out by a Haunted Garage Sale and the amazing annual Costume Ball.

In this podcast I have a conversation with Leonard Pickel, owner of HAuNTcon, about all the cool happenings the show has to offer in 2015. The Haunt Tours of Necropolis 13, The 13th Gate, Rise Haunted House, and The Mortuary. And the awesome lineup of training for haunters.

The Garage of Evil will also be offering some workshops and training as Steve has teamed up with HAuNTcon this year to expand the training available to more Haunters that are eager to learn.

The West Coast Haunter’s Convention: Tapping into the Mind of Ed Roberts

Haunt ConventionIn Episode 13 of HaunTopic Radio, we mind travel to the West Coast and share a few moments with Ed Roberts; the man behind The West Coast Haunter’s Convention. It will be held in Portland, OR on June 1-3, 2012 at the Doubletree Hotel. This convention is open to all Halloween fans, Home Haunters, Haunt Owners, Vendors, Artists, and everyone else who loves the Dark & Scary. And it only costs $40 for the whole weekend.

We’re talking Haunt Tours, Make & Takes, Pretty Hearses to look at, Haunters like You to talk to, Over 40 Classes, Tradeshows, a Costume Ball, and many other possibilities. Ed is also helping The Oregon School for the Def by using money earned from the Convention to support to those who need it most. Watch the video below: The Extreme Makeover comes to help out the school & their Haunt.

All of this….all on the West Coast…and for charity?

Oh yeah…he is offering all Home Haunters a FREE TABLE at the convention.

10 Things To Do In St.Louis When You’re Not At TransWorld

So you’ve got your registration in order. Your passes are sitting safely in your multi-coded security safe. You’ve booked your plane tickets and/or hotel rooms. You are eagerly awaiting TransWorld like a kid before Halloween. Ready to pounce and react. But have you thought about what you’re going to do when visions of zombies and bloody corpses aren’t dancing in your head? St.Louis is a wonderful city with soul and spirit and this would be a wonderful opportunity to explore all those things. Here are some ideas to help get you started.

  1. Go to InSane sHane’s Party: Thursday night. It starts at 7:30 pm. And it’s at the Renaissance Grand Hotel Crystal Ball Room. $95 a person. With many extra benefits.
  2. Go watch the Shock Illusionist Dan Sperry. Friday night. A 7:00 pm show and a 11:00 pm show.
  3. Go up inside the Arch. Daily Tours. 9-5 pm. Not sure of the price. But who doesn’t want to go to the top of the Arch?
  4. Go to a casino. Lumiere Place or Harrah’s. The two closest one’s. Make sure you save some money for buying props.
  5. Get your party on at The Landing. A historical area on the riverfront with pure charm and entertainment. Food, drinks, music, and people like you.
  6. TransWorld’s Opening Night Industry Party. Thursday night. 5:3o-7:30. Free with your registration.
  7. Haunted House Behind the Scene Tour: The Darkness, Terror Visions 3D and Lemp Brewery. Thursday 7:30-10:30 pm.
  8. Haunted Attraction Association Auction & Party: Friday night. 5:30-7:30pm. Free to attend and bid on all types of haunt stuff.
  9. The City Museum. Anyone with an imagination has to see this place. They are even open until 1 am on Friday and Saturday night.
  10. Go eat at Pappy’s Smokehouse or Bogart’s Smokehouse! You can’t leave St.Louis without eating real St.Louis BBQ. Or an order of toasted ravioli and gooey butter cake.

I want to give thanks to Lauren Lobosky for her input on this post. A St.Louis resident, Rotting Flesh Radio Casket Crew Member, and fellow Haunter. See you at the party sister!
