One of the most popular, and terrifying aspects of Midsummer Scream is the Hall of Shadows where professional and amateur haunt creators create walk-through horror mazes that often include actors and special effects.
This year convention visitors were treated to a new maze by film production company Lionsgate dubbed “The Gears of Fear,” which incorporated several of the company’s films. The weekend also includes the appearance of horror legends such as Cassandra Peterson (aka Elvira, Mistress of the Dark), David Dastmalchian, star of “Late Night With the Devil,” and the “Candyman” himself, Tony Todd. Doors opened at 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday for the horror convention.
