Whether you’re a first-time pop culture convention attendee, a traveling convention enthusiast with a decade of experience under your belt, or even a guest of the convention itself, there is one thing that every badge holder will have in common - we will all be dealing with the crowds. Here’s how we made the most of a busy Saturday at Fan Expo Philadelphia 2026!
2026 marked another successful year for LeftField Media’s annual Awesome Con event, bringing celebrities, artists, cosplayers, craftsmen and charitable organizations together for a three-day exhibition throughout the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington D.C.
The Orlando Informer Meetup has carved out a reputation as one of the most efficient ways to experience the original Universal Orlando Resort theme parks, pairing limited-capacity attendance with after-hours access to Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure. Guests are able to enjoy more than thirty unique attractions across the two participating properties, and will likely struggle to do it all!
The Efteling is generally known as a family-friendly theme park in the Netherlands, but a handful of the Efteling’s attractions offer a more thrilling ride experience. As of early 2026, thrill-seekers and coaster enthusiasts can claim eight unique ‘coaster credits’ across the park, and we’re ranking all eight of them based on our own ride experiences!
After visiting the Efteling in Kaatsheuvel (Netherlands) in the summer of 2023, we were quick to fall in love with this charming Dutch theme park. But as the temperatures drop and the sky clouds over, will the winter experience be able to hold a candle to the summer experience? We made a glorious return to the Efteling this past November with the goal of answering that very question.
The beauty of the vampire is its ability to be whatever the narrative requires it to be, from the object of someone’s obsession to a monstrous beast. So when we were invited to scare act for the annual Valentine’s Day event at Laurel’s House of Horror, “Love is Blind”, the mandate was clear - and a brand-new haunt character was born.
A’DAM LOOKOUT delivers sweeping skyline views, a record-breaking swing and reliably delicious food in the heart of Amsterdam. Here’s why we think this towering tourist attraction is worth a visit during your next trip to the Netherlands!
The Efteling offers several different kinds of hotel and resort accommodations for the overnight guest, so what is it that makes the Efteling Bosrijk such a popular stay? Cozy cabins, rustic theming, great food and a storybook sense of place make Bosrijk far more magical than its price point suggests.
2025’s “Krampus Nightmare” event marked the debut of Holly Hexen, Katie’s first fully original haunt character at Laurel’s House of Horror. A lot goes into building a character from scratch, and going from concept to costume distressing to makeup is a laborious process, especially if you’ve never done it before. So, how did it happen…and what did we learn from it?
Feeling displaced as a Halloween enthusiast? Tired of the merry, missing the scary? Looking for an atypical way to celebrate the holiday season? If your answer to any of these questions is ‘yes’, then you’re likely to be the target audience of the holiday haunt…and we’ve got two holiday haunt experiences that you won’t want to miss!
Markoff’s Haunted Forest is renowned for the legendary degree of immersion that the haunted attraction offers during the month of October, but after decades of delivering a world-class haunt experience, Nick and Mary Markoff felt that something was missing. Mere months later, Markoff’s Christmas Farm was born.
Every winter for the past fourteen years, the historic city of Amsterdam has been transformed into an open-air art gallery. The Amsterdam Light Festival commissions installations from a diverse group of artists from around the world, which then go to become public displays throughout the city during the event - and when the sun sets, these exhibits come to life with stunning lights, projections, colors and reflections.
Planning a trip to Cologne? We recently spent a day in one of German’s largest and best-known cities, and with dozens of attractions and cultural touchpoints like Kölner Dom, Rhine River cruises, fragrance history, and a chocolate museum with functional production lines, there is no shortage of things to do during your visit!
Dark Acres is proof that passion can turn even the smallest haunted attraction into something truly extraordinary. What began as a small home attraction in upstate New York has evolved into a major production with pro-level sets, effects and scares. After thirteen years of scaring people on his front yard, its owner is now looking to take his “home haunt” pro.
Class is back in session at the Final Bell Haunted Schoolhouse. Step inside Maryland’s newest haunted attraction, built inside the shell of a former high school in Carroll County, and face sinister staff, detention and prom night all in one go at one of the most ambitious first-year haunts that the industry has ever seen!
Following a breakout debut in 2024, Hera’s Nightmare returned to the TownMall of Westminster bigger and bolder for its second season. Now spanning 27,000 square feet and offering new mazes, immersive sets and expanded midway attractions, this award-winning haunt is quickly cementing itself as a Maryland must-do!
Lincoln Mill Haunted House returns for another chilling season in Manayunk, weaving story and scares into one of Pennsylvania’s most immersive haunted attractions. With its eerie 1930’s lore, masterful design and actor-driven storytelling, this riverside haunt proves once again why it’s “actually scary.”
DarkWood Manor is celebrating twenty-five years of haunting Luray, by going back to its roots! This season's theme, Mother Grimwood's Appalachian Horror Stories, builds on the folklore of the Shenandoah Valley, offering an intimate, handcrafted scare experience unlike anything else in Virginia state.
After years of doing the same shoots over and over again, Laurel’s House of Horror invited us to hand over creative control to their team of ghouls and goblins and we leapt at the chance to do something a little different. What began as a wild experiment in narrative filmmaking became one of our most chaotic, hilarious and unforgettable haunt collaborations yet!
Venture 10 miles beyond the bustling city streets of Pittsburgh and into the rolling hills of Bethel Park, and you may just stumble upon a strange castle in the heart of the woods. This past September, we made our way to this castle and walked the winding path through Hundred Acres Manor - one of Pittburgh’s top-rated haunted attractions - for the very first time.
