Diego, offering all the fear of a typical Halloween event, along with the thrilling rides and high-quality
entertainment of a theme park. What can you expect during Howl-O-Scream?
Horrifying Haunted Houses:
Nightmare Experiment – A government medical experiment at a run-of-the-mill sleep clinic has
gone horribly wrong, descending into utter chaos. The patients have given into their worst
nightmares and have driven the staff to the brink of madness. Guests fight for their life and
sanity as they rush to escape the clinic, dodging unruly patients along the way.
Simon’s Slaughterhouse – The local meat processing plant has fallen into the hands of the
demented Simon the Butcher and his crew. Guests navigate their way through bloody corridors,
meat-hooked mortals, and screeching buzz saws to avoid the butcher’s blades.
Death Water Bayou – The stifling heat and dank humidity permeates the air and beckons
visitors deeper into Death Water Bayou. Guests wander amid gravestones, voodoo dolls, and the
spirits of prior mortals who couldn’t escape the Bayou Witch’s house of cursed horrors.
Scare Zones
Scare seekers and daring visitors are forced to face their worst fears when stepping into any of Howl-OScream’s six different scare zones. Each one is based on classic haunt genres and will provide
unexpected surprises around every turn. The unforeseen scare zones include killer clowns and snakes at
First Fright zone, creepy dolls at the Deadly Toys zone, undead evils at the Graveyard zone, a deadly
legend at La Llorona zone, alluring yet terrifying callings at The Sirens zone, and lastly sinister monsters
that lurk in the forest at The Hauntings zone.
Vampire Circus Show
Populated by a motley collection of off-the-wall characters and incomparable acrobats, The Vampire
Circus is a performance set in a twisted fantasy universe where chaos and craziness give way to a
haunted celebration. Guests are immersed in a spirited journey through an abandoned cemetery where
an extraordinary circus comes back to life. The suspenseful entertainment captivates audiences and is
spread throughout the night with a selection of showtimes for attendees to choose from.
While Howl-O-Scream is intended for mature audiences, families can still enjoy Halloween at SeaWorld
with the park’s beloved Spooktacular event taking place during the day featuring trick-or-treating,
costume parades, a hay maze, and the return of the Spooktacular Pumpkin Hunt.
