Special Events for
HallowCon '09
Of Charities and Food Drives
Our Charity, this year, is a small Food Bank just across the state line in Catoosa County Georgia. We will also be doing a food drive for the bank so bring along some non perishables, preferably canned. To save time for us and the Food Bank please check the expiration date. If it is expired all they can do is throw it away.
The Molly Maguires
Our favorite Irish Band The Molly Maguires will be entertaining us Friday evening at 8:00PM with all the Irish music you care to drink. Where else do you get dinner and a show at a con.
Psychic Fair
Tyra Mitchell and Polly Corbin will again be organizing an evening of entertainment and divination Friday night at 10:00PM. Want to know the future? Sign up for a reading to find out and raise money for charity at the same time. All proceeds from this will go to our charity.
Ghost Hunt
Tennessee Paranormal Investigation Team will be searching for paranormal abnormalities at HallowCon, this year. Anyone that is interested can have their room checked for, and cleared of, malevolent spirits, or maybe just a friendly ghost. This should be a blast and members can witness the use of the equipment used in these investigations. Anyone wishing to participate in this should go to the TPIT table in the lobby and sign up. “The Search for Spook” will begin 11:00PM Friday night.
Halloween Carnival
This event is for our 12 and under members. We need adults, too, for the Trick or Treat to work. For this HallowCon all children, 12 and under, will be admitted free. You will still have to pre-reg or door reg them as usual with a notation beside their name "Pre-teen". The Carnival will kick off with a room to room Trick or Treat at 1PM, Saturday, and will go right into our Carnival, in the Con-Suite, from 2PM till 5PM. The way the "Trick or Treat" works is our adult members, who wish to participate, will be in their rooms during that time period for all the little ghosts and goblins to relieve them of their treats. Tricksters will gather in the Con-Suite, at 1PM to start the tour of the "Treat Rooms". We will print up a special sign to go on the doors of those adult members participating. The Carnival will include such games as Bean Bag Toss, Musical Chairs, Milk Bottle Toss, Pin the Tail on the Monster, and more. Other ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Tennessee Paranormal Investigation Team

Your home on the Internet for horror, suspense and sci-fi radio programming from the 1940's through today. Dark tales with a bizarre or supernatural twist are sure to captivate your attention and leave you wanting more. Macabre Mansion will be broadcasting live from HallowCon throughout the weekend.
The Cemetary Surfers
Will be performing Saturday night following the Slave Auction. Formed by a Group of Parapsychologists and Ghost Hunters, The Cemetery Surfers spend as much time in haunted locations as they do onstage. The Cemetery Surfers have combined Surf, Rockabilly, Punk, New Wave, and Jazz sounds to create their own style of Progressive rock tunes. The music has a Horror/Sci-Fi theme that is designed to be entertaining and humorous in a Monty Python sort of style. The lineup includes: Rockabilly Hall of Fame Guitar Player Jeff 'Ugly Shoes' Harris, Dr. Mark Burtman on Bass ,and Gary Cowart on Drums. They have been described as "a cross between the Beach Boys and Vincent Price".
More to come.
