This Year's Participants


WELCOME TO THE 2013 COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN

If you want to know which houses are giving out the good candy this year, then look no further than the list below. Remember when you stop by to say thank you by leaving them a comment for all the hard work they've put into making Halloween the greatest holiday of the year.


If you do not see yourself on the list and would like to be added, please read this post first. DO NOT leave a request in the comment box below. You will be added asap.

If you are on the list but would like to have us change/correct how you are listed, please let us know in the comments section below. Every effort has been made to make sure everyone who asked to be put on the list has been put on the list, but mistakes happen. Please don't feel slighted, or take it personally. Corrections will be made as quickly as we can.

I would like to thank everyone who responded to this year's email summons, as well as the one posted on this site and who emailed me back letting me know either way about participating this year. I can't tell you how much easier this went this year than past years, so my very sincere thanks on making that so.


If I've counted correctly, we have 192 people participating as of this year's launch, which is down quite a bit from last year,  but I anticipate more will be joining us as we go. While we've lost a few participants from Countdown's past, you'll notice quite a number of new participants joining us for the first time this year, and I hope they'll find the experience enjoyable enough to come back next year. 

Now that that's out of the way it's time to put on your masks and start trick or treating. Happy Halloween!

Hell yeah! I am ready for the festivities to begin!

Newt said...

And Infinite Hollywood!

Hey guys, I'm super excited to be involved with the countdown! I signed up last year, then didn't post a thing all October (or 2012 for that matter. Long story), so I can't wait to get started this year! I noticed that some sites had a link to their Tumblr included, I didn't know that was an option! If you could include mine, that'd be amazing! Here's the link:

http://thehaunteddrive-in.tumblr.com/

Listing it as The Haunted Drive-in (Tumblr) is great. One last thing: I'm running a giveaway all through October, and entering gives you a shot at a free DVD copy of the Irish horror comedy Grabbers! Please enter and retweet for extra entries every day! OK, enough advertising. Thanks so much for including me in the countdown, and Happy Halloween everyone!

I noticed on the list that part of my blog's name was spelled wrong.

It's supposed to read "Bat N' Kat" not "Bat N' Cat."

Please change this A.S.A.P. Thanks!

Dex said...

Let's get this party started! Big thanks to Shawn, Jon. & John for organizing this skeletal shindig!

Wings1295 said...

Too late to get in on this? Looks awesome?

Unknown said...

Thanks for adding my Tumblr! Our first post is a short love letter to that age-old tradition, the walk-through haunted house. We're not going to be able to post every single day, but I can promise at least a couple posts every week, so check back often! Don't forget to enter our giveaway for a shot at a free horror DVD!

Can't wait until my next day off work so I can blog-binge on everyone else's stuff!

Kim Z said...

I saw the badge on Count Gregula's Crypt. I'm doing a Halloween series this month including a lot of interesting guest authors. I hope you'll include me on your list. Listing Toward Halloween: http://www.chicagonow.com/listing-toward-forty/

Kim Z said...

Oops. Just read more closely. Email sent.

Britt Reid said...

Let the fun begin as Seduction of the Innocent presents the only 1950s horror comic host to narrate his own never-reprinted origin story...

Richard Schiver said...

I'm running a countdown to Halloween. Every day I feature a horror author that I've enjoyed reading in the past, along with their latest release. Sorry, I'm not giving away anything as this was a last minute idea, just giving some exposure to a number of deserving writers.
