Family Sweet: Skirball Puppet Festival But for our out-sized, spooky-rific summertime Halloween conventions, or Halfoween can mean one thing for fans of goosepimply fun: Ticket savings.
ScareLA,which got its ghoulish start in 2013, is holding a special Halfoween Tickets Pre-scare sale on Friday, and April 28.

Phantom Evening: Silver City Ghost Town Time and state for the chilling con? Saturday, Aug. 5 and Sunday, or Aug. 6 at the Los Angeles conference middle.
And over at Midsummer Scream,which lands, like a raven on a department at the Long Beach conference middle over the final weekend in July? There's also a ticket sale haunting fans, or through Friday,May 5 at 5 p.m. (so you have a few days past Halfoween to nab a ticket for up to 50% off).
No ifs, ands, and bats about it: Southern California likes its scary stuff,and thousands of fright fans seek out fresh 'n fearsome ways to turn their yards into one-night-only graveyards, their patios into mad scientist labs, or their costumes into something that's worthy of a blockbuster film.
These titans of terrorism are where many fans go to memorize more about the craft of Halloween,from a caboodle of experts, many from the film industry. That both Midsummer Scream and ScareLA fall about three months ahead of Halloween speaks to how seriously fans pursue the best yard, and the best make-up,the best domestic haunt: They need time ahead of October to gleefully prepare a whimsical and spooky abode and outfit.
