I was looking forward to meeting you and was going to talk to you a couple of times at the bar but never got much of a chance. I believe Kori(Bills fiance) hung out with a couple of the graystone guys. Next year I will have to make time to have a conversation with you.

On bringing the crew, I know there are a lot of vendors that get upset that there are so many (non) buyers at the show. But I would say while the final decision is always up to the money guy that many times it is the enthusiasm and excitement for a certain prop, costume or mask that may push a buying decision. For most of the guys with the Gold they bring their crews to reward them as well as many of them have talents and skills that are necessary to the success of the haunt, so while they may not make the purchase and sign the checks, I know for Graystone Manor there were more than one meeting and discussion on purchases and needs to take us to the next level. It's about respect I only went to the booths and took brochures and catalogs for things I put input on, masks, makeup, lighting, prop controllers and air brush guns. I tried to respect the time and money that a catalog costs for the vendors but enjoyed seeing everything.
Oh and I had a blast meeting everyone I did, and the Thursday night flamingo crew was a blast, Me and Vinny from Graystone, Kori, Chris, Sarah, Guy with pink hair (sorry bro was real drunk by then but enjoyed having you at our table, oh Mr. Camera I don't think I ever saw you with out the camera lol. Take care look forward to next year.sigpicComment

Doc
HEY DOC
I don't think it is an issue with bringing the crews as much as TW inflating the # of actual buyers.
MHC is open to everyone.....and I mean everyone!!!
We have a great time....don't sell as much as at TW
But we have a great time
One thing I wish TW would have kept is a party on Saturday night.
MHC and Hauntcon both do a costume party......seems that everyone really enjoys those
Why didn't we have one at tw?
Oh wait I know.....nevermindGee could it get any better than this?Comment

Shane,
First of all, let me say that I am sorry if you had to wait in the cold to get into our haunt. However, let me clarify a few things. First, you are doing a haunt tour in March, in Missouri. The weather could be anything (including cold and windy as it turned out to be). I would think that everyone coming would have prepared for that possibility. We have never had any kind of covered or inside line space before, but we made the effort and expense to add the semi trailer just for this tour so there would be some covered line space out of the wind. Secondly, the film crew had very little to do with your wait. Also, he was a guest of the convention just as you were and he bought a ticket just as you did. More importantly, he only asked for a little space between he and the next group because he was using a light and didn't want to ruin the attraction for others. We only waited about 4 or 5 minutes after he entered to start the groups again. The rest of your wait was just normal waiting to get in. We made the decision to not push groups through as that would reduce the overall experience. Again, I am sorry that you had to wait in the cold, but to me, that is the price of doing a haunt tour in March. I do appreciate any criticism that you or any others may have as the main reason we did this tour was to get feedback and to get better.Comment

IDK, I am from Wisconsin. I was ready to go skinny dipping! LOL, actually, yeah it was cold, but we survived. The next night at the Darkness I wore my leather Jacket. I was AMAZED at the number of people I saw wearing just tee shirts. Damn!!
I guess next time you all are going to go to a haunt tour, contact ahead of time and ask if they have indoor waiting and dress that way. Or ask the guy shooting off the fire thing at FEARFEST to put that baby closer to the line! LOLwww.atheateroflostsouls.com Or if you need makeup or supplies www.abramagic.com
