WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
TransWorld's Halloween & Attraction Show is the most unique Haunt and Halloween Trade Show anywhere. With vendors and visitors from several states and countries attending, TransWorld is the most talked about, most anticipated Halloween convention of the year. According to Jennifer Thaler, president of TransWorld Trade Shows, LLC and the mastermind behind the show each year, TransWorld's conventions deliver more vendors, more haunted house products, and more creative ideas than any other haunt show anywhere. "TransWorld's Halloween and Attraction Show is the largest, most anticipated convention in the haunted house industry. While there are many reasons for our success, the most significant factor is the enthusiasm our great vendors and attendees bring to the show each year. They come together as an industry and the result is incredible, the ideas, the creativity, it's unbelievable."
Thaler says the show is a MUST-ATTEND for any haunted house owners, actors, and suppliers (it is also open to those considering starting their own haunted house). Jennifer also states that TransWorld's Halloween Show is also perfect for owners of Corn Mazes, AgriScare Organizations, Pumpkin Patches, FECs (Family Entertainment Centers), Amusement Parks, Zoos and Aquariums. In addition, it is open to Escape Room owners and employees. "We are not open to the public because we want the focus to be on the haunts and the suppliers to the haunted house industry.

WHEN AND WHERE?
TransWorld's 2025 Halloween & Attraction Show opens for business February 27th and will continue through March 2nd.

HAUNTED HOUSE SUPPLIERS & VENDORS
If you are a Haunted House Prop Maker, Animatronic Manufacturer, Set Designer, or Special Effects Company, you have to be at TransWorld, according to many of the haunted house vendors and suppliers. That's also true for the Makeup Companies, the Mask Makers, and the Costume Makers. "This is a MUST SEE, but it's also a MUST BE if you're a haunted house supplier or vendor," says Bert Zelten, co-owner of MiniSpotlight.com, a Wisconsin special effects and lighting company. "We are here every year, and the show definitely pays dividends for us. We like the people, we really appreciate the TransWorld folks and we love the sales that we do at TransWorld each year. Without TransWorld, we couldn't make it in the business."
Kevin Alvey, president of Gore Galore (a southern Indiana company that creates giant props and animatronics), agrees. "This is our biggest show of the year, and quite frankly, most years, it's our only show. We start writing business almost immediately the day the show opens, and we don't quit until the show closes. Typically, our book of business is full before the show closes. That pretty much keeps us wrapped up producing what we sold at TransWorld the entire season."
You will certainly find the best-known vendors in the industry at Transworld's Halloween Show. Just one more reason it is so popular.
