HauntX DIY Trade Show Expo returns to Southern California under new management on February 23rd – 24th, 2019. Taking place at the Pomona Fairgrounds, HauntX will be a Halloween creator’s paradise. It will focus on haunt creation and education, with demonstrations, classes, make & takes, and a large exhibitor floor filled with items to build and decorate your Halloween displays.
HauntX was the first Halloween trade show I ever attended, way back in 2007 (under the previous management). I greatly enjoyed the expansive vendor floor – and I still have some of the items I purchased there (see the skeleton nun and three hanging lanterns in the below picture). Additionally, I was the only attendee to sit through the entire 4-film Saturday night screening room block – quite the accomplishment.
What excites me about this revival of an event that holds a special place in my heart is that it will focus on education and empowering creators. HauntX hopes to differentiate itself from other SoCal Halloween events by giving individuals the tools to enter into the home haunt realm or even transition from home haunts into something more professional. With a strong team from area DIY haunt groups, attendees are sure to learn a lot in whichever education track they choose.
