Howl-O-Scream Event & Haunted Houses

Howl-O-Scream is Back for the 20th Terrifying Year

Howl-O-Scream has transformed the peaceful park you once knew into something sinister this Halloween. Nightfall has awakened hundreds of creatures roaming scare zones and lurking the halls of haunted houses. SeaWorld's Howl-O-Scream includes FREE haunted houses that are included with your park admission.

Back for the 20th Year, Howl-O-Scream returns with scarier experiences including the ALL-NEW horror-filled haunt, The Swamp at Blackwater Bayou and three NEW terror-tories!

Replenish your thirst for terror at one of our signature Halloween bars. Find ultimate thrills, as you ride coasters at night. Close the night with live entertainment by some of your favorite creepy creatures and monsters. Thrills and chills await you this October at Howl-O-Scream.

Warning: At 7 p.m., the park’s scare level increases from haunting to horrifying, which may be too intense for young children. Howl-O-Scream is not recommended for children under the age of 13 or the faint of heart. Howl-O-Scream is included with park admission.
