Midsummer Scream 2026: Horror Musicals
Some people do not celebrate Halloween so much as survive the other eleven months. If you know who you are, this is the weekend that carries you across the summer.
The Hall of Shadows is the reason. A blacked-out stretch of the convention center holding more than a dozen fully built haunts — not teasers, not previews, the real thing — running all three days and included with every badge, no upcharge, no separate line. It is the biggest indoor haunt zone in California outside of October itself. Past that: 350-plus vendors selling costumes, props, seasonal decor, original art, and the vintage pieces that make a stranger grab your arm. Panels on haunt design, practical effects, and cosplay construction, taught by the people who actually build the season.
Long Beach Convention Center in August, with weekend and single-day passes online ahead of time.
Send it to whoever puts their skeletons up in July. They already knew.
