Gates of Terror would like to thank M.H.C. for the privilege of being the guest haunt for the Friday night bus tour. Everyone was wonderful and had a great time. We spoke to many of you over the weekend and we were so happy to hear all the great comments from those in attendance. If you were able to attend the Friday night tour to the Gates of Terror we would like to hear from you. We would like to post comments on our website for our patrons to read. Please send comments along with your haunts name to info@gatesofterror.com .
Once again the Midwest Haunters Convention was excellent! Barry, Kelly, Kathy and Neena as well as all of their staff and volunteers work very hard to put on a very professional show.We had 22 people in attendance and 11 of our crew attended the seminars. Everyone enjoyed the show and learned something new. We look forward to seeing everyone at M.H.C. next year. 
Sincerely
Jim and Marlana Walls
Owners of Gates of Terror Haunted Attraction

A BIG Thank You to MHC!

We had a great time again this year at MHC.

Very glad to have had the chance meet everyone that stopped by my booth. I would like to thank Barry & Kathy and Kelly & Neena for putting together a fantastic show (let’s not forget those volunteers!)

Thinking about next year already and considering that I’ll need 4 booths this time around? I would surely need the assistance of the BodyBag crew, again!

Kevin (Gore-Galore) Sorry I keep coming into your booth and trying to sell your stuff , well, not really

Neena, glad we had a chance to talk a for a bit on Sunday, I would love to talk with you more about a fashion show.

For those of you that didn’t make it, well….

Plan ahead for next year.

We’ll be there, with twice the merchandise we had from this year.

Great Job MHC Crew!!!

Thanks, Jeff – Frighteners Entertainment

Barry, 

Jamie and I just wanted to thank you for having us at the Midwest Haunt Show.  You, Kathy, Kelly and Nina put on a great show.  It was so much fun and Jamie learned so much.  It was such a great opportunity for her to get to work with Jeff Glatzer on the Monster Make-up Wars.  The bus tours were outstanding and your hospitality was wonderful.  The seminars were so educational – Jamie came home with some great ideas. Again thanks all for our great time at your show. Thank you,

Kerri  and Jamie Perkins

Ok yall i just wanted to thank everyone for the MHC weekend. So here comes the list

Thanks to Crazy Bob, Tattoo and everyone that cheered for granny in the contest, You made it easy to get on stage and gross everyone out. While Granny didnt win she belives that the best did win.

Crazy Bob, Thank you for not only MCing the contest but drinking outta Grannys boobs and drinking with granny.

Tattoo,Crazy Bob, Ken Spriggs,Mouse,Wayne Sealy,Timmer,Ghostly Manor and all the others that invited Granny to come up and play with them this year.

Hi everyone,

This was our first show with our new company and it couldn’t have gone better. Everyone was very helpful. It was great talking with all the vendors and attendees. What a great group of people! I can’t wait until next year. Special thanks to the guys at Evilusions, Body Bag and Ghostly Manor for showing us the ropes. And thanks to all the FREEK drinks we got from Body Bag, we are now addicted.

This was #3 for me and I think this was the best so far. I do have to say that the party at THE LODGE was great . the people that had no idea of what was going on was fantastic. The hot rod guys this year were very surprised and had a great time . I had a lot of them ask me about next year. Something about body painting I think. Thanks again guys ,another great job. Now time to get to work . Well after my brother get his haunted wedding done this weekend, our haunt is top of the list. PYRO , Spintinglers Trail of HORROR

I’m glad I finally made it out! It was an excellent place to spend part of our honeymoon trip.

Wendy had been turned off by haunt conventions due to her many trips with me to Horrorfind and Va Haunt Fest, but I think MHC got her hooked again. She really enjoyed all the acting and make-up classes she went to, and she loved the fantasy side of the show as well.

Excellent job!!!!! Hope to make it next year too! -Louis, Darkwood Manor

What an awesome show!  This was my “first time” and I had a blast!  My fiance’ works in the industry and I am hooked!  I posted all the pics we took at the party on flikr.com and just thought I would send you a note in case anyone wanted to view them.  they are under the name DarkStarr, tagged Midwest Haunters Convention.
Anyways, I thought the whole event was great and I will definitely be seeing you all at other tradeshows and, of course, MHC 2008!
Thanks!

My wife enjoyed herself so much that she wants to attend again next year!

She tolerates my Halloween addiction but she get’s annoyed because her

birthday is November 1 st!

What you folks did was amazing!

Did y’all get to go on some sort of vacation after the convention?

Thanks again,

I know it has been a couple of weeks now since MHC 2007, but I wanted to take a moment and thank Kelly, Neena, Barry, and Kathy for doing another great job for this 4th year of MHC! I was delighted to be one of the judges for the Bloody Mary Makeup Wars and thought the contests on saturday night went a lot smoother than they had in the past. There was a great vibe from the customers on the floor both days and lots of great conversation of course with everyone. There were a lot of good comments on the seminars and I truly enjoyed my own on sunday on quick and effective makeup jobs and thank all who attended! I look forward to MHC 2008 already! And if you have never gone in any of the previous years, I highly suggest attending. Besides all of the great products sold , and the great educational classes available at this convention, the one great thing I love about MHC is the laid-back feeling of being able to be with your extended creative family and meeting new members each year who want to learn from other’s experiences. It is a great feeling to influence and be influenced by others who share their passion for this strange art form that is the haunted attraction industry!

Happy Haunting for 2007!

Geoff Beck
