Post Summary
Midsummer Scream is the world’s biggest and most awesome horror convention. It will be held this year from August 7-9th at the Long Beach Convention Center in Southern California. The convention has panels, booths, and most importantly, the Hall of Shadows. The Hall of Shadows takes over an entire wing of the convention center with previews and little tastes of the haunt season coming. The theme for this year is Descent Into Darkness.
A Haunting Good Time In The Hall Of Shadows
Venture into the world of perpetual nightfall with the most ambitious collection of haunted attractions in Midsummer Scream’s history. The entry portal is from Eulogy Collective, SoCal’s only year-round haunted attraction. Universal Horror Unleashed is making a first-time stop in the Hall of Shadows with a character encounter with some of the icons from this Las Vegas house of horror.
Lionsgate Entertainment also makes a return for a third-straight year with an all-new walkthrough attraction, inviting guests deep into the woods, where they’ll come face-to-face with an ancient evil.
All passes for Midsummer Scream include admission to every attraction in the Hall of Shadows. Guests holding Gold Bat VIP credentials will enjoy priority access to most attractions in the Hall of Shadows, bypassing General Admission standby queues. Hall of Shadows will be open to guests all three days of Midsummer Scream — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, August 7 to August 9.
