HallowScreamCon Will Debut in Las Vegas in 2026

HallowScreamCon is an all-new convention coming to Las Vegas next year, as it will focus on and celebrate all things Halloween

A brand new convention has been revealed for horror fans, as HallowScreamCon will be coming to Las Vegas next year. Formed by Screen Masters International, this event is squarely focused on all things Halloween, set to happen from October 1–4, 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We have more details below as the event is still a year and a half away from happening.

HallowScreamCon 2026

More than just a convention, HallowScreamCon is a fully immersive fanverse—a celebration of pop culture, fandom, nostalgia, and spectacle, all set in the entertainment capital of the world at the most thrilling time of year: Halloween. But make no mistake—this is not a Halloween convention. It is a multi-genre fan experience that spans film, TV, games, anime, comics, music, fashion, beauty, stunts, live performance, tattoo and tiki culture, theatre, and more. A living, breathing world for anyone who's ever been obsessed with characters, stories, or the worlds that bring them to life.

After three years of planning, the event's flagship venue is finally announced as the Las Vegas Convention Center with additional satellite venues set to be revealed in the coming months as part of a long-term goal to grow into a citywide takeover. Think Comic-Con meets immersive theme park—with theatrical zones, narrative quests, exclusive screenings, hands-on horror, and behind-the-scenes access to the entertainment worlds fans love most. Every element is designed with a deep respect for fandom culture and a passion for storytelling. Fans will enter a curated world divided into immersive zones, including:

• Main Stage & Black Catwalk – Cosplay contests, live shows, and major celebrity reveals
• ScreamLabs – A pitch zone for creators of original horror, sci-fi, and fantasy IP
• The SINema – Screenings of horror classics, cult gems, and premieres
• Meet & Greet Graveyard – Celebrity photo ops and panels with a gothic twist
• GAME OVER – Horror gaming, esports, VR, and interactive challenges
• The Crossroads – Tattoos, retro fashion, tiki culture, lowbrow art
• SFX & Beauty – Glam, gore, makeup artistry, and live transformations
• Otaku Obscura – Anime, manga, K-horror, and Eastern fandoms
• Paranormal Activity Zone – Ghost hunters, séances, and supernatural lore
• Art & Animation Zone – Comic artists, illustrators, voice actors
• The PUNKINS Zone – A whimsical, family-friendly world of games and daytime fun
• Something Wicked – An after-dark playground for 18+ scares and adult content
• The ShriekEasy – A hidden tiki haunt with its own cinematic backstory

At the heart of the narrative is Countess Shrieky Von Tiki, a cursed 1950s starlet who vanished after sipping a forbidden cocktail called The Final Scream. Her legend lives on in the ShriekEasy, but finding her requires fans to play her game. Starting this fall, a nationwide treasure hunt will scatter HallowScream Coins and cryptic riddles across social media, fandom hubs, and major cities. Solving them will unlock secret show content, prizes, and access.

Signature events include the glamorous HallowScream Ball, the nostalgic Freaky Friday Fright Night (a Halloween prom tribute to the '80s–'00s), and The PUNKINS, a daytime celebration for families and young creepers. Early bird tickets will be released October 1st, 2025—exactly one year before the show opens. With a strong waiting list already in place, these are expected to sell out quickly. Fans are encouraged to sign up early, follow the clues, and unlock exclusive early access rewards before general admission opens.
