On the evening of April 29th I had the honor of being one of the representatives of the Universal Entertainment Art & Design team, appearing for a meet and greet session with members of HauntCon.
Our team members represented different design disciplines required to produce Halloween Horror Nights. Scenic Design, Set Decor, Construction, Makeup and Prosthetics, Costuming, Writing and Web Design (me). After introductions and a brief Q&A session in the Pantages Theater, on the Horror Makeup Show stage, we moved into the lobby where guests could view props, blueprints and concept art as well as get a chance for informal chatting with all of us.
The HauntCon folks were VERY nice! Their questions and insights went beyond being fans. They are peers!
On Sunday I went to the HauntCon convention floor at the Ramada in Celebration, FL.
There were lots of great vendors selling lots of fun stuff for Haunters!
Below, I met Dustin during a lunch break who was mid-way through his makeup and prosthetics demo.
Many thanks to HauntCon guru, Leonard Pickel, for his hospitality!
"HAuNTcon is an acronym for the Haunted Attraction National Tradeshow and Conference. A expo and convention "Designed by Haunters, for Haunters" of every age and level of experience.
