Two More Haunts on Friday!
Kick Off the weekend with more haunts and a party!

When we asked you what you preferred on Friday night, a party or haunts,
you said BOTH! The Friday night MHC kickoff will include not one but TWO
great haunts AND a party. Join us for a fun filled evening as we visit
Scaratorium, Columbus' newest haunt owned and operated by MHC producers
Kelly and Neena Collins. We will then travel to the infamous Haunted
Hoochie / Dead Acres - "The World's Most Agressive" attraction.

Upon returning to the Hyatt, join us in the Big Bar on 2 for our newest
tradition - Scaryoke! Check out the Friday Night Activities | Midwest Haunters Convention for more details.

Contest Registration Open
Register now for Monster Makeup Wars and Ms Scary Midwest

MHC is now accepting applications to participate in our two most popular
events.

The Bloody Mary Monster Makeup Wars pits fives teams of three artists
against each other. Each team is challenged to create the scariest, most
creative, monster from the neck up. There is one catch though. They do
not know what materials they have to work with until the contest starts and
they only have 30 minutes to do it in! If you feel you are up to the
challenge submit your application now. We will accept applications through
April 16th at which point the five teams will be chosen at random.

Each year the Ms Scary Midwest Pageant searches for the scariest female
character. Eight lucky "ladies" will vie for this prestigious award
onstage during the Saturday Masquerade Ball. These eight will be selected
from all entries, submitted by April 16th, by a panel of judges from around
the haunt industry.

Please visit the Contests | Midwest Haunters Convention for more details and to download the applications.

Weekend Seminars!
Presented by HauntBots

Industry recognized for providing some of the best education, MHC is once
again proud to announce the 2010 Weekend Seminar Series lineup. Featuring
some of the most respected names in the haunt community these classes will
once again prove to be well worth the cost of registration. In what will
grow to 30 offerings, these classes will focus on Business, Design, Makeup,
Acting, and Props. Check out Weekend Seminars | Midwest Haunters Convention for
all of the classes descriptions and register today to attend.
