    We are returning to the Columbus Convention Center, but we’ll be in Hall C, at the bottom of the escalator, just a short walk from the Hyatt. This 100,000 sq ft show floor offers us the opportunity to continue to grow our exhibitor trade show.

    Ms Scary Midwest Pageant
    Our popular event gets a registration update

    The Ms Scary Midwest pageant annually looks for the scariest female haunt
    character in the Midwest. It took a few years, but this event has finally
    achieved the level of interest that we anticipated when we first introduced
    it. With this popularity we have decided to bring back the original
    registration process in order to ensure we have the best candidates in the
    pageant. The 2009 registration process is as follows:

    The Midwest Haunters Convention will be accepting applications to compete
    on Saturday, June 6, 2009 during the Ms Midwest Scary Pageant. We’re
    looking for the Scariest Woman in the Midwest.

    Application can be submitted via mail or e-mail. We will accept entries January 1 through April 1, 2009. A panel of judges will select 8 contestants from all entries to compete on stage. We will announce the 8 finalists on April 20. Contestants will have until May 1st to pay their $25 entry fee.

    Preliminary judging will be based on your character photo and bio.
    Optional video can be mailed or downloaded to youtube.com.

    we blow through that number. Last year we were fortunate enough to have
    the ability to increase our block to accommodate everyone. We are not sure
    that we will have that luxury again this year so we encourage you to
    reserve your room now. To book online please
