Time Running Out to Get Your Space for the Halloween Costume and Party Show

Even though the Haunt Season is just now approaching and finally here, we are already thinking of you vendors and the upcoming Transworld Halloween and Attractions Show coming to America’s Center in St. Louis once again during March 10-13, 2011.

This annual trek is a must show at for any haunt vendor wanting to make a splash and get those early sales for the 2011 Haunt Season. Once again Rotting Flesh Radio will be vending there and will have something very special to debut. But time is running out to secure your space and a good discount on it if you wish to vend in the upcoming show.

We look forward to seeing all of our friends and haunt family there so on with the details for those wanting to vend.

Want to Stay in a Haunted Mansion Room? Disney May Have it Happen!

So for many years growing up many of us who have a love of Disney’s Haunted Mansion always dreamed of staying overnight in the Mansion itself. This of course was never going to happen, but it did fuel our love of Halloween, Spookiness and Haunted Houses.

So it seems recently according to WDW Magic, Disney has been dishing out surveys to see what kind of rooms guests would like to see next in the Moderate Level Resorts. This is much like the Pirates of the Caribbean rooms that were added in recent years.

According to many of the forum and thread users at WDW Magic, Disney has been using these surveys along with concept art and asking their opinions. Now this would go beyond just a Haunted Mansion Room. There was also talk of a Princess Room, and a Royal Room etc. Here is the description for the Haunted Mansion Room:

“Come spend the night with a few of the happy haunts who play in an enchanted bedroom inspired by the Haunted Mansion. Rest atop the floating Doom Buggy beds with a couple of friendly spooks and watch glow-in-the-dark, cartoon-like footsteps mysteriously appear as the evening sets in. A sliding bookcase creates a hidden passage to the bathroom and is the perfect hiding place for a hitch-hiking ghost. Oversized furnishings with curvy lines and bright colors add to the whimsy in the room. Guests will delight in finding the hidden special effects that play up the merry, rather than scary, room ambiance.”

I know I for one would LOVE to see a Haunted Mansion room surface at the Disney Resorts. Sound off, what would you think?

In expressing why they chose Lights Alive products, Kathryn Ames, President of Sinister Controls LLC remarked, “With all the competition in this market one supplier stood out from the rest, Lights Alive. Lights Alive has listened to the end users and instead of parroting what was already on the market, introduced both new innovative designs as well as making major improvements on existing technology. Not content to rest on their laurels, they continue to innovate and expand their product offering”.

Sinister Controls engineer Scott Ames said “I take great pride in the quality and workmanship of the custom products we design and build ourselves. When selecting a supplier to partner with, I would not want to present a line of products to my customers that were not to our standards. With Lights Alive I have no concerns for quality, reliability, functionality, or ease of use. The Lights Alive product line has far exceeded my expectations and has now raised the bar for our own custom product line. I am truly excited about the opportunity to represent this product line”.

Dark Tech Effects can also help bring your Haunt to the Next Level.

This past 2009 Halloween Season they developed an interactive haunt parlor called Morbid Curiosity for Spookywoods. “I’m always looking for ways to keep my haunt fresh in the customers’ eye, which is one of the hardest things to do since we started in 1985. When I was contacted by Bill Rodriguez offering show control programming we decided to build a side attraction called Morbid Curiosity. This side attraction is a 15 minute Séance. My customers are lining up for over an hour to get a chance to see this one of a kind experience. Bill was so meticulous in coming up with every little detail and made our new side attraction a huge success from the first show. His expertise in this area was amazing to see and a very easy process for us to let him go wild with the technology. If you’re looking to set your haunt apart from the competition, look no further than Bill Rodriguez to take you there.” said Tony Wohlgemuth, President of Spookywoods Haunted Attraction.

One of the best parts aboutthe All-New Dark Tech Effects is they will not hesitate to travel for Custom Installations! No project is too big or too small and dates have already been booked for the 2010 season.
