Haunts Are Still Open For The Season!

I hope everyone had a great haunt season and Halloween. But please don't forget that haunts are still open and this includes one of the best rated haunts in the nation. Of course I'm speaking of Netherworld. Netherwold in Atlanta, GA will be open November 13th and 14th and so Will The Darkness in St. Louis, MO. So please make sure to check out these top rated haunts before it's too late. But not only are these haunts open, so are some that may be in your area. So please make sure to keep up to date with your haunts and visit them this weekend as well as next.

Transworld Halloween and Attractions Show 2010

It seems like this year the Transworld Haunt Show has a bit of an identity crisis. It's not sure if it wants to focus on Haunted Attractions or the Halloween industry. To top it off it now is featuring items for waterparks. Hopefully next year's show won't suffer in quality because it's trying to please the amusement park, Halloween and Haunt industry instead of focusing its efforts on just haunts which was it's original intention. No longer is the show free since there will be a $40 registration free which includes some free goodies you can find out about by visiting www.hauntshow.com.

"Michael Jackson Dies At The Age of 50"

Michael Jackson the King of Pop and what Halloween enthusiasts know him as the King of Thriller and Ghosts video has died at the age of 50 from an apparent heart attack. Even though He has died his music will live forever in people's hearts and will be played forever at Halloween parties and haunted houses.

Ironstock: Final Year of Fear!

The annual Ironstock Haunt Conference will be taking place Saturday June 27th through Sunday June 28th. This may possibly be the final year for what has become a tradition for Halloween and haunt enthusiasts. Activities include a Coffin Race, Pine Box Derby, Prop Swap, Fatal Fashion Show and much more. Also this weekend there will be plenty of vendors, demos and the always favorite Weasel Ball. So if you love anything haunted and spooky make sure to head out to Tell City Indiana this weekend for Irontock.

Pilot for Network TV

We have a surprise for you! We’ve been sitting on this for a couple months, but its time to let the cat out of the bag… Post Time Productions will be videotaping the entire weekend at the Midwest Haunters Convention. They are shooting a pilot for several TV networks. They’ll be taping the parties, trade show, contests and classes. They’ll edit this down to a 30 minute TV show that the networks have expressed an interest in. The program highlights strange and unusual conventions in America. We’re honored they chose our convention to feature in the pilot. Why the MHC? For the past three years; our Saturday night masquerade party has been featured on AOL’s top 13 Freaky Attractions. Also they watched the nearly dozen vides on MySpace highlighting MHC and the unusual activities at our show. Here’s your chance to appear on national television! Bring your best costume/character to the MHC.

The area where we parked hearses last year is under construction. Hearse parking options include valet parking in front of the hotel for $23 per day. Everyone entering the Hyatt will see the cars; as people walk/drive by. Alternative parking options include a nearby parking garage at $10 per day or open surface lots at $7 - $8 per day. There is a limited number of parking spaces in front of the hotel. Please let us know if you will be utilizing valet parking so they can hold enough spots. E-mail Kelly@midwesthaunters.com
