I LOVE haunts, it’s not that they scare me I just appreciate everything that goes into creating them. From inception to their execution, the voyeur in me can’t get enough of watching other people get the living crap scared out of them. And by the looks of this growing industry, I’m not alone in my enjoyment of all things macabre. Midsummer Scream is growing by the year and expects to draw over 30,000 fans with it’s greatly-expanded show floor featuring more than 300 unique vendors along with a children’s activity area, live entertainment performances and relevant celebrity appearances, including the queen of Halloween, Cassandra Peterson (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark).

So what’s it like to attend a haunt convention such as Midsummer Scream? There is something for every level of enthusiast from home haunters to getting insider details from the creators of the top theme park and independent haunts. It is humorous and scary all at the same time with opportunities to engage, shop and get your haunt fix a couple months before the big day, Halloween or in many of our cases, we enjoy and experience the season for an entire month.
