Midsummer Scream 2022 - The Return of Halloween in July!

Picture
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!
Picture
The first indication on how much the event has grown were the ads in the lobby.
Picture
Click that code to get your Delusion tickets!!!
Picture
Our first stop in this update (not our first stop at the event) was the Museum of Halloween. Video walkthrough is below.
Picture
We really enjoyed this and can only hope it not only comes back in future years, but expands.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
So much cool stuff to see (and for us older folks, remember)
Picture
Picture
Picture
Let's head to the show floor. We could have spent SO MUCH money here. They're going all in for Shaqtoberfest!
Picture
Cannot wait for the Haunted Hayride!
Picture
Lots of little Halloween touches everywhere
Picture
I made a friend
Picture
Pennywise, a friend to all
Picture
Even the Pizza Planet Truck got a Halloween makeover
Picture
The best investment at any Con, or Fair
Picture
They've even got stuff for those of you who love plants
Picture
I tried to think of the most harmless thing
Picture
So much unbelievably cool artwork. We got this for our oldest.
Picture
Picture
Picture
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. 
Picture
Saturday Night was the Deadly Disco, so we stopped by to join in on the fun!
Picture
Picture
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)
Picture
Of course, for us, the heart of Midsummer Scream is the Hall of Shadows
Picture
It really gets our happy little Halloween hearts ready for 2 months of scary fun
Picture
Picture
Picture
So much great stuff on display
Picture
Picture
Clown Town has been added to the list of SCV Haunts!
Picture
Picture
Picture
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.
Picture
Until next time Midsummer Screamers!

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

Picture
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!!! 
Picture
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
Picture
The Hall of Shadows was bigger and better than ever
Picture
Picture
Picture
We can't wait to check out these full events in October!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
No Midsummer Scream would be complete without a visit to the Black Cat Lounge 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Six Flags Panel where the monsters came out to play
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Girls, Girls, Girls!!! 
Picture
Caption Contest!!! 
Picture
Queen Mary Dark Harbor Panel is always one of the highlights of the weekend 
Picture
Picture
Nice photo-bomb Big Mike!! 
Picture
An all new panel this year from Warner Brothers and their Horror Made Here event 
Picture
The excitement for this event is palpable, the room was very full for a first year panel 
Picture
Picture
Picture
We also had a chance to talk with Jon Braver from Delusion 
Picture
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!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Had a great time talking with John, Chris and Michael where we talked about non-IP mazes, non-existent fights and kick ass shoes. 
A behind the scenes look at how the magic happens. 
Picture
Thanks Midsummer Scream for another amazing year, already counting down the days until next year.
