Howl-O-Scream San Diego

Five Years of Fear

San Diego's largest nighttime Halloween experience!

Marking its fifth anniversary, Howl-O-Scream is set to deliver even more thrills, chills, and unexpected frights. Howl-O-Scream transforms the once peaceful SeaWorld San Diego into a sinister, spine-chilling playground of terror. As night falls, a carnival of horrifying creatures surrounds you.

Evade FIVE angry haunts through EIGHT scare zones and FOUR vile vignettes. Seek shelter indoors, only to find you've entered a house of horrors. Quench your thirst for fear with fiendishly delicious cocktails, beer, and spirits at SIX themed bars and FIVE speakeasies. Feel the monstrous electricity of our LIVE show. Dance the night away and deepen the thrills with a nighttime coaster ride.

Above all, try to resist the eyes of evil that threaten to follow you everywhere.

Face your fears during SeaWorld San Diego's Howl-O-Scream this fall.

Howl-O-Scream is a separately ticketed nighttime event.
