MHC 2012 Recap - Part 2

So after walking around the tradeshow floor at the Midwest Haunters Convention, Scrapes and I went over to the hotel to get ready for Saturday night's Masquerade Party. We ended up getting a room at a hotel away from the convention center, so we scared the hell out of a few people in the elevator and lobby as we embarked from our room, dressed as zombies. The poor guy coming out of the ice machine room turned the corner and jumped about 3 feet when he saw me. He laughed after, but we think he may have peed just a little. Not often do you run down the hall to get some ice and run into a couple of zombies in the middle of June.

We made our way back to the convention center in time to meet up with a few of our friends from the Northern Ohio Home Haunters group, snapped a few pictures and went inside...

Scrapes and Highbury, professional hotel guest haunters. It was very difficult to find enough arms to carry weathered lanterns, hold cold beers AND take photos of amazing costumes...

Some of the Northern Ohio Home Haunters crew: Eric, Scrapes, Stacey, Vince and Sabrena

 

Janel, another member of the Northern Ohio Home Haunters. Notice the nose hair and the two-headed parakeet??

This was one of my favorite costumes of the night. Yes, there is a person in there somewhere...

 

My favorite photo of the night. Meet the SvenPuss crew. I asked to take their picture and this is what I got. Amazing costumes, incredible makeup and a perfect pose from everyone all in one shot. This is a group that I will definitely have to keep an eye on...

And last but not least, be sure to check out all of the shots from Laura Dark Photography. She had a setup where she shot approximately 13,734,741 photos of all the partygoers, including the ladies from the Body Art Show (all of my shots came out blurry, as there were so many people jockeying for position to get their photos - I got a lot of great shots of camera phones, backs of heads and hands...). 

She even had time to shoot a photo of two professional hotel guest haunters...
