Pre-LA convention trip thoughts
Posted by admin in Past Halloweens
one more week til Midsummers Scream! and then another week til ScareLA (3rd time!) Words can’t even express how excited I am….. it’s weird how spiritual I get once I think about all this. Like I cannot verbally express this stuff to anyone else… just feel it, immerse myself and experience but I can’t really share it with anyone else because either I’m not good enough with words to express the feelings or I know they already don’t feel the same way… the people who feel the same way are the ones I meet once I’m there, their the ones that are there with me seeing what I’m seeing.
I’m already mentally preparing myself if our haunt doesn’t happen this year…. I’m gonna be super dissapointed but I realize these things happen, not everyone’s on the same page and even big established haunts sometimes have issues and have to take a year off, like Big Worms or Evil Twin studios…. I mean can you imagine how all the cast felt at Evil Twin when they couldn’t do their haunt last year!? The scope of it…. The only thing I can do is brace myself to the best of my abilities and if it doesn’t happen… well I have ALL the time in the world to be what I truly am first and foremost… a haunt enthusiast! That’s why I never started my own haunt or operated one (and that’s what Shaun has to understand and now see me as a threat) is that I would 100% rather GO TO EVERY HAUNT EVER than have to stay home and own one. So… hypothetically IF the haunt doesn’t happen, I will:
Go to LA closer to Halloween weekend so I can experience ALL the home haunts, ALL of them.
What about a trip to Orlando/Tampa!? a quickie trip of course… I dunno……. OMG. What would I hit…? Nah…. LA’s got a lot. No need for Orlando…. just keep it on the back burner.
Maybe 2 trips to LA? One for Mickeys Halloween Party (yup!! I did my research and I am going as Moana !!) and whatever else is open at the beginning of October and then another quick weekend trip maybe the weekend before Halloween. Tony will be gone to the DR the weekend before, so I won’t feel guilty and so I can hit all the home haunts.
Breaking news!! Evil Twin is NOT doing a haunt for 2017. This is 2 years in a row. Best wishes for them for next year.
