There is no shortage of horror conventions, but one of the great thing about the convention circuit is that like film festivals, they each have their own unique flavor. Southern California’s Midsummer Scream stands out as a convention geared not just toward horror fans but for Halloween fans in general.

The Hall of Shadows can be found just off the main convention floor. The lights are off, the fog machines are cranked up to 11 and the screams are echoing. The area offers mini versions of walkthrough haunts, both from local independent haunts as well as experiences from large studios and haunts, offering a sneak peek of what’s to come in October.
