'06"...All I can say is what a great show! We sold out of
nearly every animatronic we brought out, right away! The larger ones went to
some Hollywood movie makers shooting a horror film later in New Mexico. This was
definitely a lot more appealing show than the others and way better for us than
Transworld." Chris Johnson, Johnson Animatronics |
"...Haunt
X was absolutely amazing! As
a vendor, we surpassed our
national
single day sales record on
Saturday, then surpassed that
record on Sunday - WOW! Wil
 has found the secret to bringing
haunters to the Haunt Vendors, yet
still keep that small town feel to
the event. See you next
year!"

"...WIL, the show

"....we
weren't exactly sure what to
expect. But just to be safe, we
loaded up with lots of extra stock
and headed up to Haunt X which
delivered exactly the type of
customers with whom we had hoped to
connect. I'm talking hard core
Halloween enthusiasts with cash and
cards in hand. ...we almost ran out
of stock because we had sold far
more product than we had expected!
I've also noticed that in the week
following the convention, we had
almost 2000 additional hits on our
website. Clearly, the convention
attendees are sharing their
excitement with other Halloween
enthusiasts and we're getting
additional sale from that too.
Overall, Haunt X was a very
positive experience and we are
definitely looking forward to being
there next year."

say is WOW! This was a fantastic
con. That was great!...Lots of very
good deals to be found. I spent
$1284.84 in 45 min...I had money to
spend and spend it I did!
....several vendors sold out before
I even got there.... The seminars I
did get to were great! Jerry from
spooky FX put on a great lecture on
cable controls! ...The wine tour
was so cool! Next year, I will be
there for the full
con. If you want
to attend a great con, you could
not do much better than this one
and that is a fact!"

"....Deathfest
(Haunt X), (RIP), was a huge
success. You've really outdone
yourself....it's almost
 becoming
too successful....a huge boon to
any haunter interested in
animatronics! Thanks once again, so
much, for putting on such a
wonderful, fun-filled, educational
event and allowing us haunters,
from pro to rookie, to mingle, meet
and learn from each other!"
Mike Fox |

"....We had a BLAST!
We are yard haunters
that were
ready to step it up a notch and
boy, did we ever find inspiration!
The workshops were terrific.... One
of the best parts
was meeting many
friendly folk who were so willing
to share their experiences and how-tos.
We will be there again next year
without a doubt. In fact, we were
sad that we planned our flight for
Monday!"

".....Ralis'
seminars were totally Awesome!
.....Also the seminars by Michael
Chaille were amazing -
Mummification just blew me
away...... Chuck Williams' talk on
acting and getting the most from
your actors was really
inspirational - I wish every teen
in Drama in the area could have
been there - I hope he'll be back
next year! "

".....Deathfest
(Haunt X) was great fun and I can't imagine a better way to
spend Valentine's Day. I enjoyed the seminars & the vendor room was great fun. Skeleton
 Coast had great deals on creepy jewelry and people stocked up for the party Sun. night. If any vendors are reading this, I say hie thee to Deathfest
(Haunt X) next year because we all got caught up in the buying mood and I bought much more than I had
planned!"
