The Scream Queen Competition is one of CreepyCon’s most thrilling and hilarious live contests. Participants take the stage and let out their most terrifying, over-the-top scream in front of a live audience. It’s not just about volume—judges also consider creativity, performance, and crowd reaction. Open to all ages and genders, this contest celebrates horror fans who know how to bring the drama. Winners take home cash and creepy prizes!
Wheel of Misfortune
Main Stage
Pre-registration required. 18+ to participate.
Think you’ve got nerves of steel and brains to match? Step right up and take a spin on the Wheel of Misfortune, a rapid-fire horror game show where anything can happen. From creepy trivia and cursed spelling bees to riddles, improv, and the dreaded Mystery Box of Doom, every spin brings a new terror. Players will face off, completing challenges pulled straight from the twisted minds behind CreepyCon. The last standing contestant will win prizes… and the audience’s applause.
Games range from solo survival tasks to competitive challenges. Audience reaction helps determine who stays and who gets the axe. Only one can survive. Will it be you?
How it works: All participants must pre-register online or in person prior to the game. This is a Price Is Right-style setup—everyone registers, then joins the audience until (maybe) their name is called. Contestants are selected at random. You may or may not be chosen to play, but the wheel is always watching.
Sign up now—spots are limited …and the wheel waits for no one.
