Midsummer Scream 2022 - The Return of Halloween in July!

It was finally back! After a 2 year wait with a couple of mini events sprinkled in between, it was back to Long Beach for Midsummer Scream!

The first indication on how much the event has grown were the ads in the lobby.

Our first stop in this update (not our first stop at the event) was the Museum of Halloween. Video walkthrough is below.

We really enjoyed this and can only hope it not only comes back in future years, but expands.

So much cool stuff to see (and for us older folks, remember)

Let's head to the show floor. We could have spent SO MUCH money here. They're going all in for Shaqtoberfest!

Cannot wait for the Haunted Hayride!

Lots of little Halloween touches everywhere

I made a friend

Pennywise, a friend to all

Even the Pizza Planet Truck got a Halloween makeover

The best investment at any Con, or Fair

They've even got stuff for those of you who love plants

I tried to think of the most harmless thing

So much unbelievably cool artwork. We got this for our oldest.

The event however wasn't without it's hiccups, as all large events have. Saturday was easily the busiest we'd ever seen the event. And the lines to get in, and for the HHN panel were outrageously ridiculous. But the panel itself went off without a hitch.

You can see our live-stream of the panel below, as well as our full breakdown of the HHN Panel here.

Saturday Night was the Deadly Disco, so we stopped by to join in on the fun!

So fun seeing everybody in their scary best getting down with some spooky music (once the DJ stopped playing Reggae and realized their audience was there to party down)

Of course, for us, the heart of Midsummer Scream is the Hall of Shadows

It really gets our happy little Halloween hearts ready for 2 months of scary fun

So much great stuff on display

Clown Town has been added to the list of SCV Haunts!

Some of the lighting in these mini haunts and displays is simply amazing. And they do all of this in about 1 1/2 days.

Until next time Midsummer Screamers!

Midsummer Scream 2018 - One of the best Cons of the year

In just it's 3rd year, Midsummer Scream has taken it's place as one of the most organized, fun, stress free and amazing conventions of the year. Last weekend we were on-hand all weekend to check out all of the amazing panels, the Hall of Shadows and just a fun time with all our haunted friends.

Let's head into the fog ...

Written by Gregg Condon

Welcome to Midsummer Scream 2018!!!

First up was the Knott's Scary Farm panel where they talked a lot about their process and announced an all new scare zone Forsaken Lake

The Hall of Shadows was bigger and better than ever

We can't wait to check out these full events in October!!

No Midsummer Scream would be complete without a visit to the Black Cat Lounge

Six Flags Panel where the monsters came out to play

Girls, Girls, Girls!!!

Caption Contest!!!

Queen Mary Dark Harbor Panel is always one of the highlights of the weekend

Nice photo-bomb Big Mike!!

An all new panel this year from Warner Brothers and their Horror Made Here event

The excitement for this event is palpable, the room was very full for a first year panel

We also had a chance to talk with Jon Braver from Delusion

The last panel of Midsummer Scream was a unification of Halloween Horror Nights on both coasts. No big announcements, but the 90 minute chat was amazing!!
