Tonight we were invited to attend our favorite non-theme park haunt in Central Florida, Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail.

If you are visiting Sir Henry’s, please keep in mind that you must order tickets online in advance. You are given a time slot to prevent overcrowding, which is great!

The owner of Sir Henry's Haunt Zach Glaros welcomed us to the event tonight.

New this year is Sir Henry’s Twisted Apple Hard Cider. It is only sold during the first three weekends of the event and cannot be consumed on the premises.

Did you know there are two books based on the terrifying characters from the trails? And the authors are here tonight.

Some of the Spooky Eats that are available

The poster art that features the three new trails this year.

There are two escape rooms offered as an upcharge. We did one of them and found it fun and challenging.

Final Cut is our first trail of the night. It’s themed to an old school movie premiere that goes horribly wrong.

Headless is a beautiful and terrifying addition this year!

A look at some of the merchandise and prices this year. They even have candles themed to their haunted trails.

Rapture of the Deep was great. Some really creative scares in here!

Some creepy friends you might run into, including Sir Henry himself.

Sir Henry’s Haunted Trail is a must do for haunt fans in the central Florida area. This year is the best one yet! Thanks for inviting us!

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

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.

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!
