Welcome to the Massachusetts Gathering of Haunters! Our event is open to all haunters, both home and pro and to those who are just curious.
The Gathering is held on the last Saturday of June every year.
What is a Gathering you ask? Good Question. Well, in the haunt industry, it refers to a picnic/social event for people that work in or run haunted houses, or simply love decorating for halloween. It is a chance to meet others with similiar likes, to socialize and most importantly, to exchange ideas. Most haunters share one fascinating characteristic, they prefer to build a unique item over purchasing a display from a store. It is this trait that has people building tombstones out of insulation foam, or creating dummies out of pvc pipe, or learning new skills such a pneumatics or electronics, that has this dedicated group of people creating singularly unique haunted attractions.
Please feel free to blatantly steal any ideas you see on these pages, but make sure you give the author credit for his work. And...if you have a way to improve on something you see here, please email me the idea - bigger, better, cheaper, easier, scarier!
Thank you,
