The East Coast Haunters Convention is TransWorld’s newest Halloween trade show event. Much like its sister convention, the Midwest Haunters Convention, this show features a pre-con bus tour, educational sessions, expo floor, party, and more. East Coast Haunters Convention is open to the public and is dedicated to all things Halloween! Welcoming home/pro haunters, actors, enthusiasts, and anyone who loves to celebrate Halloween!
Days of the Dead is the fan convention where horror comes to play! The event’s primary goal is to create a welcoming genre convention that brings together like-minded friends and fans for a full convention experience. The event is known for its impressive celebrity guest roster and high-quality horror collectible vendors.
Get ready for a fully immersive experience as Screamfest’s Fears & Beers screens Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter under the stars. The screening will take place on Saturday, June 24th, 2023 at 8:30 p.m. at the McGroarty Arts Center in Tujunga, CA.

Additionally, Sarah’s Sammiches * Salads * Sides food truck will have some delicious menu items. Popcord, sodas, and more will be available at the concessions stand.
Prior to the main feature, Screamfest has another trick (or perhaps treat) up its sleeve – a special screening of the horror short, The Eyes. Directed by Screamfest alumni and local Tujunga filmmaker, Mike Timm, The Eyes premiered to rave reviews at Screamfest 2022. Delve into a world where nothing goes unseen as the eyes of karma haunts one man’s wrong choices in this unforgettable 80s camp creature thriller. It is the perfect pairing to the feature!
Haven’t seen this flick before? Brush up on the series for backstory on the lore and then get ready for “The Final Chapter”:
After the Crystal Lake Massacres, Jason is pronounced dead and taken to the hospital morgue, where he is mysteriously revived, allowing his diabolical killing spree to continue at the camp where the gruesome slaughtering began. But this time, in addition to terrified teenagers, he meets a young boy named Tommy Jarvis who has a special talent for horror masks and make up, leading up to a horrifying, bloody battle that will keep you on the edge of your seat! Has the diabolical Jason finally met his match? revives and embarks on a killing spree as he makes his way back to his home at Camp Crystal Lake.
Check in and food sales begin at 7:00 p.m. The movie starts at 8:30 p.m. No one under 17 will be admitted without a parent of guardian.
The McGroarty Arts Center is located at 7570 McGroarty Terrace, Tujunga, CA 91042.
