Midsummer Scream is ready for a return to form with an in-person event at the Long Beach Convention Center this summer. The three-day event will mark the Fifth Anniversary of Midsummer Scream with special panels, its famous Hall of Shadows, and much more!

Here’s a taste of what you can expect for MIDSUMMER SCREAM 2022…

Feature Presentations

  • “Original Monster Kids” will be an unprecedented gathering of the Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney Jr./Sr., and Vincent Price families on stage to share pictures, home movies, and discuss what it has been like growing up the children and grandchildren of the most famous horror and pop-culture icons in the world.
  • Winchester Mystery House, LA Haunted Hayride, and “Composers of the Apocalypse” which will feature legendary horror genre musicians… and perhaps even a live performance or two!

Museum of Halloween
