Midwest Haunters Convention – June 3rd – 5th 2011

A haunting in Columbus

It’s a cloudless, radiant day in the heart of downtown. Dark, ghostly figures begin to congregate along the sidewalks as a zombie; his flesh rotted and peeling from the bone, makes his way to the door. Seemingly oblivious to the blood dripping from his gaping wounds, a smiling group of abominations shake hands and proceed inside.

Welcome to the Midwest Haunters Convention. Here, the country’s most macabre gather to celebrate and learn the art of spook. It’s a quirky brew of the most bizarre, intriguing and downright bone-chilling features of the Halloween season. While the convention specializes in informational workshops for those in the haunted attraction industry nationwide, their audience ranges from trained acting/makeup professionals to curious haunt enthusiasts and fans. It will take place June 3-5 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center downtown.

I want to to thank everyone involved who helped make this site possible!!

This site has so much potential, and we are just starting to work with it. We are very proud to be partnering up with them for this and many more seasons to come. Doug and Chuck over at Brainstorm for our Graveyard logo, which has endured over the years, very very classy and has solid impact! They have always supported me with my Joey Black Leukemia Event throughout, and the logo rocks! Chad over at Sinister Visions, I loved those sound files the minute I heard them, he delivered and they added the extra creep layer I wanted for the Ghoul on the site. I am glad I was able to help you get your server performing better for you on your project site. The ENTIRE team here at Graveyard, all the hard work, long hours and support is just amazing!! Let the good times roll…. here we GO!!
