Midsummer Scream was once again quite the experience. The convention has two types of passes, regular passes and VIP passes that they call Gold Bat, however the Goldbat passes sold out every day!
On Friday, everyone enters at the same time, but the other days of the convention, Gold Bat ticket holders get an early hour of the convention.
The convention, it’s a three floor experience with panel rooms in the second and third floor, with a main floor taking place on the lower or first level of the experience. You enter into an antichamber on the second floor which is filled with photo-ops and a couple booths and experiences.
On the second floor they had vendors selling wares beverages to purchase, and even a couple shows to take in. The second floor also housed the Cat Lounge, and our much loved Casa Calaveras walk-through art show.
The third floor housed the main stage for shows and panels, which we frequented for the Knott’s Berry Farm Panel and the Thirteenth Floor panel.
The ground floor is accessed by a series of small escalators and you immediately are greeted by Big front booths of Universal, LA Haunted Hayride, Dark Harbor, Six Flags, and Knotts Scary Farm. They use these spaces to introduce people to the scare actors and more! Behind those booths, are a ton of vendors and exhibitors selling their wares and goods.
The place we spent the most time during the convention however was the Hall of Shadows, which hosts a series of scary photo-ops and mini haunted houses from a myriad of companies! The Hall of Shadows is dark, lit by blacklight, and full of fog machine smoke. They even have a professional demonstration of Gliders.
I can’t wait to attend next year when they move to Anaheim!
