HauntedHouseChicago.com 2008!

HauntedHouseChicago.com is all new for 2008! HHC is under new management and ready-to-go for this Halloween/haunted house season!

Add HauntedHouseChicago.com on MySpace.com and Twitter.com to stay current on the latest Chicago haunted and Halloween updates, events and news!

We lost our entire mailing list in the recent move, so if you'd like to be kept up to date on HHC-based promotions and giveaways (Yes! Giveaways!) be sure to sign up (or re-sign up) for the HHC Mailing List.

We also lost our message board; we've merged it with the ChicagoHorror.com board in order to bring more horror/haunt/Halloween fans together in one place - http://chicagohorror.com/?q=forum/15.

HorrorFind Weekend Horror Art Show

Hello, Dark Artists –

Just a reminder that there's still time to show/sell your artwork and prints at the HorrorFind Weekend Horror Art Show, August 15-17.

If you didn't already know, we dispensed with the traditional convention Silent Auction system and now deal in straight-up sales; it's basically a Dealer's Room for art. This saw a dramatic increase in sales at March's show.

If you've already been juried, you can just go ahead and register for your panels and/or Print Shop space. If you haven't been juried, there's still time!

For full info: http://www.horrorfindweekend.com/artshow.html

The deadline for mailed-in artwork is August 10.

Hope to see you or your work in a couple of weeks!

Chad Savage
Organizer Guy

If you follow my personal blog then you know I spent the last 2 nights doing a new painting for this weekend's Halfway to Halloween Art Exhibit at the 1901 Gallery. I set up my webcam to shoot the progress and saved all the images, which I've animated for your viewing pleasure. If you ever wondered how I paint, here you go:
