If you’re a horror fanatic and you live in or around Los Angeles, California, chances are you’re attending ScareLA this August. In fact, those who enjoy partying with fellow convention-goers have probably snagged tickets to The Bloody Ballroom. It certainly sounds like organizers have put together a fantastic event for all involved. This East Coast denizen is a little green with envy.
However, a horror convention isn’t really a horror convention without a few genre-related guests. To entice people to venture into Los Angeles for this August’s ScareLA, organizers have unveiled a few of the attractions that they have lined up at the moment.
From the Press Release:
It’s “big reveal week” here at ScareLA! For starters, we’re excited to return to one of our favorite topics, The Haunted Mansion, with a discussion about the ride’s legendary character, The Hatbox Ghost. On Saturday, August 8, join Tony Baxter (Former Vice President of Creative Development of Walt Disney Imagineering), fan favorite artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily, and moderator Doug Barnes from the Season Pass podcast as they discuss the origin of the legend, and why it took over 40 years for him to make it to the attic of Disneyland’s most famous house.
On Sunday, August 9, ScareLA has collected a lineup straight out of Springfield, as the writers behind “The Simpson’s” annual Halloween episodes, known as the “Treehouse of Horror,” take the stage. Among those joining us are Jay Kogen (“Hungry Are the Damned” and “King Homer”) and Mike Scully (“The HΩmega Man”). More denizens to be announced soon, but Comic Book Guy is already proclaiming: “best panel ever!”
And on Saturday or Sunday (we’re still deciding!), the amazing makeup team that put the “horror” in “American Horror Story” will pay a visit to ScareLA, discussing their favorite character creations over the past four seasons and offering their own tips on how you can use their techniques for your own Halloween makeup and costumes.
If you’d like to see what ScareLA has lined up for this year’s convention, take a look at the schedule on the official website. You shouldn’t be bored at any point during the event.
