HallowScreamCon is set to unleash a four-day nightmare extravaganza in Las Vegas from October 1–4, 2026. Billed as the world’s first global entertainment convention drenched in the spirit of Halloween, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill con. It’s a full-throttle, spine-chilling celebration of film, TV, music, gaming, comics, art, and everything that makes your pulse race when the leaves turn orange. Organized by Screen Masters International, a heavyweight agency with deep roots in entertainment, this event promises to transform Sin City into a haunted wonderland where fantasy and reality bleed into each other.
Picture this: the Las Vegas Convention Center morphing into a pulsating hub of horror and creativity, with over 15,000 fans descending to revel in the macabre. The teaser trailer alone is a hypnotic glimpse of what’s coming—think flickering jack-o’-lanterns, eerie fog, and a vibe that screams “this is where the cool ghouls hang.” From A-list celebrity panels to immersive scare mazes, HallowScreamCon is gunning to be the annual pilgrimage for anyone who worships at the altar of Halloween.
The lineup is a freakshow of awesome. Want exclusive sneak peeks at blockbuster films or upcoming games? The Major Film, TV, Music, and Gaming Activations have you covered with world-first previews and live performances. Got a twisted idea for the next big horror flick? ScreamLabs: Pitch Fest lets you pitch directly to industry bigwigs in a Frankenstein’s Laboratory setup, with some lucky ideas getting greenlit on the spot. The Global Artist Pavilion will be a candy store for collectors, showcasing original works from international artists, animators, and comic creators. And if you’re into the spooky side of reality, The Paranormal Zone will drag you through ghost stories and real-life investigations led by experts who’ve stared into the void.
For the visually inclined, the SFX Makeup Stage is where masters of gore and glamour recreate iconic film looks—think Hellraiser meets The Addams Family. Cosplayers and costume designers get their moment to shine in The Black Cat Walk, a runway showdown judged by heavyweights from film and fashion. Nightly, HallowScream SINema will light up the desert sky with open-air screenings of cult classics, indie horror gems, and world-premiere fright flicks. And when the sun goes down, The HallowScream Ball will crank up the chaos with live bands, DJs, and masked revelry that’ll make you feel like you stumbled into a gothic rave.
Families aren’t left out either—Little Screamers’ Sunday offers a kid-friendly Halloween wonderland with games and costumed characters. Meanwhile, hundreds of vendors, pop-up shops, and immersive installations will keep your wallet screaming and your senses overloaded. Daily stunt shows, scare actor performances, and main stage spectacles ensure there’s never a dull moment.
“We envisioned HallowScreamCon as more than just a convention—it’s a global celebration of imagination,” says Kelly-Marie Warnell, CEO of Screen Masters International. “Las Vegas provides the perfect stage for this groundbreaking experience, and we cannot wait to welcome the world in 2026.” She’s not kidding—Vegas, with its 3.5 million October tourists, is the ideal backdrop for this cultural juggernaut.
