The sun is shining, steaks are on the grill, families are cooling off at pools and beaches, and this month Halloween is coming to Chicago. More accurately, a new Halloween convention is making its debut at the Lisle Hilton on the 16-19 of July. Chicago Frights is Hobbyists, yard haunters, costume makers, makeup artists and anyone else who simply digs scaring people. Open to the general public and everyone who loves Halloween is invited to attend!

“Chicago Frights is three days and four nights of Halloween networking , sharing scary ideas, learning new techniques, buying special effects and frightfully good times." says Leonard Pickel, Show Coordinator and 35 year veteran of the fright attraction industry. "Haunting has come a long way since I started, and even in this slow economy Halloween events are making good money!"  Pickel chose Chicago for this convention because according to web portal FindaHaunt.com, there are over 80 haunted and Halloween events within a 75 mile radius of O’Hare airport. One of the largest haunt markets in the country…

No matter what your level of expertise, Chicago Frights has learning opportunities for to fit:  Hands-on workshops covering makeup, prop building and special effects, classes covering business plans, and actor employee handbooks, and actor training and character development classes.  Chicago Frights provides attendees access to learn from the best and brightest the industry has to offer.

The Chicago Frights dealer room is filled with prop and makeup providers, many selling products at wholesale pricing. Off season tours of local haunted houses are offered for those who can't wait until October. Social events like the Hearse car show, zombie walk and costume Party provide great networking opportunities, and a last chance to have some fun before the Halloween build season starts up. Last October, Americans spent over 7.4 billion dollars on Halloween, now the fastest growing holiday, second only to Christmas. Chicago Frights is an awesome vehicle for fright enthusiasts to get a jump on the holiday. Learn more at chicagofrights.com.
