Sharon,

Looks like I'll be going to NHC again this year too! I'll probably going on Saturday. Jay, Dave, and I were going to go to Hauntcon for the weekend, but Jay was having trouble getting off from work so it didn't make sense for a 6 hr. drive for one day, so we'll be hitting up NHC instead.

It was fun last year so I'm hoping for a repeat performance this time around too.

What Spooky1 said, Joisey - we plan on going on Saturday. I don't think HauntCast will have a booth this year, so we'll have to decide on a place for everyone to meet up as we did last year.

If my boss doesn't go on Saturday than I will most likely just go the day that I can meet up with all you guys. I had a really good time last year and I don't want to miss out this year. We will have to figure out where we all can meet on Saturday as it gets closer. Hey Rich if I don't go with my boss than maybe we can all go up together?

What to do!?!?! I was going to NHC then change my mind to Hauntcon. It looks like more vendors at hauntcon. Now I think about going to NHC just so it would be a day trip. It sucks why did both shows have to be on the same weekend :(
 
#12 ·
We feel your pain, Devil. I think they're actually hurting each other because there will be vendors who can't cover both.

We still plan on going up to NHC on Saturday of that weekend.

What can NHC do that would TOP any other haunted house convention? How about if we bring, not one, but TWO haunted attractions RIGHT SMACK DAB INTO THE MIDDLE OF OUR SHOW FLOOR !!!! WITH ACTORS!! ( I say that because another con had a haunt without any actors.)

Psycho Trail will be providing us with rare, one of a kind attractions (both of them)
"Infected" (Zombie theme), and " Big Top Mayhem" ( 3D Clown theme ) Blood thirsty zombies and demented clowns await you around and twist and turn of Psycho Trail at our convention ! HOW COOL IS THAT ??!?!

Video of their 2010 event


A CON WITH TWO WORKING HAUNTS ON RIGHT ON THE SHOW FLOOR !!! WOWZERS !

NEW FLOORPLAN WITH HAUNTS:

P.S. There was a comment earlier in this thread about Hauntcon having more vendors than NHC, I just spoke with Michael and he said that we currently have 52 vendors (not booths, unique vendors) confirmed, and I just counted Hauntcon's vendor count and it's 36, so clearly NHC already have one and half times more vendors lined up.
Not trying to be confrontational, and definitely not saying anything negative, I'm just double checking my facts.

Yay, the vendor list has been updated!:) I see FaceOff Season 2 has a booth this year.

FG, we'll definitely do a meetup - gotta get that HF group picture for all posterity:)

Let me find out if Rich will be driving to the convention and I will let you know Roxy. I will ask Rich at the Make and Take to see if I will be going with him or driving to the convention myself. As far as I can tell 1 - 1:30 sounds like a good time. What about IMU, Jim, Mark or any of the other people from last year going to be at the convention???

New Classes available!

Hey guys, At National Haunters Convention
the stars aligned and I am able to get to NHC this year. I will be teaching two classes while I am there. I know classes can be hit or miss I swear these will be worth it. They are also very reasonably priced.
here are the links to the classes, one is on Costuming miracles (things I have discovered) and the other is on Haunt actor team work I guarantee everyone will pick something up in these classes.
I hope to see you there!
