Multiple Panels And Meet-And-Greets

Horror fans can meet the original survivors and killers of Woodsboro for autographs, selfies, and professional photo-ops throughout the weekend, including:
- Matthew Lillard (Stu Macher)
- Skeet Ulrich (Billy Loomis)
- David Arquette (Dewey Riley)
- Jamie Kennedy (Randy Meeks)

Celebrity photo-ops and the Roger L. Jackson meet and greet can be ordered through Pose Photo-Ops here.

The Panels For Scream
Can’t-Miss Weekend Panels
The weekend’s programming is packed with dynamic, heavy-hitting panels that will gut you like a fish:
- Saturday, August 8: Matthew Lillard takes the stage to host the SCREAM 30th Anniversary Panel, promising special guests, wild franchise insights, and plenty of chaotic audience engagement.
- Sunday, August 9: Dive deep into the auditory terror that kept you looking over your shoulder with THE SOUND OF SCREAM. This panel features master horror composer Marco Beltrami, Spencer Charnas (frontman of Ice Nine Kills), Roger L. Jackson, film producer Marianne Maddalena, and music supervisor Ed Gerrard. Together, they will dissect the spine-chilling music, terrifying vocal delivery, and razor-sharp audio that defined the franchise.
Don’t Get Woozy! Admission Will Sell Out Soon!
“Weekend” and “Gold Bat VIP” passes have already been slashed to zero and are completely sold out. If you want to make it to the final credits, you need to move fast, and visit midsummerscream.com as single-day passes are on the verge of selling out next.
As a huge fan of Scream, this is some great news. The original cast doesn’t get together very often and especially with Matthew Lillard. It would have been amazing to get the entire cast together, but everything can’t be that perfect. Outside of that, the Video Store from Paramount Scares also sounds like a fantastic time.
Midsummer Scream runs from August 7-9th in Long Beach, California.
