Recommendations for Best Trade Shows

[JesusFreak1959]

Hey EFX-TEKkers,

We're considering opening a venue for Halloween.  Anybody have strong recommendations for haunt trade shows east of the Mississippi?  I know of a few (e.g. TransWorld, HauntCon, MidWest Haunters), but would really like to go as close to Raleigh, NC as possible.  A noted exception would be similar to what happens with AES conventions - you go to NYC or LA, or you don't go.

Thanks in advance,
JF59

There is Scream Fest http://www.spookyempire.com/ in Orlando and a new one in Charleston, WV called Shocka-Con http://wvshockacon.com/.

If you are considering opening a Haunted Attraction, then Transworld is the only Tradeshow that matters. Midwest Haunters and Hauntcon are both fun, but for a professional haunted attraction owner, almost all business happens at Transworld.
