ScareLA

It’s never too early to get into the Halloween spirit, so make ScareLA your first stop for tricking and treating this August. The L.A. Halloween convention will grab you—no touching, please—with its lineup of top makeup artists, magicians, filmmakers, designers and more. Master all things Halloween from pumpkin carving to your costume, and take classes and workshops for tombstone carving, custom monster mask making and much more. For a spookier time, listen in on real L.A. horror stories and chilling tales of haunted mansions, or creep into the screening room for bone-chilling (and never-before-seen) short films and features. Plus, on Saturday night there’s a fiendish costume party.
