The West Coast Haunters Convention is the longest running convention for Home Haunters, Professional Haunters, and Halloween Fanatics on the West Coast. Located in Portland, Oregon at the Lloyd Center inside the Hilton Doubletree Hotel. The dates for 2016 are April 29th through May 1st. The WCHC is at year seven and Ed Roberts doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon.

In this episode of HaunTopic Radio, we get Ed Roberts on the Haunt Line to chat about the new things for the West Coast Haunters Convention in 2016, the projects going on at the Nightmare Factory, and how escape rooms are changing the haunted attraction industry. We also announce our partnership with the Haunted Attraction Network and how you can listen to other podcasts related to the haunt industry with a different point of view. Skip forward to the end of the podcast to listen to Scene 5 of The Night Keep: Heretica plus hear a few tunes from The Night Keep through the episode. The back story to this music is getting pretty scary. Make sure to go back and listen to the past 4 podcasts to start at the beginning. Bottom Line: If you're a Haunter and live close to Oregon, or have means to get there, the West Coast Haunters Convention is definitely a place to stay for a few days. Take advantage of the haunt education, nighttime activity, trade show floor, and everything else the WCHC has to offer.

The Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show is the largest trade show for the Haunted Attraction Industry. I've been six times and each trip is a blast! It was great to meet up with friends and meet new ones. Scope out new stuff for my Haunt. And immerse myself in the dark sea of mechanical monstrosities. Here is my audio review of this year's show and 13 live audio interviews from the vendors direct from the trade show floor. If you're a Haunter and you've never been to Transworld, you must attend at least once. The event is open to members of a Haunted Attraction business, Halloween fans that spend money on props and other items for their hobbies, and the re-sellers who purchase large volumes of products. There are also educational classes, floor demonstrations, and parties throughout the week. This year offered tours of The Darkness, Escape Rooms, and a trip to Six Flags. The trade show is held at the America's Center in St.Louis, Missouri. Usually in March. This year it was March 17th through March 20th. The official website of the Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show is HAASHOW.COM Here are the 13 vendors I interviewed during my stroll through the Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show: Scared of My Shadow: Custom leather masks Paache: Quality made air brushes 13th Ward FX: Silicone masks & props Closed Casket Studios: Prop heads & hands Cross Breed Productions: Scare actor props Reynolds Advanced Material: Mold making materials Necrotic Creations: Detailed Decor for your haunt Gilderfluke: Prop controllers & animations Haunter's Hangout: Live monthly hangouts with Haunters Hot Wire Foam Factory: Foam carving tools Haunting FX: Animatronics & Escape Room Controllers Haunt Shirts: Apparel for Haunters Click Here to Listen: LIVE from the Transworld Halloween & Attractions Show
