Canadian Haunters Convention This Weekend

RELEASE CA HAUNTS CON:
Firstly, I have to tell you that I don’t think the Welcome Rally is to be missed! TJ Mannarino from Universal Studios Orlando will be speaking that evening, as will Leonard Pickel, and myself. This is a free event, everyone is invited! TJ will be touching on how they build their Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal as a preview of his seminar on Saturday. Leonard will be giving a “State of the Industry” address, and I will be talking about the future of the Canadian Industry. Each of these talks will be about a half hour long, so some real meat and potatoes there!

Immediately following the Welcome Rally, a bus will be leaving for the Haunt Tour out at Mr. Pumpkin. Brian over there at the venue says the more the merrier in terms of attendance, and therefore lots of spots available on the tour. Tickets are just $35 and that includes some light refreshments at the event.

For those of you staying behind, the Tradeshow Floor will be open on Friday night also, and the vendors will be happy to talk to you about their amazing products and services. The Black Widow Hearse Club will have at least 5 fully restored vintage funeral cars right on the Tradeshow Floor.

Saturday is an action packed day, with seminars all day for one low price. Some of the biggest names in the business are presenting over the weekend, including Leonard, TJ, me, Gordon Smith, and more. I also wanted to highlight the Haunted Hamilton talk on the truly haunted places of Niagara Region. This is a free talk, first-come first-served. Secondly, I bring your attention to a special guest appearance in Wayne Mallows, author of Whitechapel Road. Wayne will be available for book signings, autographs, and photo ops at various times on Saturday. His partner in crime, Stef Von Riot, promises to be in full vampire attire on Saturday.


Saturday evening we have the VIP Dinner. Here’s your chance to rub elbows and share a meal with the likes of Leonard, TJ, and author Wayne Mallows. And at just $21 per person, you couldn’t ask for a better deal. Again, there are still seats available, and you can make payment when you arrive to register at the convention centre.

Later that evening we are hoping to do some bowling! There is an alley right on site at the convention centre, and they have promised after 10:30 pm to offer a Rock-n-Bowl with blacklight, great tunes, cold drinks, and lots of socializing. I’m thinking you should come in costume and make an evening of it. Pricing will be announced soon, but will include 3 games of bowling and shoe rental.

Sunday, while a little more low-key, is not to be discounted. We still have some great workshops we are negotiating to book, and the Tradeshow will be open also. The highlight seminar in my opinion is Gordon Smith, a man who pioneered a technique in the FX industry that has literally become the standard in the film/TV industry. He will be giving an intensive clinic on his techniques and how you can use them to bring a greater professionalism to your own event.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, we have been fortunate to attract a LOT of media attention for this event. To name a few, the SPACE Channel will be covering the event; as will CHCH TV Hamilton, TV Cogeco Niagara, and the St. Catharines Standard.

All of the television outlets will be shooting footage on site, some on Friday in order to promote the event over the weekend.

So, I suppose I’ve gushed enough for one email. I hope that you feel I have worked hard enough to earn your support. I have done all of this for the benefit of the industry in Canada, and now I’m here, hat in hand, asking for your patronage of this monumental event. I know it’s not as big as some of the US events yet, but with your help and support it can get there.

I look forward to meeting you at the convention this weekend, and hearing your thoughts and ideas for Canadian Haunters Convention 2011.

THURSDAY NIGHT MEET AND GREET SPONSORED BY MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE

Join Host Marty Gear, a.k.a. “Uncle Vlad” of Castle Blood and Balticon fame, for a casual social to meet and socialize with convention guests, presenters, and talent. John Bundy and Morgan will be on hand to provide a taste of their magical talent that will run on the Fangoria Stage Friday through Sunday. The band who spawned a genre, Midnight Syndicate, will show the trailer to the upcoming film THE DEAD MATTER as well as their first and brand-new music video.

Throughout the evening, Marty will be giving away prizes from Midnight Syndicate and other sponsors for those who show that they can match or surpass his superior vampire bit…sorry, wit! We cannot say much more about this, except that one should be prepared to put their “best fang forward” and remember that even vampires like to laugh. **This event is included in general convention admission**

SATURDAY “AFTER PARTY” WITH THE YOUNG WEREWOLVES

Don’t go to bed or hide in a corner! Rock with The Young Werewolves from Saturday night through the wee hours of Sunday morning. If you haven’t heard The Young Werewolves play, then you haven’t heard why FANGORIA, Sid Haig, GOTHIC BEAUTY, ROCKABILLY MAGAZINE, and others have had such great things to say about Philly’s best offering to the Psychobilly Planet! See and hear for yourselves: they look as great as they sound! **This event is included in general convention admission**

HAUNTERS’ GOT TALENT COMPETITION

If you have five minutes of talent in you, then share it with us and compete for a coffin-load of prizes! At present, we have well over $1,500.00 in prizes to give away and the list is still growing. EVERY entrant will receive a prize, but if you advance to the final round, even the consolation prizes increase in value. Finalists will compete for larger prize packages that include NHC’s now-infamous “Convention Cash.” Convention Cash spends like real money at any dealer booth on the show floor and is also awarded in smaller amounts for various reasons over the weekend.

There is no additional entry fee for Haunters’ Got Talent. Rules are available online. Entrants must register in advance with Chris Handa, NHC Entertainment Director, to receive a spot in the competition. Maximum number of competitors: 12.

MAINSTAGE SHOWS

John Bundy and Morgan will appear all weekend with highlights from John’s long-running and highly successful “Wacky Dracky Spooktacular” show. John has years of performance as Wacky Dracky and other character appearing everywhere from trade shows to theme parks. Among magicians, John has received many accolades and been featured in many publications, including a prestigious MAGIC MAGAZINE Cover Story for October 2005. Morgan was recently awarded “2009 Escape Artist of the Year” and was featured on the World Magic Awards in January.

Tony Gangi, The Amazing Human Head will present his sideshow-themed performance on Friday and Saturday. Tony will also be available to sign copies of his newly-released CARNY SIDESHOWS: WEIRD WONDERS OF THE MIDWAY and discuss his current and upcoming projects.

The Creatures East will return to the Fangoria Stage with spooky storytelling, as well as be around all weekend on the show floor, as seminar presenters, and a part of the Children’s Programming Track.

Fangoria.com has been a great partner and few people know more of the details of the Horror Biz than the people of FANGORIA. Join them as they take the stage to ask you questions about classic and contemporary horror films, and have the chance at winning one of the many items in their unique stash of haunt and horror themed prizes!

The Curator of the Medieval Weapons of War Show and Professor Ouch will step away from their respective exhibits to entertain and educate us on the Fangoria Stage.

Chris Handa of spookymagic.com will remove and demonstrate items from Professor Scrye’s Closet of Curiosities. As an entertainer and magic director, Chris has honed his craft and collected some very unique items. He will share some of those with you from the Fangoria Stage if you are brave enough to assist him with some experiments!

Finally, veteran masquerade director Dawn McKechnie, known to many as “Kaijugal” and “Autumn” from various conventions and gatherings, will host the SCREAMS AND DREAMS FASHION SHOW. Think of it as a “Best in Show” exhibition of the premiere costumes, props, and products in haunting and horror. This is your chance to our vendors and crastspeople put their best foot forward and onstage with a display of the things that everybody wants for their own show or display. **All of the above is included with general admission**

FEATURED EXHIBITS

We’re bringing the Midway and the Ren Faire to you! For a very small admission cost, you can visit the most unique collections of items assembled in one convention. Visit Professor Ouch’s Odditorium and Great American Midway, Doctor Slickshill’s Sideshow Museum of Monsterous Oddities, and Rich Hanf’s Medieval Weapons of War Show during Show Floor Hours Friday through Sunday. Each Showman has his own collection of unique items and experiences to share. We are very fortunate to have all of these “Curators of the Creepy” with us for our entertainment and education.
