Storm King’s John Carpenter To Appear At August’s Midsummer Scream
by Tom Smithyman
Midsummer Scream, Long Beach’s Halloween and horror convention, is about to get a lot Halloween-ier.
John Carpenter, the legendary director of Halloween, They Live, and The Thing, will bring some screams of his own to the con. Carpenter will only be at the convention on August 16th, where he will sign autographs for a fee. In addition to the autograph, fans will receive a copy of John Carpenter Presents George A. Romero’s The Amusement Park, a new graphic novel from Storm King Comics and the George A. Romero Foundation.
Sandy King, founder and editor of Storm King Comics, will also attend the con for the publisher.
“We’re thrilled to welcome horror legend John Carpenter, Sandy King, and Storm King Comics to Midsummer Scream for the first time,” said David Markland, co-founder and executive director of Midsummer Scream. “Their presence, especially with this year’s theme focused on horror comic books, is a dream pairing. John Carpenter’s appearance in support of Storm King Comics as it launches its latest graphic novel makes this an unforgettable addition to our celebration of horror in all its many forms.”
Midsummer Scream’s 2025 returns to the Long Beach Convention Center from August 15-17.
