1. Are any organizations
guaranteed a Fan Club Package? Any Fan Club may fill
out an application for attendance. Keep in mind that participation
and conduct during the course of the convention helps
in choosing future participation. Each application is
reviewed carefully before an acceptance or denial can
be sent out. If at first your organization is not accepted,
fear not! You be put on a waiting list in case we have
any cancellations or end up with more room.
2. What is offered with
my Fan Club Package? Your organization will
receive a FREE 10’ x 10’ floor space (a $350
value)! Upon arrival at the convention (after check-in
with registration) you can pick up a floor map and find
the Fan Club area. Each organization space will be marked
with blue painter’s tape and a display indicating
the organization to be placed within each area.
3. Does the Fan Club Package
come with tables and chairs? No. The convention center
charges booth spaces for areas occupied with convention
chairs / tables. Your organization would need to bring
your own tables, chairs, and wastebaskets, however, if
your organization would be interested in renting such
accessories at a discounted rate please email FanClubLiaison@gmail.com
to get further instructions.
4. What makes this event
special for Fan Clubs like ours? That is a very good
question. We can’t think of a better way to get
into the spirit of apple-bobbing, trick-or-treating, haunted
houses, spooky tours, and of course dressing up in costume,
than to celebrate with all of you! The best part is that
if you come celebrate these festivities with us, you can
set up shop for FREE and let us help you promote your
organization.
5. Can I sell merchandise
at my table? Absolutely! The only
thing we ask is that you still items specially related
to your organization. Any product being sold as a violation
of the above will be requested to be removed. Any further
requests beyond this warning to remove non-organizational
products from the show floor may include expulsion from
the convention and possibly effect future participation
at events.
6. Is any merchandise forbidden? We do not censor our
vendors from selling their products, we encourage it!
Yet, because this is an all-ages event we ask our vendors
to use some discretion [especially at a child’s
eye level] when setting up displays for any materials
that may be viewed as controversial or explicit. The National
Haunters, Halloween, Horror, & Hearse Convention does
not permit the selling of merchandise that is deemed as
a copy / bootleg / pirated material. Any organization
found in violation of this policy will be asked to leave
the convention for the weekend.
7. Does the Fan Club Package
include electricity? The convention center
charges per wattage used, however, if your organization
is interested in purchasing electricity for the weekend,
please send an email to FanClubLiaison@gmail.com
for information on receiving electricity at a discounted
rate for your area.
8. Does our organization
receive any complimentary admission or tickets to the
Show Floor, Haunters Tour, or Costume Ball? The Thursday before
the opening of the show floor is a set up day. There is
an informal “meet and greet” afterward (usually
in the evening) that is FREE, however, if the members
of your organization would like to receive passes for
the organization they can purchase them at a discounted
rate of $10.00 for the weekend. All we ask is that you
please email a copy of the full name of the persons planning
on attending and the organization they will be attending
with. As the members of your organization “check-in”
at the Registration booth, they will be asked to present
a photo I.D. for verification purposes and be able to
purchase their passes at this time. Furthermore, if your
organization is interested in attending the Haunted Tour,
Costume Ball or other Convention events, you will need
to purchase these items at the standard price.
9. Are any organizations
allowed to host seminars or put on stage performances? If this is something
your organization is interested in we may be able to accommodate.
It cannot be guaranteed since the prime and most available
spots are given to paid vendors, however, feel free to
email the Fan Club Liaison with your inquiry and the information
regarding your organizations performance or seminar and
we can make further arrangements at that time.
10. Are any Fan Clubs allowed
to bring large “eye candy” displays to the
convention (e.g.: TARDIS, Batmobile, Ghostbuster Car,
etc)? If your organization
has a large display or vehicle they would like to bring
to the convention floor, please email your inquiries to
the Fan Club Liaison. Further arrangements will be made
at that time.
If you have any additional questions please contact the
Liaison for Fan Tables at FanClubLiaison@gmail.com
