High-intensity fan convention brings the original “Ghostface” trio to downtown’s Plaza Hotel…
The countdown to scary season began last week with Jason Egan’s “Halfway to Halloween” event at Escape IT. Fans of fantasy and horror will hit Rio Hotel Casino for STLV: Trek to Las Vegas during the first week of August. And now comes word of a SCREAM-tastic gathering for fans of Wes Craven‘s hit franchise.
A NIGHT OF SCREAMS will be held at the downtown Plaza Hotel on August 30th. The one-day convention and marketplace is presented by “Spooky Baby Events” and its creator, April Metcalf. Originally scheduled for earlier this year, A NIGHT OF SCREAMS was postponed to allow for expansion of the concept.
Join us for “A Night of SCREAMS, featuring all three Ghostfaces from the original SCREAM Trilogy! This unique event features Lee Waddell, Allen Robinson, and Jeff Brockton from SCREAM, SCREAM 2, and SCREAM 3. No other event has ever gathered all three together in the same room, and it is gonna be a blast! Each will be sharing clips and stories of their favorite scenes.
This is NOT a typical setting for this type of event! A Night of Screams is an all-inclusive private event with VERY limited tickets. There will be no long lines, and plenty of time to take your questions. Guests will share personal stories from the set with Wes Craven and stars of the SCREAM franchise.

In addition to long lines, the costs at a fan convention can add up quickly. Celebrity guests normally charge for everything beyond an initial “hello”. 8 x 10 headshots, autographs, phone selfies, and similar interactions always involve a fee. A Night of Screams is different.

For many, the vendor area is the greatest part of a fan convention. Clothing, collectibles, memorabilia, and other merchandise that you may not find anywhere else…and that’s what the Slasher Market is about. Let’s take a look:
Step into the shadows of the Plaza Hotel & Casino for the first-ever Slasher Market – Las Vegas, a full-day celebration of horror, art, and all things spooky! This immersive marketplace brings together a curated collection of horror vendors, dark artists, and eerie creators offering everything from handmade goods and collectibles to creepy crafts and killer apparel.
Expect creepy good entertainment throughout the day, including live performances, a knife juggler, themed photo-ops, and interactive activities for horror fans of all ages. The night wraps with our exclusive after-hours event, A Night of Screams. Starting at 7 pm, it’s a chilling experience you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re a vendor, artist, or fan of the macabre, Slasher Market is your destination for fear, fun, and unforgettable finds in the heart of Las Vegas.
Slasher Market opens at 10 am on August 30th. Admission is $25 plus a 63-cent service fee. Order your tickets here. Take note that Slasher Market does NOT grant you access to that evening’s A NIGHT OF SCREAMS. But an admission to A NIGHT OF SCREAMS is a combo ticket for both! Get yours ($125 plus $3.13 service fee) via this link.
Plaza Hotel & Casino is located at the intersection of Fremont Street and Main Street in downtown Las Vegas.
