Hauntcast will once again be represeting at the NHC this year.

Denny & I will be lurking around Thursday night, and hanging at the Hauntcast booth on Friday and Saturday. Stop by for your free hug from Denny and be sure to keep us from dehydrating. :D

I'll take a free hug from Denny AND you any day, JT:)


Hmmm, don't know if I can help with that dehydrating part, though.....:D

No offense, JT, but I preferred the hug from Shelly last year. :D

Hey Mark I was going to go with Jay from our Make and Take group, but I'm still waiting to see if he will be able to make it. We were going to split the cost of the travel cost. If you want to join us than you are more than welcome to come. PM me and I will give you more details.

Yep, the hugs are free but you'll have to pay for the good stuff ;)

looking forward to seeing some old faces and I'm really excited to meet some of the folks I missed last year as well as the newcomers.

Hauntcasts Scream Team members Johnny Thunder and Denny will be at the National Haunt Con Friday and Saturday. We are raffling off one of Denny's Pumpkin Thief props and a sculpt. Any one who buys a one year subscription to Hauntcast at the show gets $5 worth of raffle tickets. I think JT is working the glory hole as well.

Looks like I've been convinced to attend as well, on Saturday anyway. Since both Joiseygal and FrightGuy are going, I figured I'd tag along too. Looking forward to my first haunt con.

We'll start sorting through the photos and videos in a day or two - also need sleep (but not beer:D)

The National Haunter Con was a blast. Glad we had a chance to meet up with lots of forum folks. We'll post pic of the sites and our purchases soon.

It was so cool meeting so many people from the Hauntforum. :) Everyone is so nice and I could of spent the whole time talking instead of checking out the Convention. Although I did spend a little time walking around looking at Halloween items, so I will upload a video in a couple of days! Oh and guess who won Denhaunt's Pumpkin Thief....ummm should I tell you now or wait until my video is posted???

RoxyBlue
05-07-2011, 10:29 PM
Spill, spill, Joisey! Who won the pumpkin thief?


Oh wait, had to be you since he called the winners and you left before the drawing:jol:

Hey I thought you were sleeping?!?!? I'm sure someone from the Convention will spill the beans before my video comes out. Since I like you so much, I will text you and let you know! :)

BB,

Damn! Were we at the same convention? I don't recall any caged girls dancing. And I missed the whole Human Centipede set up. Where the heck was that?! I apparently missed the "adult" rooms. I'm going to have to look around a lot more carefully next time.

And yes, there was some definite man-love vibes being sent during those pics.

I heard from the NHC Day 1 vlog something about a "tingle".

Glad I checked out early!

Glad we decided to go to the NHC this year. Think they had more things I was interested in this year than the year before. We had a blast and met so many nice people from the forum. Nice day trip... See you all on the forum......

The Great HauntForum Meet Up being filmed by the dapper Denny. The green thing at the top of the screen appears to be an artifact of a fix I did on the video that appeared after uploading it to Photobucket.

Great stuff Spooky1! Where is the mask from?

It's from Dream Scape. It's actually not a mask, since it's partially filled. I plan on making a werewolf static prop. They said I could order arms and legs to match.

Great videos Roxy! I like the mask Spooky, it's great that they have the arms and legs to match it. I liked the Dreamscape booth, they did have a lot of great stuff. It was great to meet everyone we should try to organize a huge Hauntforum meet up/party in the future...I am sure that would be a hard thing to coordinate with everyone living all over but it was so much fun hanging out with everyone.

I think that is called a Flash cracker and Frightprops had them at thier NHC convention table. It's loud and would scare the crap out of somebody who wasn't expecting it! :D

Too bad I didn't stumble onto this forum BEFORE the NHC, I would have loved to met fellow haunters in the area! Darn it!! I did have a great time at NHC. Did anyone else do the tour? They put on a great show!

Last year the meetup was very small ... maybe about 4 or 5 people. This year the 'group' planned it a little better so we had a nice meetup. I'm sure we'll plan another meetup for next year! :D
