Midsummer Scream 2018 Tickets Now on Sale

Long Beach Convention Center, Long Beach, CA

For most people, this time of year is about spring and rebirth and renewal.  But for those crazy haunt fans like myself, it's already time to start thinking at least a little bit about the 2018 Halloween season.  Why?  Well, last Friday, tickets to Midsummer Scream--Southern California's largest and grandest Halloween convention--went on sale to the public!

Midsummer Scream has been a huge hit in its first two years, and year three promises to be even bigger!  For the first time, the Hall of Shadows and the Decayed Brigade Sliders will be housed in their own separate hall rather than share space and a divider blackout curtain with the exhibitors.  This will provide a lot more space for the mini-haunts and the Decayed Brigade show, which has crowded up space in the past.

The usual haunted attraction suspects will be back at Midsummer Scream, giving their own behind-the-scenes presentations and offering glimpses into what's new for this upcoming season.  And plus, there's all the wonderful sights and costumes and fandom that comes with a con like this. 

Get your tickets today!
