HAuNTcon also moves to a new city every year with the intent to grow the industry by promoting to home haunters, haunt actors and Halloween enthusiasts of all kinds.

Tours more than 15 haunted houses are available to attendees the show. The two day pre-show tour allows haunt owners an off-season look at local pro-haunts in operation, with additional spotlight tours on Thursday and Friday nights. The final tour of the weekend is on Sunday night and a Haunted Garage sale late Sunday holds attendees through the tradeshow hours.

Over 40 hours of Haunt education is included in the 3 day trade show admission.

Sunday April 28th 4:30 – 6. Buy or Sell Halloween & Haunt Items. It’s your chance to pick up a ‘killer’ deal at our Deadicated haunters garage sale. Near the end of our show, local haunted attractions, haunters, and vendors purchase tables to body dump items they no longer need. Just like your local swap meet, just about anything can end up for sale. Our items just tend to be a bit more bloody…

This is one of the great things to do in Dallas this weekend. There are just a couple of seller spaces left. A 6-foot table will put you back $35 bucks. Heck, the wife will probably pay you that much to get rid of some of your haunted house… stuff!! Click HERE to reserve your table. Buyers get in free with admission to the HAuNTcon show.
