January 23, 2026 Matt Artz 0 Comments HallowScreamCon, Kelly Warnell

An epic new Halloween event, HallowScreamCon is coming to Las Vegas the first weekend of October 2026, and we recently sat down with the mega con’s founder and creator Kelly Warnell to discuss her vision and inspiration, what drives her, and how it is all a full circle moment for a little girl in London who once upon a time dreamed of a real Halloween celebration.

In our expansive and relaxed video conversation last week, Warnell also gives us some exclusive scoops about the event that you will hear about for the first time in this episode of the Halloween Daily Podcast, and much more.

More than just a convention, HallowScreamCon is a fully immersive fanverse—a celebration of pop culture, fandom, nostalgia, and spectacle, all set in the entertainment capital of the world at the most thrilling time of year: Halloween. But make no mistake—this is not a Halloween convention. It is a multi-genre fan experience that spans film, TV, games, anime, comics, music, fashion, beauty, stunts, live performance, tattoo and tiki culture, theatre, and more. A living, breathing world for anyone who’s ever been obsessed with characters, stories, or the worlds that bring them to life.

The debut show will run October 1–4, 2026, and is set to be one of the largest fan experiences in the world.
