Kreepfest 2011
August 12-14


Though I fear it is a mite early, and I risk getting lost amidst the early summer haunt events, I figured it was better to alert ya'll early that Kreepfest 2011, a celebration of our 10th year, is already shaping up to be the best one yet!

Held in Harrisonville (just south of Kansas City MO) Kreepfest is a smaller haunters gathering more in line with a family reunion than a convention. Friday will bring a special double feature movie night, Saturday will be a whirlwind of demos, haunted discussions, games, prizes, food, fun, and friends. Saturday night's Zombie Prom will kick off at 8pm, and the party won't be ending until every corpse has to crawl back into their grave. Sunday, there'll be a catered breakfast, a make-and-take project to work on, and a pre-Halloween haunt shopping trip. Because it is so early, there's still a lot of surprises waiting to be unleashed but you can check out the website for more details.

I remind you that Kreepfest is FREE. The only cost other than any vacation incidentals (gas, food, lodging) is if you want to purchase a kit for the Make-and-Take on Sunday.

There'll be updates aplenty when more secrets can be revealed, so keep your eyes on this space and I hope you'll be able to join us as we celebrate 10 years of being Kreepy!

.

We'll be there with bells on!

Seriously. We have bells.

This will be three for me.... will not miss it

Update time!

- First new item to mention is that this year, Kreepfest will host it's first Hearse Rally! We have already begun to have folk register for this free event, held in the parking lot of the VFW, and hope to have even more folk sign on as the day gets closer.

- Second, we have lucked out to get Becki Gooch from Raycliff Manor haunted house in Joplin MO to be our guest speaker. She'll talk about hiring for your haunt, character development and design, as well as acting techniques and safety.

- Next I can now tell you that there will be on-site printing of Prom Photos at the Zombie Prom, courtesy of Darkman. Along with a bag of secret prom swag for all those who come to party down. Six feet down!

- Lastly, a reminder to all those who plan to visit. There will be a super awesome 10th year anniversary present for all those who go on the Kreepfest site (link below) and pre-register their attendance before July 30!

-More Updates as they are nailed down! -

Has anybody heard if Raycliff Manor was in the Sunday tornado's path?

....that's a hell of a horrible, tragic mess they've got there...

I haven't heard, but according to the maps, Raycliff was south of the big swath of damage. I've dropped Becki a mail to make sure though.

Becki got back to me tonight. Her house was damaged, and her car totaled, but all the team is safe and accounted for. Most of them are now helping out the community as first responders, on duty officers, and volunteers.

Well, that's good and bad. The property damage sucks, but at least everyone is okay!

By the way, meant to drop this on Facebook but I'm thinking about it now, so hey. We contributed fliers for the Hauntcon goodie bags, which included the cards for Kreepfest. Also, we're participating in the KC zombie walk next week -- June 3 -- and have permission to distribute Kreepfest stuff. The organizer is also interested in talking further about the event.

I've also talked to KC Canton of Downrightcreepy and KC area horror filmmaker Jeff Chitty about the 'Fest.

Working on some door prizes and stuffs for you guys right now as well. Mwahaha.

Awesome! If you need more hand-out stuff, just let us know.

Just a reminder to all of you planning to come celebrate Kreepfest's 10th anniversary, you need to stop by the website at www.kreepfest.kk5.org and click that 'pre-register' box. Until that mail comes to me, I don't count you as coming.

"But I said I was coming on Facebook/on a Forum/In Person!"

And we were thrilled to see/hear it, but it doesn't count unless it's in my mailbox. We use the pre-registrations to determine how much food to buy and how many prizes we'll need, so, please, RSVP as soon as you can. If you can't access the site for some reason, just drop an e-mail to monevilizabeth@aol.com titled "PRE-REGISTRATION" with the following questions answered.

Are you coming Friday Night to the movie double feature?

Where are you going to be staying (so we can know where to drop off the
'Welcome to Kreepfest' bag.)

Are you going to be going to the shopping trip on Sunday?

Going to be at the Make-and-Take?

Because I know this is a hassle, everyone who pre-registers before July 31 will have a special gift waiting for them when they get there!

Everyone is welcome...... So if you realize you can come at the last minute and want to show up, DO! You're more than welcome. But if you know beforehand, please, PLEASE preregister so I won't have 50 hungry people there and only food for 10.

Thanks!
