Midsummer Scream is finally upon us. The summer Halloween festival kicks off tomorrow at the Long Beach Convention Center. Leading up to the event we’ve featured a number of pieces about some of the exciting things the festival has lined up, including Slashed: The Musical, an Are You Afraid of the Dark? panel, and a grand finale celebrating 45 years of Knott’s Scary Farm.
