Midsummer Scream (The “Comic-Con of Halloween & Horror”) kicks off on July 28 at the Long Beach Convention Center, with an expected crowd of 50,000 Halloween enthusiasts. Skeleton Sam, from Hocus Pocus 2, along with his eerie ensemble, LVCRFT, brings this year's insanely catchy theme song "Scream! (For Halloween)", a bangin’ spookycore duet with The Remains (of DBone and The Remains). You can hear it now on the official “Midsummer Scream For Halloween Slaylist”, featuring more songs from this year's guests and panelists.
You can find Skeleton Sam at Mid Summer Scream this weekend dancing at the Paranormal Pixie’s Pumpkin Patch and featured in the Poltergeists and Paramours X LVCRFT Fashion Show Saturday July 29 and Sunday July 30 at the Showfloor Stage.

LVCRFT is the sinister spawn of spooky-obsessed hitmakers, united to create a year-round supply of hook-filled creepy pop bops that will keep bones tapping well beyond Halloween. LVCRFT is the brainchild of the multi-faceted trio - Evan “Kidd” Bogart, songwriter/creative executive responsible for Beyonce’s GRAMMY Award winning “Halo” and Rhianna’s worldwide #1 “SOS” - Amanda “MNDR” Warner, the Electro-Pop pioneer who brought us Mark Ronson’s hit “Bang Bang Bang” and Flume’s “Like Water” - GRAMMY Award winning producer, engineer and songwriter Peter Wade whose credits include Jennifer Lopez, Martin Solveig, and Flume. While LVCRFT maintains anonymity with spooky pseudonyms like Lil Punkin, DeepKutz, Norman Crates, Scary Ana Grande to name a few, their ‘day jobs’ have seen them concoct iconic records for Katy Perry, Dua Lipa, Madonna, Lizzo, Charli XCX, Mariah Carey, Amy Winehouse, Kylie Minogue, and countless others and have collectively amassed billions and billions of streams.
