Sure, it's Fourth of July week in the United States, but we're also just over a month away from the start of the 2024 Halloween season at the nation's theme parks.
Halloween fans can celebrate the haunt season's imminent return at the annual Midsummer Scream convention, which runs July 26-28 at the Long Beach Convention Center in California. [Here is the link for tickets.] The event includes preview panels for several theme park Halloween events in California, but there's much more than just that at what has become the nation's largest annual Halloween and horror-themed convention.
