How Do We Do It?
January 24- Dallas, Tx- Join Ian Aaderink as he presents a panel discussion, “Intro to Plaster Molds for Latex Masks or Prostetics,” at the North Texas Comicbook Show located at the Doubletree Hotel Market Center. The panel begins at approximately 3-3:15 pm following the Cosplay contest.
He’ll be bringing some finished pieces that have already scared you and showing you how we make a bit of the magic. Join us and pick up some ideas that can take your Cosplay to the next level in 2015.
You better watch out, you better not cry…
December 14- Plano, Tx- Krampus is coming to town! Visit him at Dark Hour Haunted House from 1-4 pm on December 14. Sit on his lap, tell him all your wicked ways and smile for the camera.
This event is sponsored by BITY Mold Supply and while Kampus won’t be giving out anything you would want, they will be giving away great door prizes. And of course you can register to win free Dark Hour tickets at the event because it is almost time to Wreck the Halls.
Just FYI- it actually won’t matter how much you cry, the Krampus really doesn’t care.
You’ll Be Safe on the Lighted Trail… Mostly
December 13, 19, 20- McKinney, Tx- Take in the natural beauty of the Heard Museum as they present the Holiday Trail of Lights. While you are enjoying the festivities, don’t forget to stop by the Dark Hour booth to win some swag and take your pic with our cemetery angel- it will make a great image for your holiday cards. Be sure to stay on the lighted paths- you never know what might be moving in the trees…
Don’t Forget to Wave
December 13- Plano, Tx- While most holiday Parades herald the arrival of Jolly Old Saint Nick, this year the Annual Christmas Parade in Plano has an unexpected guest. In this rare public appearance, Frosne the Ice Witch will leave the Manor to ride through the streets of Plano on her throne bringing her own kind of holiday magic. Be sure to wave as she passes by- just hope she doesn’t wave back.
We Dare You to Rock Around Our Christmas Tree
November 30- Grand Prairie, Tx- The Christmas carols may have taken over the mall, but I doubt you find too many of them at Jingle Ball at Verizon Center in Grand Prairie. Stop by the Dark Hour booth for a chance to win free swag and register to win tickets to Wreck The Halls- it is almost that most wonderful time of the year after all.
Krampus will be on hand to take pics with those of you who may not have quite made the cut for the nice list this year.
Tis the Season
November 22- Dallas, Tx- The Dark Hour promo team will be on hand as the city of Dallas kicks off the holiday season with the lighting of the downtown tree.

Prepare to Be Judged
November 15- Dallas, Tx- Our Casting Director LaNelle Freeman joins the judging panel for the cosplay contest at the North Texas Comic Book Show at 2 pm at the Doubletree Dallas Market Center. Be ready to take lots of pics of the creative cosplayers as well as any Dark Hour creature that follows her to the fun.
As an added bonus, you can enter the raffle for chances to win tickets to Wreck The Halls.
Don’t forget to tag us on instagram- @darkhourhauntedhouse when you post that selfie with the cosplay winner, or the creature, or LaNelle.
