Midsummer Scream is always an exciting pre-launch to the fall haunt season and Long Beach Convention Center is once again ready to play host to all the terror-ific fun in 2024. Unfortunately, the event this year coincides with the same weekend as San Diego Comic-Con which is possibly the scariest part of all for fans of both events.

The theme for the epic three-day event this year is “A Haunting” and attendees can expect panels, presentations, and special experiences interwoven with that theme. All of this in addition to special panels, the trademark Hall of Shadows, and much more!

Here’s a taste of what you can expect for Midsummer Scream 2024.
