Texas Haunters Convention

SO we went to Texas Haunters Convention as press. The response time when we messaged them about collabing together was quite fast. They were quite accommodating and we had no issues with communication. So that was a brownie point to start out with. We had never been to the convention before so it was definitely something we were looking forward to and I must say...it was pretty worth it. Unlike most other horror conventions I have gone to this was quite unique and made for Haunters. First of all a haunter is a group of people who build haunted houses and or haunted attraction, or collectors of haunted house memorabilia,  or has a passion / love for dressing up and scary the pants off of people. THIS PLACE , if you are any or all of them, is the place for you. 

  The parking was a bit of a mess ( which they have been apologizing and we much appreciate  them caring ) a tad confusing because of the rodeo going on in the same parking lot. However we digress, going inside it was spooky and welcoming. Props, animatronics, blown up spooky inflatables, and haunted house decorations everywhere. 

They did have signs for everything that was going on and lots of signs for their sponsors and content. On one side of the convention there were quite a few food vendors/trucks outside. They were super expensive though. I did love the tea and soda stand Pecos Pete's. So there were food and drinks there but not as pocket friendly as I would have liked but that's just my opinion. 

Once you go up to the kiosks you print out your badge bracelet thing. It was a smooth process and kinda convenient. You walk into the middle room. There are 3 rooms in the convention and they are full of haunters ultimate props and sfx. Haunters, spooky stuff, horror everything was out and about. Anyways,the middle room is basically their artist Ally, so many amazing vendors. We talked to as many as we could and interviewed a few as well. We bought some stuff....alot of stuff lol.

Then to your left is the main stage where panels and scareoke were being held. Not to mention cosplay contests. Also in that room was a cool photographer/sfx editor and a no touch gaming area. That was cool and not to mention phone charging stations!!

Then go back through the middle room to the room on the right where all the haunted houses, vendors, animatronics, goodies for sale were. They had people dressed up in character from different haunted houses and places going around scaring people and taking you to their booths. It was such a fun experience. HQ ( me who is typing)  almost even got into an electric chair and got " electrocuted " lol. Everyone, all the vendors, actors, and enthusiasts were all having a good time and enjoying each other's like minded spirits and minds. 

They even had a painting/art live in the back of the middle room. It was quite bigger than prior years and they made good use of the space. The staff were all kind and informative except one security guard..he wasn't mean but he was super cocky/abrasive slightly but not enough to say he was rude.

To rate it would be hard because it's unique. So I will just say this...it has the pandamonium seal of approval on it lmao. Seriously you should check this convention out if you are Into that stuff!!
