Okay, so here's the promised information about the ONLY chance you'll have to visit Denver-area haunted houses until October.
It's THIS WEEKEND, and it's part of a haunted attraction trade show and convention called HAuNTcon.
Do you love haunted houses? Maybe you've thought about working at one or building one (professional or at home), or maybe you've been involved with a haunted attraction in the past and plan to do it again this year. If so, this weekend is for you.
Here are some of the events that will be part of this weekend:
Exhibit Hall - This is where prop builders and other vendors who serve the haunted attraction industry will have their items on display for everyone to see. The exhibit hall will be open Fri, Sat, and Sun (May 19-21)
Haunted Ed - Learn everything you wanted to know about the haunted attraction industry in these seminars and workshops. You can learn the business of haunting, take classes for haunted house actors, learn marketing techniques, get ideas for prop-building and construction, and more! These classes and workshops will be offered on Fri, Sat, and Sun (May 19-21)
Haunt Tours - Go through a haunted house, and then get an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour! The tours include transportation and a meal. Thursday night, May 18, will be the Kickoff Tour & Social at the Reinke Bros. Haunted Mansion. Friday night, May 19, will be the Tour & Social at Little Spider's Scream Park, rated 10 stars in 2006 by HauntedDenver.com.
Costume Ball - Come in costume for a night of music, dancing, prizes and more at the Haunted Attraction Magazine's costume ball! Light hors d'ouvres and two drinks included. The costume ball will be on the evening of Saturday, May 20th.
Hearse Rally - It's a car show ... for funeral cars! Sponsored by the Denver Hearse Association, this event will be on Sunday, May 21, from 11am-3:30pm.
Haunted Garage Sale - Find souvenirs or random items for your haunt, home haunt, or personal collection of oddities. The garage sale will be on the afternoon of Sunday, May 21, from 4-6pm.
Here's the biggest reason you don't want to miss out on this event: It's right here in Denver. Every year, HAuNTcon is in a different state. This might be your only chance to experience this amazing event without having to travel out-of-state. The festivities take place at the Marriott Tech Center.
So, you ask, how does pricing work for all of this? You can buy tickets to individual events during the weekend, or you can buy a combo ticket that will save you money.
