          Who had the best in the following:

          Booth design: GORE GALORE of course

          Overall lineup of products: GORE GALORE

          Best new product: BOOMSTICK from Digital Light and Sound

          Best new animation: SPIDERS from Dark Raven

          Best costumes/masks: GIANT CLOWN COSTUME from Fearscape Studios

          Best new high tech product: SHOTGUN ZOMBIE PICTURE from Pale Night Prod.

          Best Monster Props: GORE GALORE

          Best new product overall: GEP spinning tunnel that was the ROOM rotating back-n-forth

          Best Seminar: Didn't do any, saving that for MHC

          Best Detail Product: PERMABLOOD/PERMAGRIME from Pale Night Productions

          Best New Company: CREATURE CORPS

          Best place to eat in St. Louis: WHITE CASTLE of course!!! Or the $35 all you can eat Alaskan King Crab leg buffet at the casino.

          Best Overall Experience of the Show: I will have to agree with Tyler, this show was a let down over last years show. While a few companies stepped it up and brought new kick ass products, there were many companies that scaled way back, brought the same 'ol stuff, or didn't even show at all. I'm actually looking forward to MHC to see some of the smaller vendors that have cool stuff but weren't at TW. As long as TW stays in St Louis and the vendor list remains the same, I think I'm done with TW for a while. I can see most of the stuff at MHC. Kudos to Larry for making changes to the way he ran his show, it was very organized this year. Also, thanks to the Columbia crews for putting on a good show.

                Heres my list:

                Booth Design: Halloween Productions

                Overall lineup of products: Gore Galore

                Best new animation: Scarefactory Hearse - absolutely phenominal animation for advertising.

                Best Costumes/ Masks: Cfx or Gore Galore

                Best new high tech product: Halloween Lasers (since I already rated that one, I'll also throw out an honorable mention to EtherealFX with their plug and play DMX lighting system that should save hours of setup.)

                Best Monster props: Skeleton/graveyard line of props by Scarefactory. I really liked the themed release of props.

                Best new product overall: Scarefactory Hease and reaper / Chair costume that was so simple yet so kickass!

                Best Seminar: Taken as a whole, the speed seminars were a fantastic value, and several of the individuals from that group including the stilt-acting (Allen), the props for actors (Ben), and Crisis Plans (Amber) stould out even compared to the longer seminars for entertainment and amount of information gained. Considering that it cost $5 per 30 minute seminar (as opposed to $40 per 90 minute seminar for others) everyone should have been there.

                Best Detail product: Permagrime from Pale Night Productions

                Best New Company: Darklight Mini Led spotlights

                Best place to eat St. Louis: The Dubliner - Irish and Free. What else could you ask for (besides more table space)

                Best overall experience of the show: Insane Shane Kickoff Party

                There are three rules to designing a haunt. Unfortunately, nobody knows what they are.

                  Well, I'm biased on some things......but here are my thoughts on the ones that my business doesn't qualify for.

                  Best costumes/masks - CFX

                  Best Monster Props - Dark Raven's Spiders

                  Best New Company - Creature Corps

                  Best place to eat in St. Louis - Lemp Mansion

                  Best Overall Experience of the Show - The END!!! No seriously...for me personally...I think it was the Sunday morning worship service we held. It was small, as we expected, but it was well received and it was nice to gather with other Christian haunters at the convention. We'll do it again next year, market it better, and clean up some rough spots...but I was really happy with how it turned out this year.

                              Kip,

                              I love the END comment ... good one.

                              Keep them coming guys because we are taking votes here and will issues a best of Transworld in the next magazine. Its up to YOU!

                              I would cast my vote but I dont' want to influence anyone.

                              I will say the best experience for me though was just as Kip pointed out THE END... there was a lot of stress for me. I wish I could have seen more of the show and participated in more of the stuff that was going on.

                              I haven't attended a seminar in like 10 years or more... its just busy busy.

                              I envy most everyone who just came and had a great time.
