MIDSUMMER SCREAM
AUGUST 7-9
LONG BEACH, CA
If Halloween had its own Comic-Con, it would be Midsummer Scream. Widely recognized as the world's largest Halloween and horror convention, this three-day event brings together thousands of horror fans, professional haunters, filmmakers, artists, and Halloween enthusiasts to celebrate spooky season months before October arrives.
Fest Tip: Plan to spend an entire day, if not the whole weekend. The Hall of Shadows alone can take hours to explore, and many vendors release convention-exclusive merchandise that sells out early. If Halloween is your favorite season, Midsummer Scream is one of the best places in the country to discover what's coming this fall.
