We came, we saw, and somehow we survived Silver Scream Con V! This week on 30 Screams or Less, We trade our usual horror movie reviews for a chaotic recap of Silver Scream Con 2026 in Worcester, Massachusetts.

From meeting horror legends Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn) and Linda Blair (The Exorcist) to attending panels featuring Shawnee Smith (Saw) and the hilarious cast of Super Troopers, this weekend was packed with unforgettable moments, incredible horror vendors, and plenty of questionable decisions.

Of course, it wouldn’t be 30 Screams or Less without a complete shitshow. Corey managed to split his head open before we even left, a normally hour-long drive turned into a two-and-a-half-hour nightmare, and we somehow missed the sold-out Ice Nine Kills concert. Throw in some questionable food choices, late-night horror movies, and Steve going straight from the convention to performing with The Summoned alongside BRAT, and you’ve got one hell of a weekend.

We also discuss our favorite celebrity encounters, the best convention panels, Spencer Charnas’ seemingly superhuman stamina, and why Silver Scream Con continues to be one of our favorite horror conventions in New England.

Whether you’re a die-hard Ice Nine Kills fan, a horror movie fanatic, or someone who loves a good convention disaster story, join us as we relive the horror, hilarity, and absolute chaos of Silver Scream Con V!
