SCARE LA, the 3-year old convention in Los Angeles catering to the Horror/Halloween industry and all its rabid fans went off this past weekend proving once again that Halloween is a cosplayer’s high holy day. Weighted heavily toward prosthetic makeup artists, attendees saw models undergo hours upon hours of grueling makeup work. But the results were out of this world (or, more precisely, part of this world’s darkest corners).

But cosplay was just part of the fun. Attendees took part in half-a-dozen mini haunted houses/mazes, lots of high-profile panels, and a class schedule right out of Hogwarts (such as Ghost Hunting 101, The Art of Terror, and DIY Fog Chillers).
The convention floor was like Comic-Con of the Dead: Take your photo with a lovely maiden from a Haunted Renaissance Faire (coming soon!). Sign up to tour one of the L.A’s most famously haunted houses. Buy magnets and lunch boxes from your favorite films (we got Lost Boys, Pyscho, and JAWS!). See all the latest fog machine technology. Experience a virtual reality séance. Or just buy your own light-up plastic head with brain exposed. It was great!
The main-stage marquee events really brought the crowds, though, from Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights (see our separate article), to Knott’s Scary Farm (with surprise guest Elvira!), to a behind-the-scenes peak and Q&A with the makers of this October’s upcoming horror film “Tales of Halloween.”
But, of course, the rock stars of the weekend were the cosplayers, especially those who sat for hours, becoming the canvases of skilled master makeup artists. Check out our photos here. It’s a great new convention to get you in the Halloween Spirit!
