Kreepfest
Back again in 20-10!!

Ah... August. Summer's coming to a close... kids are thinking about school's swift approach...and the haunters of the world are ready to shift into high gear! Come join us at Kreepfest, show off what you've gotten done or get some new ideas to kick start your build season! Maybe you just need to be among like-minded haunt-folk who understand why you're out melting pink foam with a blowtorch in the middle of July!

Kreepfest is held in Harrisonville, Missouri, right off of the MO/KS border and about 30 miles south of Kansas City. 7, 71, & 291 Hwys all pass through Harrisonville, and we're easily accessible from I-35, I-70,& I-29.

Friday, as ever, is our Movie Madness night with a special showing of a cheesy movie. (Past movies have included Psycho Beach Party, Hillbillies in a Haunted House, and The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra)

Saturday morning/afternoon will host games, prizes, prop-making demos, meeting new people, a bring-a-side lunch (meat provided by Middle of Nowhere),and a few surprises still being hammered out.

Saturday night is Zombie Prom. Put on your most decrepit dress, your toxic tux, and come boogie down...six feet down! There will be a Prom King and Queen, drinking, dancing, and a lot of laughs.

Sunday, we'll gather for a catered breakfast and our make-and-take of Witchy/Lab jars. A chance to get your mits on that eye of newt, or those giant mutant slugs your haunt has been crying out for. After we have lunch, we'll go tour a couple of local cemeteries (one said to be haunted) and get some tombstone ideas and some fresh air before heading out to go put all we've learned to good use.

You can view our site at Kreepfest. Here there is a schedule of events being updated regularly, pics and vids of past years Kreepfests, hotel suggestions and the chance to pre-register.

Those who pre-register before July 31 will be getting a special 'Welcome to Kreepfest' basket full of goodies (including some of CandyMom's handmade chocolates!), so be sure to let us know you're coming!

More to come as the time draws near. Hope to see ya'll there!

REMINDERS!!!

Just over six weeks until Kreepfest 2010!

Don't forget to bring a video of your haunt for the Haunt-a-rama show on Saturday where everyone will be showing off their particular brand of awesome for fellow haunters to get ideas from. From the most advanced pro haunts to the simplest yard or garage decoration, I can bet your haunt, whatever the size or shape, will inspire someone.

Also remember to pre-register for Saturday to get your special treat basket! CandyMom needs to know how much candy to brew up!

Lastly, if you're planning to come to Sunday's Make-and-Take, you'll need to drop a line to monMasterFab@aol.com and let Pickleman know you'll be there so we'll have plenty of supplies set up



Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Only three more weekends between now and Kreepfest 2010!!

We've gotten lots of pre-registrations, so CandyMom will be making plenty of candy for those good boils and ghouls who signed up on the website! Not to mention the other little goodies that pre-registration gets you. So those of you who plan to come but have not yet stopped by the Kreepfest website and sent in your pre-registration info, DO IT!

The haunted shopping trip is shaping up as well, as we've a pretty nice sized group prepared to go forth hunting for haunting.

I would remind you also of the Graveyard Sale. Whether you're a creator of Halloween-related goodies or just the owner of some extra stuff you want to sell to those who might appreciate it, bring your treasures along.

Again, don't forget to bring your haunt video! We'll have a DVD player to show off all the haunts and let you talk us through them.

I'm getting all tingly in anticipation, and am looking forward to seeing both known faces and new alike!

I've never been to this event and would like to hear from some of you that have. I run a charity haunt in Oklahoma and am always looking for ideas. Of course, my budget is always limited and those big conventions would just make me want props I can't afford so maybe this would be the event for me. What do you think?

Hey Pollywog! I hope you do come. Truth told, I am horridly prejudiced about Kreepfest since I help put it on... but I love it. It's a small gathering, really more like a family reunion than a convention. We're small, but that allows for a vibe of closeness and friendship that can sometimes be lost when there's hundreds of people milling about. There are a few folk on the following thread talking about their experiences so you can have an opinion without the prejudice.

Question for NE Kansas and NW Missouri haunters.

Thanks for the info. I registered today. See you all there.

Last year was my first year, I'll be back this year. I was made to feel most welcome. Thanks for all your hard work Eviliz.

Awww. Thank you Rick. I am looking forward to seeing you again.

For the rest of ya'll perusing this...tomorrow (July 31) is the last day to pre-register! If you haven't done it, DO IT. It costs nothing and gains you chocolates!

We've about twice the number pre-registered as in 2009, so it's going to be a great year!!

Hubby and I finally got registered last night, I know we missed the chocolates, but we are locked in and will be arriving early Saturday morning. *LOL* Got the hotel reserved for Sat. Night and TOTALLY looking forward to Zombie Prom! WOOT

Awesome! I'm so excited!! I can't wait to see you guys.
