Hoping for HauntCon Updates!

I couldn't be at HauntCon this year (dang!) but I know several others who are. I've asked for updates from them so I can keep you all, my adoring half a dozen fans, in the know. Hopefully, they will come through for us.

And, next up, Midwest Haunter's Convention!

Titanic Exhibit at MHC

Ok, I know that the Titanic is exactly haunty, but it is creepy. It's been an obsession of mine since I first heard about back in my early teens.

And, now, the good part. . . .

THE TITANIC EXHIBIT IS GOING ON DURING MHC THIS YEAR!!

I've only seen it twice (I mentioned my obsession, right?) so I can't wait to see it a third time in Columbus. Who's with me?

If you need help making that decision, might a suggest a stroll through the website.

OK, again, who's with me?

Things are looking up!

Thanks to some fancy scheduling, I will be able to attend the Midwest Haunter's Convention pre-tour! It was really one of my favorite things all of last year. The haunts were really great. And, hanging with my fellow haunters for two solid days on a bus (with plenty of beer) was huge fun.

I'm hoping for bus #3 again, so, look for me!

Life has totally been kicking my ass lately

Which has resulted in me traveling no where since January. Oh, the horror. I've had to make a hasty move to new digs, which means redecorating. I'm thinking this is a great opportunity to display some of the pictures of taken during my haunt travels.

In the old place I had goth crosses in the bathroom. I've decided in the place I'll switch it up to pictures from cemeteries I've visited. Here's a few of the pictures I'm considering.

Transworld - St. Louis

Sadly, I can not make Transworld this year. However, the lovely and talented Patti has kindly agreed to take pictures and video for me and it'll be just like I was there.

So, stay tuned for all the latest and greatest in Halloween prop goodness.

2010 Haunting Travels Begin

So far this year, I've been to the East Coast. And, as usual, it was fabulous. Now, I start in earnest to book trips to all the Halloween events I want to go to. I've made a list on the side there (see, over there? no a little further to the right, now down just a bit and BINGO) of events I'm hoping to get to.

I've already booked tickets to HAuntCon (SWEET) and should have no problem going to the show in Chicago since, well, I live in Chicago. Still on the fence regarding St. Louis but will DEFINITELY be going to Midwest Haunter's Convention. And, of course, my life would be incomplete without the East Coast Haunt Club, so, Nashua is a must for me (as it should be for you).

If you know of any other events I should go to, or you think should be listed here, just drop me a line.

Now, ready the horses and prepare to ride!
