The world’s largest Halloween and horror convention Midsummer Scream is returning to Long Beach Convention Center this Summer.
Between July 26-28, 2024, the Southern California convention enters its seventh year, and promises a host of Halloween goodness to get horror fans in the mood early (because for horror fans, Halloween can never come too early).
Midsummer Scream Details
The convention’s theme is ”A Haunting”, which sees an exploration of ghost stories in fiction and reality. The theme will be an ever-present throughout the convention.
Here’s the official word on what’s already planned for this year’s Midsummer Scream.
”Midsummer Scream will boast a celebrity special-guest lineup that includes the Roger L. Jackson (the voice of Scream’s Ghost Face) Boulet Brothers (Dragula); John Kassir (Tales from the Crypt); Garret Sander, the creator of Monster High, accompanied by voice cast from the animated TV series; and more to be announced in the coming weeks.
Midsummer Scream will also feature a world-class schedule of panel presentations covering all of the season’s biggest news, including planned presentations by Thirteenth Floor Entertainment Group (creators of LA Haunted Hayride, Delusion, Shaqtoberfest and the Magic of the Jack O’Lanterns); Six Flags Magic Mountain’s Fright Fest; Winchester Mystery House, and more to be announced soon.
And, of course, Midsummer Scream’s cavernous and enormously popular Hall of Shadows—75,000 square feet of haunted attractions created by some of the most renowned professional and home haunters—will delight attendees with enough thrills and chills for an entire weekend with an entry experience created by Fear Farm.
In addition, classic Midsummer Scream components will be on hand throughout the Long Beach Convention Center, including the “Pumpkin Patch” scare-free kids’ zone; the Black Cat Lounge, with kitten adoptions from Kitten Rescue; and the Screaming Room Film Festival, presented by HorrorBuzz. What’s more, some 350 vendors will be on site to offer their wicked wares, including Trick or Treat Studios, the Halloween Shirt Company, Backstitch Bruja, Sin City Props and Froggy’s Fog.”
Passes on sale beginning March 2 for three days of fright-filled fun; limited-time special rate for general admission passes available. Head to the official Midsummers Scream website for more details.
