Transworld Haunt & Attractions Show Moves to St.Louis!

2008-07-05T16:21:00.000-07:00

For Immediate Release - July 1, 2008

TransWorld Exhibits, Inc. Moves 14th National Haunt & Attractions Show
to the America’s Center in St. Louis
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Venue Selected in Response to Growth of Haunt Industry

(Northfield, IL) – In an exciting move, TransWorld Exhibits, Inc. announced its decision to move the 14th National Haunt & Attractions Show (HauntShow) to St. Louis, Missouri, at the America’s Center, March 27 – 29, 2009.

Previously held in conjunction with TransWorld’s International Halloween, Costume & Party Show (HCPShow), the HauntShow will stand on its own in St. Louis, Missouri, giving the buyers and vendors of the Haunt community convenient access to the industry’s #1 trade show in a business environment created just for them.

“After extensive market research and input from vendors and buyers alike, we decided to spin-off the 14th National Haunt & Attractions Show and have it stand alone in a Midwest location that is central to the greatest number of participants in this industry,” said Joe Thaler, chairman and chief executive officer of TransWorld Exhibits, Inc., owner of the show. “The Haunt industry continues to grow with advances in special effects, animatronics, sound & lighting, and props. More and more, these products are used in venues on a year-round basis whether it is in a theme park, theatrical production or a haunted house. This growth within the industry demands a stand-alone trade show dedicated solely to the Haunt industry,” Thaler continued. “St. Louis is the perfect gateway to a marketplace where the Haunt community can come together.”

The complete schedule of activities for the 14th National Haunt & Attractions Show in St. Louis will be announced in the coming weeks. Highlights of the show will include:

• New product introductions from the industry’s leading companies
• Extensive seminar programming
• Networking events and competitions
• Special events and tours, and much more

The TransWorld International Halloween, Costume & Party Show will continue to host a Haunt Pavilion as Haunt products are also fundamental to the celebration of the Halloween season and the buyer of Halloween and
seasonal merchandise. The HCPShow will take place March 6 – 9, 2009 at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas.

Special exhibit packages are available for exhibitors that wish to participate in both the St. Louis and Las Vegas events.

For more than 60 years, TransWorld Exhibits has been a leading producer of independent trade shows. The business, which had its roots in the housewares and consumer electronics industry, has over the years expanded its offerings to include general merchandise, Halloween merchandise, giftware, seasonal items, luxury merchandise, jewelry, fashion and accessories. The firm runs trade shows in Chicago, Las Vegas, and St. Louis.

For more information on attending or exhibiting, please call 800-323-5462 or 847-446-8434 for international calls. Information is also available at www.hauntshow.com and www.hcpshow.com.

NANCY ALLEN BATTLES BREAST CANCER

Nancy Allen or “Elmyra the Hearse Chick” is known for her outlandish impersonations of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Also a past Haunt owner/operator, Nancy ran Sturdy Pumpkins Haunted Acres in Michigan. The Haunt was a daytime pumpkin patch and Haunted Attraction. Nancy has been a loyal friend to the Haunted Attraction industry for years and is an avid hearse enthusiast.

Nancy now faces the Scariest fight of her life. In August, Nancy went to the hospital to have a lump in her breast evaluated. She was told “nothing to worry about it is just a fibroid cyst”. On Christmas, she was re-evaluated and Diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

On January 25th, 2008, Nancy had her right breast removed. Nancy did well in surgery, but the wait for the lab results was excruciating. Her fears were confirmed when she received the lab reports back. The tumor was golf ball size and in 28 lymph nodes, putting her in a Stage 3 cancer. (There are four stages of cancer)

Stage 3 breast cancer is divided into 3 groups:

Stage 3A means
Although no tumor is seen in the breast, the lymph nodes under the arm contain cancer cells and are stuck together, but there is no sign of cancer spread or
The tumor is 5 cm or less, the lymph nodes in the armpit contain cancer cells and are stuck to each other, but the cancer has not spread elsewhere or
The tumor is more than 5 cm, the lymph nodes in the armpit contain cancer cells and may be stuck together, but there is no further spread

Stage 3B means
The tumor is fixed to the skin or chest wall, the lymph nodes may or may not contain cancer cells, but there is no further spread

Stage 3C means
The tumor can be any size and has spread to lymph nodes in the armpit and under the breast bone, or to nodes above or below the collarbone, but there is no further spread

Nancy was adopted, and found out from her birth mother that Breast cancer runs in their family. With a fear cancer would develop in her left breast, Nancy asked the surgeon to do a double mastectomy. He refused.

Chemo has started, and Nancy lost chunks of hair after her first treatment. This would be devastating to any woman. Through her tears, she decided to not let the cancer take over her life and shaved her head. She now enjoys purple wigs.

Nancy had a shunt put it to help make giving the chemo easier, but it has been a painful process. Her bone depression also set in, which means every bone in her body is in horrible pain. This will eventually disappear.

After her Chemo treatments, Nancy will have to move on to 36 weeks of Radiation. When the radiation treatments are done, Nancy will be able to find a plastic surgeon to rebuild her right breast.

Nancy now lives in Fairmount, Indiana (birthplace of James Dean). She has no insurance and is unemployed. The money she brings in is through EBay auctions, which she runs. Although the Cancer Society has taken care of a lot of the bills, there is a lot they cannot pay for.

Nancy’s bills for over the counter medications, travel to and from the doctor’s daily visits, wigs and daily living are over the top. Nancy also will have to pay the plastic surgeon to rebuild her right breast and fix the left one to “Match”. Right now, she longs for a silicone breast she could wear, and still enjoy playing her role of “Elmyra the Hearse Chick”. They are, unfortunately too expensive. Nancy is also in need of a newer Hearse, as she literally has duct tape holding her current one together. (It is her daily driver).

The Haunted Attraction industry is not really an industry, but more of a family. Right now, one of our family members is in need of our help. Team Halloween, Midwest Haunters Convention, Scream Queen Marketing, and Apollyon Creations has offered to step in and help raise money for Nancy.

Once Upon A Nightmare... Nox Arcana meet the Brothers Grimm

2008-05-08T21:28:00.001-07:00

Once Upon A Nightmare... Nox Arcana meet the Brothers Grimm

Enter the Darkly Everafter, where goblins, elves and sylvan spirits dwell in an eternally enchanted forest. With Grimm Tales, their ninth release in just four years, Nox Arcana conjure a bewitching soundscape of menacing melodies and creepy narratives that evoke visions of dark fairies, wicked witches, and creatures that lurk in the deepest shadows of our childhood nightmares.

Like several of their other albums, this music is also inspired by classic literature, in this case it is the fearsome folktales of the Brothers Grimm. However, given that Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected over 100 stories in their lifetime, Nox Arcana decided to focus on creating an overall atmosphere with their music, that of a dark enchantment rather than focus on any singular story. In fact, Joseph Vargo wrote his own original tale just for this cd. Expressed in poetic verse, it tells of a wicked Witch Queen who has cast a spell upon the land of Faerie, condeming its inhabitants to neverending darkness, and two children who fall asleep one night to awaken in the dark realm. The wayward children set out upon a quest to find a magical Crystal Key which is rumored to open a gateway between the Realm of Fable and their home.

All new shipments of past and present Nox Arcana CDs now contain a hidden riddle! Look for the new cds available exclusively at Spirit Halloween stores during this year's haunted season.

Mr. Larry Kirchner will purchase 2 tables per year from the Eastern Haunters Convention, 1 for HauntWorld the Magazine, and the other for the Haunted House Association and Mr. Larry Kirchner will have key priority placement in those rooms for those tables.

If you are interested in purchasing this attraction, please email us at info@eurekascreams.com with “ATTRACTION FOR SALE” in the subject line and let us know what reasonable offer you would make. We haven’t really had time to calculate and come up with a ball-park selling price, but all reasonable offers will be considered. Serious inquiries only please.

Anyone purchasing the attraction will also receive assistance from Lee and me with removing the attraction items from storage and loading them into your truck/s. We will also provide a blueprint which contains the layout and numbering system for construction of the attraction. We have all the wall panels numbered on the sides of the walls. The numbers correspond to the blueprint. We will also be happy to provide phone assistance in answering any questions you may have while setting up the attraction. If you purchase our attraction and you wish to retain our services to assist with the haunt construction, we will be happy to discuss this with you, however, please be aware that we will have limited availability and you will be responsible for our travel related expenses.

As an additional FYI, when we moved the attraction from our old location and into storage, it took us 5 trips in a 26’ truck and 1 additional trip in a 17’ truck, and we pack really well! There is a HUGE amount of stuff included in this attraction!!!

Please feel free to share this correspondence and post where you see fit.

On a more personal note, this does not mean the end of Raycliff Manor! We will not be selling the website or the Raycliff Manor name. We do plan to re-invent and resurrect the Raycliff Manor attraction in the future. As of right now though, it looks like we’ll be taking a year off. There are pressing family matters that I need to devote my attention to and I’m also being led to focus my attention on another book that I’ve been in the process of writing. It’s actually not haunt related but a spiritual (not religious) book that’s been like fire shut up in my bones and needing to manifest. Thanks again!

HAuNTcon 08 Update!
The 5th Annual Haunted Attraction National Tradeshow and Convention moves to Houston, Texas in 2008. Find out the latest details on the convention “Designed for Haunters, by Haunters!”

HAuNTcon 08 Update!

The 5th Annual Haunted Attraction National Tradeshow and Convention, (better known as HAuNTcon) moves this year to the Houston Crown Plaza Hotel, April 24-28, 2008, with a pre-show Haunt Tour “road trip” April 22- 24. Designed by Haunters, for Haunters, HAuNTcon is a convention and expo that packs every waking moment (maximum 24 hours per day) with everything a Haunter could possibly want or need to make the next Halloween season the best it can be!

Open to all Haunters at every age and level of experience. The 2008 extravaganza will be sponsored by FREEK Energy Drink, Wristband Resource and Haunted Attraction Magazine. HAuNTcon brings together people who love Haunted Houses and Halloween for a fun filled four days and nights of Haunter Education, Tours of Local Haunted Houses, jam packed Tradeshow Floor, Hearse Rally, Haunted Garage Sale and an incredible Costume Ball!

“Haunters are the best people on earth,” explains Leonard Pickel, editor of Haunted Attraction Magazine, who created HAuNTcon to be an opportunity for Haunters to network, share tips and stories, get fresh ideas, learn new ways to do what they do and check out the latest in Haunting props. “I have often said that Haunters are all siblings separated at birth, and HAuNTcon is just our massive family reunion!”

Haunt Tours
HAuNTcon 2008 opens one day earlier than in previous years, with a two night pre show trip to tour Haunted Attractions in Louisiana. The first stop is The 13th Gate Haunted House on Tuesday April 22 in Baton Rouge. Owned and operated by Dwayne Sanburn, The 13th Gate is one of the most detailed Haunts you will ever see. “I have been to some of the best detailed Haunts in the country,” explains Leonard. “Rocky Point, Netherworld, Verdun Manor, but The 13th Gate is an over the top experience.” The queue line space is themed as a barrel-vaulted underground maintenance area. There is even an old work bench with antique tools, placed as if someone had just set them down. “The attraction has Disney level detail and set design,” describes Leonard. “With a built-in effect designed to scare the 100 unsuspecting souls waiting in line for the Haunt to start!” Bring your cameras, for the Lights-on tour that will take place on Wednesday morning.

Next on the tour is a trip to Myrtles Plantation, know as one of the most Haunted places in the US. If you have ever thought of using a plantation theme for your Haunt, this is a great way to see the real thing, up close. Visitors will tour the plantation and house. We will attempt to conjure up real spirits before heading to New Orleans, one of the most Haunted cities in the United States.

Now in its third year of operation, Chamber of Horrors is the next Haunt on the tour. Creative scares and great detail will be the highlight of this backstage tour. Our hosts, Gaston Dupuy and Eddie Dupuy will be on hand to answer questions and show attends around the attraction.

The most radical Haunt on the pre-show tour will be The House of Shock. Closed after hurricane Katrina, this in your face experience has been rebuilt in a new location that allowed a total redesign for the infamous attraction. “When I began Haunting, I turned away from all things Satanic.” recalls Leonard. “Still I was accused of ‘doing the devil’s work,’ just because I owned a Haunted House.” The House Of Shock, takes an opposite approach and embraces the “dark side” of Haunting. “I think Ross Karpleman and Steve Joseph, took this public attitude as a challenge, and themed their Haunt as a fight between good and evil, where good wasn’t always so good and evil always won!” “One great thing about the new House of Shock is that the theme of the attraction is New Orleans,” relates Leonard. “The Haunt starts out in an above ground cemetery, winds through the French Quarter, and even visits the sewers of this home of Voodoo.” The pre-show stage show, which stars Ross, is a pyrotechnic extravaganza... Bring your sun screen!

After what will most likely be a late night on Bourbon Street, the next morning’s adventure will be optional, but worth getting up for. Within walking distance from the hotel are Haunted sites and cemeteries, one of which has the remains of the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau!

The last Haunt included in the pre-show tour will be The Mortuary. As seen in the Discovery channel special, this year-round Paranormal Research Center, built in a haunted funeral parlor, in the middle of a cemetery, has a Haunted Attraction in the basement. Our host Jeff Borne will be on hand for the tour and let us in on the exciting plans he has for this unbelievable building!

But we are not done Haunting yet! Once back in Houston, attendees can choose to attend the Thursday night Haunt tour of Nightmare on the Bayou. Our host, Bob Wright, will be cooking up a Texas style “Choke and Puke,” for attendees. This dinner and social will include a lights off tour of this large Haunted Attraction in North Houston filled with great actors, great scares and 3D section.

After a full day of HAuNTcon Education and Tradeshow, The Friday Night Haunt Tour will be of Phobia 290. (See Cover Story, this issue!) Three of the five attractions at this multi-element, hard core, animated haunt will feature full actor tours and one additional Haunt will be available for lights on tours and photos.

For those staying over for the new Monday workshops, HAuNTcon will be offering a Bonus Sunday Night Tour and social at the National Museum of Funeral History. This is a great opportunity to discuss the convention, unwind with Haunter friends over a bite to eat and check out the antique hearses, antique coffins and antique embalming equipment in this beautiful museum. Exhibits include a 1900’s casket factory, Civil War embalming and a replica of President Lincoln’s funeral train.

Convention and Exposition
The HAuNTcon Education starts early on Friday April 25 at the Houston Crown Plaza Hotel. The Haunt Ed sessions are divided into four threads; Haunting Business, Creative, Demonstration, and Make-N-Take! Last year was the first time Make-N-Take workshops were offered at HAuNTcon and they were a huge success, selling out early. This year there will be more sessions and the ability to sign up on the web site so we can repeat the popular sessions.

For the first time, HAuNTcon is expanding its already vast Haunter Education with full day paid workshops on Monday April 28. Several companies are offering all day, in-depth hands on sessions including, Bad Boys Scenic Design, Wolf Brothers FX and Face Paint, Smooth-on mold making and Leonard Pickel’s D.O.A. Haunt Design Firm. Sign up for these workshops and the Make-N-Takes at www.hauntcon.com now, because they will sell out!

HAuNTcon attendees will be treated to a huge Tradeshow floor, Friday April 25 through Sunday April 27, filled with exhibitors selling the latest in fright services and equipment for the professional Haunted House owner and the Halloween enthusiast alike. Everything a Haunter needs from horror makeup and highly detailed masks to static props and large animatronic creatures will be for sale, many at wholesale prices.

The Spirit of Halloween
Saturday night April 26, is the massive Costume Ball sponsored by Haunted Attraction Magazine. Show off your most creative costume at this rocking party and celebrate the joy of getting into character for fun rather than work. The ticket price includes music, dancing and cash bar.

Special events on Sunday April 27 include the Hearse and Parade Car Show as the hotel parking lot fills with the largest collection of creepy tricked out vehicles and funeral cars ever exhibited in Texas. Also on Sunday is the exit polling favorite Haunted Garage Sale. At this spooky flea market and swap meet attendees can get into the HAuNTcon selling frenzy by buying a table and bringing their own scary stuff - home made, used or new - to sell to other attendees.

Join Haunters from across the country and around the world at the 5th Annual Haunted Attraction National Tradeshow and Convention in Houston, Texas, and bring your key Haunting crew. With everything you need to make your next Halloween season the best it can be! Designed by Haunters, for Haunters, HAuNTcon is four days and four nights of Haunter Education, Tours of Local Haunted Houses, jam packed Tradeshow Floor, Hearse Show, Haunted Garage Sale and an incredible Costume Ball! It is the best money you can spend on your Haunted Event.

As the silence of night gives way to otherworldly sounds and morning light finds Charles Maynard’s

wheat field sporting what the local news team refers to as "crop circles" life for the small town Midwestern

farmer is soon becoming far from normal. Stranger than the markings left in his fields is that fact that Charles cannot account for 5 days he seems to have missed!

A growth of beard on his normally clean-shaven face and the incredible flashbacks of a dream he had has Charles’

mind spinning. Is it possible that he has experienced a visitation from something not of this earth, from a sojourner

to this distant planet? Did Charles Maynard receive a visit from Mr. Gray?

The Talisman(Coming 2008)

Dr. Avery Sinister is surrounded by death. As the town’s only mortician he sees

too many friends and neighbors saying goodbye to loved ones at his funeral home.

When he discovers his dearly departed father’s journals he finds what could be the

answer to the desire of his heart! Avery longs to cheat death, no, to beat death!

Submit Your Haunt Video For Hauntworld Movie 18

2007-12-05T13:25:00.000-08:00

Larry Kirchner of Hauntworld.com is looking for haunts to provide videos for Hauntworld Movie Part 18. Please read te post below for further information.

Are you interested in being featured on Hauntworld Movie Part 18? It helps to see these top attractions on the videos, and helps us build awareness for some of the best attractions. If you want your haunted house featured on this next DVD please let us know. Just send an edited version of your haunt 12 minutes or less, with audio that you can use not music that is licensed to: Larry Kirchner, 501 Rolling Hills Drive, St. Charles, Mo. 63304.

We plan on working on the next DVD very soon. If you have a cool haunt send me the footage and we'll try to add it. To see these haunts has a lot to do with how we rank our top 13 haunts every year. I can't go to all these haunts but it really helps seeing these DVD's. Most of the haunts we've added to our top 13 are haunts who sent me footage.

These DVD's also helps the industry learn from each other. I hope you send in your footage. We look forward to featuring your haunted house on a Hauntworld DVD coming soon!

Last but not least we're going to be creating a best haunts HW video, that we plan to sell nationwide through a major Halloween Retailer. So if you can edit a really nice segment you might end up on that DVD as well.

A lot of these tv shows that have been made over the past year have called me for these DVD's to pick haunts to feature. I've sent out so many FREE Hauntworld DVD's to help haunts get some press its not even funny. I get called for the videos every single year.

This year alone I sent out HW movies to Travel Channel, TLC, National Geographic Channel and some national news shows.

Take care.
Larry
