Home » Blog » Halloween Headlines

       

Halloween may only come around once a year, but for many, including enthusiasts and haunted house owners, the holiday is more of a lifestyle. This type of lifestyle doesn't only get celebrated in October either, the spooky spirit is spread throughout the entire year!

So, if you're a Halloween addict like us, you're probably always looking for a new way to keep the spirit alive during the rest of the year. And Halloween Conventions and Trade Shows are a perfect way to do that!

From TransWorld's Halloween & Attractions Show in St. Louis to Midsummer Scream in California, there are a number of great shows that take place throughout the country. These events are ideal not only for fans of the holiday, but for Haunted House owners, prop makers, makeup artists, set designers, macabre music creators and more.
