Because a gathering dedicated to people who like scary stories would:
 * 1) Cost a lot of money (several thousand if not millions).
 * 2) Take an enormous amount of organizational and security effort.
 * 3) We'd need legal protection in case someone is hurt.
 * 4) We'd need to advertise the con which takes even more money.
 * 5) We'd need enough people to come in order to make it worth it.
 * 6) We'd need the assistance of medics, police, and the fire chief.

All in all it's a bad idea and will never happen due to the above constraints.
