When people hear “August” they think of beaches, late nights, back to school shopping … all of that changes this year.
Don’t run from the fear—embrace it at the ScareLA Halloween Convention! ScareLA and Creative Partner Scream Team Productions (Rob Dyrdek Scare Gram, Mind Terrors) bring the horror holiday to Los Angeles, California August 10th – 11th, 2013. Premiering at LAMart, it gives the City of Angels its first convention “…dedicated to celebrating Halloween.” Anyone wanting a preview of what’s to come this October needs to be here!
Attendees can expect some of the biggest names in the Halloween and Horror industries, such as John Murdy and Chris Williams (creators of Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights), Jason Blum (“The Blumhouse of Horrors” 2012, “Paranormal Activity” franchise, “Insidious”), and designers and veterans of Knott’s Scary Farm to showcase first looks of upcoming projects. Other appearances include Scott Michaels (Dearly Departed Tours), Mike Talarico (The Empty Grave Haunted House), and Garner Holt (Garner Holt Productions) to name a few.
Scream Team Productions has stepped up to create and execute a most wicked and exciting Sliding Demonstration using sliders from their team of Elite Monsters, Knott’s Halloween Haunt, Empty Grave, Hollywood Sports, etc. The show will run twice both Saturday and Sunday. As is that wasn’t enough the terror consultants of the Inland Empire are producing an after party for Saturday, August 10th! Details will be released soon.
For veterans and those new to the Haunt scene ScareLA provides classes, seminars, and workshops to kick-off planning Halloween in August. Bone Yard FX has the know-how to transform the everyday person into an extraordinary creature from nightmares. Be sure to swing by the Bone Yard Effects Demo Stage throughout Saturday and Sunday for tips on applying prosthetics and coordinating colors to achieve the right look. Actors can brush up on their scare technique at “Movers and Shakers: Acting Technique” class while their supervisors take away budgeting advice and new tricks for treating set pieces. Those wanting to relive the magical, sweet days of youth can sign up for Pumpkin Gore: Carving the Ultimate Jack-O-Lantern or Skulls and Bones: Sugar Skeleton Making. Be sure to check the website for updated lists on the classes page.
The best part of any convention is the booth line up. This year’s is no exception. Read the latest in horror at the Fangoria booth, The World’s Favorite Horror Magazine. Set the trend—dress like its Halloween during the summer with Kreepsville 666’s unique dark style of fashion. Don’t forget to pick up some goodies for October from Grex Professional Airbrush, Immortal Masks Hollywood, CA , Froggy’s Fog, Spectral Illusions, and more.
What could be better than having this much Halloween packed into one room? Having Dread Central filming every second of it! The Dread Central crew will hold live interviews with attendees, vendors, and special guests while broadcasting highlights from both days. This year is merely the beginning of what will become a staple event in Los Angeles. So don’t miss an opportunity to be part of it! The ScareLA Convention will be held at 1933 Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90007 from 11am to 7pm Saturday, August 10th and Sunday August, 11th. Parking is available in LAMart’s automated gated lot.
