Screen printed by Brooklyn artist Maya McCarthy, this handsome tote boasts an image from George Wither’s 1635 “A collection of emblemes, ancient and moderne”. The text surrounding the image reads “memento mori,” or, remember you will die. Memento mori also refers to objects, artworks or texts created to encourage one to contemplate their own mortality with that idea that doing so spurs us to lead better lives.

Midsummer Scream Announces New Dates for 2022
MIDSUMMER SCREAM ANNOUNCES NEW DATES FOR 2022 AND INTRODUCES ALL-NEW HOLIDAY SEASON EVENT
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and related circumstances beyond our control, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel our event scheduled for this July. The new dates for Midsummer Scream’s return are July 29-31, 2022 at the Long Beach Convention Center, where the event will be more thrilling and better than ever!
Now for some great news: as Southern California opens back up for live events, Midsummer Scream is preparing a few tricks and treats, culminating in the largest Season’s Screamings event we’ve ever produced, December 17-19, 2021 at the Pasadena Convention Center. This holiday themed horror convention will include frightfully delightful vendors and artisans, live entertainment, and a darkened hall filled with fog, haunted attractions, displays, and perhaps a visit from Krampus himself (as long as you’ve been naughty enough).
Those holding Midsummer Scream 2021 tickets are encouraged to hang on to them; they will automatically roll over and are valid for our 5th Anniversary celebration in 2022 at no additional cost. We do understand that times are tough; if you need a ticketing refund, please visit midsummerscream.org/refundrequest – please note that Midsummer Scream tickets are non-transferable to any other event; they may only be used for Midsummer Scream 2022.
Tickets for Season’s Screamings and Midsummer Scream 2022 will go on sale in the months ahead.
For the latest news and information from Midsummer Scream, make sure you’ve signed up online for our newsletter and are following our social media platforms on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
In the Blood by Miranda Luna
The trick is to hide in plain sight…
In the decaying warehouse performance spaces and dimly lit nightclubs of San Francisco, a predator perfects his rituals of blood and torture, creating vast landscapes of nihilistic hedonism for jaded aesthetes. In the Tenderloin, in a haze of heroin and loss, horror novelist Zoe Starr tries to reassemble the shattered pieces of her life, gradually alienating everybody she has come to trust. Their love is unspoken, and together they will become their own legend. A shared lust for blood begets a nightmare world of post-modern sacrifice, perversion, redemption and slow-decay.

Gothic Charm School gingerbread bats!
Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes (the cookies should look slightly glossy, and feel slightly soft if you touch them – do not burn yourself!), then take them off the cookie sheets and let them cool. (On a wire rack, if you have such a thing. If not, setting them on some paper towels works just as well.). GET THE RECIPE!
