Why Horror Fans Are Dressing Up Year-Round
With horror culture booming, fans find more excuses to dress up outside of October. Events like Texas Frightmare Weekend, Monsterpalooza, and Midsummer Scream bring out thousands of horror lovers in full costume during peak summer heat. Haunted attractions are opening earlier, and cosplay creators stay active on social media all year.
That means horror masks must look terrifying and perform well under pressure, especially when worn for hours in packed venues.
