Most of the haunted fun ends in October, with only a handful of haunts offering scares throughout the year. That’s why, in the dead of winter, HAuNTcon comes to town. HAuNTcon gives haunt freaks a taste of something scary in the middle of the winter with a huge convention and trade show, plus a look at tons of haunted attractions, all during the off season. Every year HAuNTcon goes to a different city, and this year, the swamp will get a little scarier.
