Well, the folks at Scare LA are making some interesting changes to the 2015 show. Ones that attendees, vendors and fans will definitely love at that. In a press release issued back on Friday, they announced that this year's Scare LA, on August 8th & 9th, will be moving to the Pasadena Convention Center.
Not only does this give the show a ton more room for the dealers/vendor floor area but also should make things a lot easier for guests to get around the event as well. According to Lora Ivanova, ScareLA Executive Producer and Co-founder;
"What that means for our fans is: more spooky vendors, easier access to classes and stage content, bigger interactive haunt exhibits and hotels within walking distance for anyone coming from out of town or wishing to make this a true mid-summer Halloween staycation. Our team is busy curating our 2015 programming and cannot wait to share our scary passion with Los Angeles this August!"This also means that they'll have larger stages and rooms for the presentations from places like Universal Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights, Knott's Scary Farm and other big attractions in the California and Western US area too. Never a bad thing when you can get more people and more stuff going on for those at all!
Overall, the changes sound great and definitely will be keeping an eye out for any more news coming out of the Scare LA crew for this year's event!

Debuting in 2013, ScareLA was created to celebrate the rich Southern California Halloween industry and community, from its iconic seasonal theme park events, to stand-alone haunted attractions and even home haunts.

Attracting nearly 4,000 guests in 2013, and more than 6,000 in 2014, ScareLA has become one of the fastest growing independent conventions in the U.S. to-date.
"We're very excited by ScareLA's rapid growth, and the Pasadena Convention Center allows us to provide room for more guests, more exhibitors, larger displays, and bigger monsters,” says ScareLA Executive Producer and Co-Founder David Markland.
Featuring multiple parking lots, hotels, convenient public transportation, and fantastic dining options all within walking distance, the Pasadena Convention Center makes attending ScareLA easier than ever before.
The 2015 ScareLA program will take advantage of the new venue’s larger stages to host exclusive presentations from fan favorites such as Knott’s Scary Farm, Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights, Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor, Six Flags Magic Mountain’s Fright Fest and more!
Guests returning to ScareLA will find a larger show floor with more Halloween/horror vendors, expanded classroom and workshop spaces, and a wide variety of live entertainment and immersive “mini haunt” experiences.
