Looking forward to the show! There are some really cool haunts on the tours, I always enjoy seeing what's out there. Hundred Acre Manor is one of my favorites. Wish I could do the pre-bus tour to Factory of Terror (another one of my all time favorite haunts), but my vacation time is limited.

Can't wait to spend time with my haunter friends. At our show I'm constantly busy with little time for socialization, but at HC we get to relax and spend time talking with others in the industry and enjoy the parties. And this year; HC is within driving distance for us.

Stop by our booth and say "Hi", we'll have candy for the Trick or Treater's.
