As summer winds down, Halloween fanatics everywhere are itching to break out their decorations and costumes for the spookiest time of year! Luckily, ScareLA exists to get everyone in the Halloween spirit! ScareLA is the first convention of it kind, centering around Halloween and the fans who love it! There you'll find industry panels, performances, horror mazes, workshops, and live make-up demos! Here's our ScareLA 2018 recap!
We headed to ScareLA to get a head start on the Halloween season and get the inside scoop on this year's spooky trends!
Horror Decor
You know it's Halloween time when the creepy decorations pop up in your neighborhood! ScareLA was full of creepy sets and mazes where you could get inspired! While you're there you could even buy your Halloween decorations and special effects!

Scary Make-up
Make-up can make or break a horror costume. A little paint or prosthetics can turn your costume from "sorta creepy" to "absolutely terrifying'! Luckily at this convention, you've got plenty of opportunities to learn! You can watch live make-up demos as humans are transformed into monsters right in front of your eyes! Or sign up for a make-up workshop and learn to do it yourself!
