The Haunted Attraction Industry joins the fight against breast cancer. Some of the most prominent names that make “Scary” their business are pulling every skeleton out of the ground to raise money for Nancy Allen, a fellow Haunter/pervious Haunt Owner. Allen, who is also known as “Elmyra, the Hearse Chic”, was misdiagnosed in August 2007 with what doctors referred to as “only a cyst”. On December 25th, Allen was diagnosed with Stage 3 Cancer, resulting in her having to have one breast immediately removed. Like millions of Americans, Miss Allen has no health insurance.

The Official Drive, “Haunters for Hooters”, will take place at Midwest Haunters Convention in Columbus, Ohio June 13-15th. Included in the sponsor list are BIG names like “Midnight Syndicate Films and Soundtracks”, “The International Association of Haunted Attractions”, “Haunted Attraction Magazine”, “Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando”, "Sinister Visions", "The Ghoulish Gallery”, Dee Snider from Twisted Sister, Pat Priest from “The Munsters” and Camden Toy from “Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer” just to name a few.
