Thanks Adam... St. Patrick's day is coming up soon if you'd like to pee on ANOTHER parade. LOL.

[Motograter]

Wow I've never heard of such an event..That looks like a lot of fun!!

[Haunted Illinois]

Actually, it's funny you mention that. He has stood on a chair before!

I talked Tom Savini into standing on a chair for my 2004 Transworld Overview, so a close-up of his booth's banner and he could be in the same picture.

Man I was ticked I missed it. I was suppose to hook up with Sean Cain there on his new film too.

But as always AWESOME PICTURES! Great Photo Coverage man.

Two Bloody Stumps Up!

Holy Crap! Great video Ken!

The haunt actors taking Fangoria with no holds barred as usual!

At 5:35 of that video the doctor comes in bends Lizifur over and appears to give her a check up, she screams yet smiles and then the doctor has the clown sniff his hand and the clown passes out! Only Chicago Haunt Actors could be so dam vile! I Love it!

Congrads Matt! And nice hysterics by the kids from Real of Terror as well, Steves got a good group over there!

Thanks for sharing. Did you yourself go??? How was it what celebs showed?

Yes, Larry. I did go. It was a lot of fun. And yes, there were a lot of celebs there. Gotta love the horror scene. =]

You took some great pictures. It looks like a fun time.

Thanks Noah. With the contests, I was lucky enough to weasel my way into the front row, where I bumped elbows with the “real” press. LOL

Adam,

Did they work out the bugs this year?
Last time i went in 2006 they were having a LOT of problems managing it.
Our big complaint was Jason and I had bought pre paid tickets yet had to wait to get in regardless. He had a confirmed receipt from them but they didn't have us on their list.

They made him call his credit card company which then had to fax the wyndham a second set of proof showing he was actually charged for it on his card
The buy at the show line was wrapped through the Wyndham about ten times and when you finally did get in half the celebs were no shows
And the private screenings were all sold out by 9am.
We left very upset, hopefully they got it right this year.

I did notice a lot of Haunt actors did the costume contest and if the pictures show right Matt (sheldon) Pronger took top awards? A-1, and Liz and Megan made it out as well?

Kevin,

Yes, things seemed to work very smoothly this year. Actually, I didn’t pre-purchase tickets and was able to gain entry without much hassle. There was, however, a lack of signage for the line for registration, but I was able to find my way, after asking one person.

The lines for the celeb photo ops and other events seemed quite reasonable, compared to other events like DragonCon.

My only complaint would be that I wish the even had been bigger. I was able to make my way through the bulk of the show, not accounting for the events scheduled for later in the day, in less than an hour.
