Midsummer Scream To Feature “SAW” Franchise Experience And First Look At “SAW X”

One of the most iconic horror film series comes to Midsummer Scream for the first time ever this year, as Lionsgate brings SAW to the world’s biggest horror convention.

On the floor of the Long Beach Convention Center, an incredible SAW experience invites Midsummer Scream guests to explore the horrific, unnerving, and unforgettable world of the SAW movies. It’s open to guests for all three days of the event.


And on Saturday, July 29, special guests who helped bring SAW to the screen will take part in a panel presentation that offers exclusive mind-bending glimpses into the upcoming film SAW X, coming to movie theaters this October from Lionsgate.

Horror fans won’t want to miss out on the opportunity to explore the past, present, and future of SAW…only at Midsummer Scream, which will be held July 28-30 at the Long Beach Convention Center.

One-day and weekend passes, as well as Gold Bat VIP passes, are now on sale at MidsummerScream.org.
