Midsummer Scream 2025 Recap

In this episode, Bonnie and Samantha take their boo-tys down to the world’s largest Halloween and Horror convention, Midsummer Scream, in Long Beach, California. We interview Colin Krawchuk, the writer and director of the upcoming “The Jester 2”, catch up with some of our horror community members around the con, get an exclusive sneak peek at upcoming haunts from Thirteenth Floor Entertainment, spend a chilling night on the Queen Mary, and share a special Horror Nerd Comedy performance of The Annabelle Sessions, performed by Samantha as the demon doll we all love (sorry, M3GAN).

Special thanks to Colin Krawchuk, Alex Cordova, Jimmy Purcell, Thirteenth Floor Entertainment, Kathryn Horan, AJ Danna, Marco from Lionsgate, Julian Fernandez, Barry Under Your Bed, the staff of the Queen Mary, The Procko Group, and Midsummer Scream.
