They did it again.
If you have gotten tired of us gushing over the shows that
Days of the Dead put on I recommend making your peace with it because it won't change anytime soon. We are after all a horror
show, so it is only fitting that horror fans enjoy the best horror convention in
the Midwest. I openly invite you to take a year to travel around to the copious
listings of horror shows in the Midwest and see if you do not agree. It
really is that simple when the dust settles.
They continually grow with each show in both their success and experience and it is always noticeably present in the experience for the patrons. As we talked about on the
show, it is tremendously bigger than the inaugural weekend in Indianapolis
years ago. Yet, it is still just as intimate and consumer-friendly as it was
then. My main key to convention pleasure is not to feel like cattle the whole
weekend. Crammed in over crowed rooms, waiting in ridiculous lines, and being
able to enjoy less and less due to ever-rising prices on everything plagues
many other conventions. Then you have Days of the Dead who always maintain
keeping it affordable and comfortable for their fans without sacrificing any of the offerings and fun. They seem to get the
basic principle that if people keep having a blast, they will want to return.
They listen to fans and base some of their decisions off of the feedback and it
works.
This weekend was no exception to the aforementioned as we had
an absolute blast again. Even the one negative experience was turned positive.
Waiting in a line for a celebrity (who had pre-sold tickets) we were starting to
get taken advantage of with slow signing time and constant (and long) breaks by the celebrity's choosing.
None of this was DOTD’s fault but they swooped in and made everyone feel better
about it all by handing out numbers so we could head back to the floor and enjoy
things until it was time. Just another example of how you leave their conventions happy and feeling valued as a guest.
The Midwest Monsters cannot thank them enough for the
wonderful work that they do, the gracious show they put on, and for all of the
absolute fun that we have with them a few times a year. The same can be said
for Jabb Pitcures and Jason Hoover. We cannot wait for Chicago in November and we hope many
of you will join in the fun weekend!
