MIDSUMMER SCREAM 2019 – TICKETS NOW ON SALE
The World’s Largest Halloween and Horror Fan Convention Returns to Long Beach August 3-4

In it’s 4 year, Midsummer Scream, THE largest Halloween and horror fan convention in the world promises more of everything! Get your fill of haunts with a weekend of vendors, attractions, presentations and live entertainment! Due to it’s extreme popularity, for the first time, Midsummer Scream will occupy the entire Long Beach Convention Center, doubling the show’s size for 2019, now that’s a lot of freaks for your buck!

I LOVE haunts, it’s not that they scare me I just appreciate everything that goes into creating them. From inception to their execution, the voyeur in me can’t get enough of watching other people get the living crap scared out of them. And by the looks of this growing industry, I’m not alone in my enjoyment of all things macabre. Midsummer Scream is growing by the year and expects to draw over 30,000 fans with it’s greatly-expanded show floor featuring more than 300 unique vendors along with a children’s activity area, live entertainment performances and relevant celebrity appearances, including the queen of Halloween, Cassandra Peterson (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark).
