​LOS ANGELES, CA - Midsummer Scream, the world’s largest Halloween and horror convention, announces the Hall of Shadows will return to the Long Beach Convention Center as part of this year’s show July 26-28, 2024. The fog-filled dark zone will feature a horrifying array of haunted attractions, terrifying photo ops, and live entertainment.
 
Gears of Fear: Explore the Legacy of Lionsgate® Horror is the first walk-through experience ever created for the Hall of Shadows by a major motion picture studio. In partnership with Jon Cooke and his team at Plague Productions, Lionsgate invites fans to come face-to-face with some of the most formidable characters in cinematic history, as the studios’ greatest madmen and monsters stalk and slash at every turn!
 
Returning to the Hall of Shadows for the first time since 2017, Six Flags Magic Mountain will give visitors a sneak preview of an all-new scare zone debuting at Fright Fest this year, where terrifying creatures eagerly await their arrival – and their blood-curdling screams.
 
Passes for Midsummer Scream include admission to every attraction in the Hall of Shadows and are on sale now at MidsummerScream.com. Guests holding Gold Bat VIP credentials will receive priority access to most attractions in the Hall of Shadows, bypassing General Admission standby queues. Hall of Shadows will be open to guests Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 26-28.
 
“We are excited to celebrate the realm of ‘Spirits & Legends’ this year in the Hall of Shadows,” says Rick West, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Midsummer Scream. “Our tremendous corporate partners, along with some of the most talented haunters in the world, have been brought together, creating what will be the most thrilling spectacle we have ever presented to guests at Midsummer Scream. Each year, we wonder how these attractions can become bigger and better – and each year, these incredible teams rise to the occasion. We can’t wait to unveil everything in Long Beach!”
 
Guests will enter the Hall of Shadows through a dilapidated ghost town, created by the unstoppable team at Fear Farm. In this boomtown-gone-bust, spirits and legends of the Old West abound, setting the stage perfectly for what lies ahead, beyond its borders!
 
Within the foggy expanse of the Hall of Shadows, guests can explore and engage over a dozen spooky attractions, elaborate displays, and frightening photo ops that also include:
A good, old-fashioned romp through a haunted carnival to help members of Mystery, Inc. search for their missing pal, Scooby-Doo, courtesy of The Dreich Society; a Celtic graveyard filled with incredible detail and ghostly activity known as The Haunt With No Name… Yet; a pizza delivery gone very wrong in the halls of a monster-filled photo op experience from the Pizza Planet Truck and Art’s Sideshow; a complimentary photo shoot by professional photographer Rawl of the Dead in a creepy environment where only the departed reside; an exclusive club, as well as an interactive bar (for guests 21 and older), hidden within a dank warehouse, where members carry out their darkest violent fantasies, thanks to Santa Ana Haunt; a heart-pounding trip through the Lord of Shadow’s Puzzle Box, created by Realm of Shadow; 360° of terror in a photo op filled with scare actors from everyone’s favorite SoCal horror-themed Haunted Car Wash; a Western train station in shambles, where a ghostly locomotive has crashed through its walls in celebration of CalHauntS 20th anniversary; and a glowing pumpkin patch and spooky haunted house façade from Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group’s Magic of the Jack O’ Lanterns Los Angeles that the whole family will enjoy!
 
The incomparable Decayed Brigade will present three shows daily both Saturday and Sunday, and a special Friday night “interactive exhibition” on their Hall of Shadows runway, delighting hundreds of onlookers with high-energy sliding maneuvers and unreal stunts that defy gravity.
 
All of that and more will be waiting in the darkness of the Hall of Shadows for fans when the doors to Midsummer Scream 2024 burst open the evening of Friday, July 26 in Long Beach!
