Scaring select evenings September 8 – October 31, Howl-O-Scream Orlando promises new haunted houses, terrifying scare zones, mystifying sirens, and thrilling, nighttime roller coaster rides. Earlier today, SeaWorld Orlando released a statement detailing all the new and returning screams coming to this year’s Halloween event. Let’s dive in!
Five Haunted Houses
The centerpiece of any spooky event, Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2023 will include five, highly-themed and story-driven haunted houses.
All haunted house descriptions are from the event’s website:
D3LERUM666 Laboratories (NEW!)
Explore D3LER1UM666 Lab, a government-established mercenary HQ established to counter the threat posed by the Sirens. Tour the facility and help support the cause. What could possibly go wrong?
Dead Vines: Nawlins Nightmare (NEW!)
Feet don’t fail you now! You’re trespassing on her land and it’s going to take some Nawlin’s magic to get you through this one. Keep your head up and eyes open! You don’t want to miss this! In the end you might get beaded… or you might be-dead.
Beneath the Ice: The Meltdown (NEW!)
You’re about to witness the hottest rescue attempt ever made. The ice siren has been captured and her fiery sister has arrived just in time to release a blazing wrath and save her twin.
Captain’s Revenge: Drowned in Darkness
A ship on an endless journey sails by Darkness. You can seek the horizon, but you’ll never reach it. She has a hold of this vessel now, and you might have just boarded the last cruise you’ll ever take.
Blood Beckoning
Scratch’s strength is weakening and she’s out for blood. No one is safe and what Scratch wants, Scratch gets. Her beauty comes at a price…will you pay it?
Seven Scare Zones
You survived the houses, but will you escape the monsters roaming SeaWorld’s streets? This year, guests can scream their way through seven terrifying, outdoor scare zones.
All scare zone descriptions are from the event’s website:
Blood Light District (NEW!)
Those who walk the streets of this borough will tempt your deepest desires. You can fight their beckoning, but you will not win. Do not be fooled by their beauty and lust. Stay too long and you will be forever bound by blood.
Toxic Turmoil (NEW!)
A toxic catastrophe has caused this hidden chemical landfill to be overcome by mutated creatures, humans, and plant life. Your only chance is to make it to the exit at the other end of the yard. Be careful where you step, not everything is as it seems.
CarnEvil Pier (NEW!)
The freaks, sinister Barkers, and demented clowns that inhabit the Carn-Evil Pier welcome you to stay a while. Have a drink and a snack. You can even try your luck at the games… but beware, if you lose, your soul belongs to the pier.
Portal of Passage (NEW!)
Welcome to Portal of Passage. We invite you to meet some of Howl-O Scream’s most devious inhabitants. Have a drink, catch a performance, and enjoy the atmosphere while you wait for the night to begin. The gates will be opening soon, will you be a spectator, a participant, or a victim?
Frozen Terror – Alive in the Ice
The brutal Arctic conditions are the least of your worries. These will be the most persistent zombies you’ll ever meet. Not even the frozen Arctic wasteland can wipe these creatures, so remember that before entering this zone.
Witchcraft Bayou
It’s hazardous to pass through this backwater bayou, but there’s no way around. Voodoo and witchcraft aren’t real, right? Stay alert, or the dark magic will drag you down.
Terrors of the Deep
Out of the dark depths you will encounter a beautiful sunken village filled with remnants and treasures from the surface. These treasures have been claimed by a cursed Pirate crew that will give No Quarter to scallywags and landlubbers.
Live Shows
If you’re tired of flinching with fear, have a seat and enjoy three exciting shows!
All show descriptions are from the event’s website:
Cursed Lagoon (NEW!)
What’s lurking beneath the surface? See for yourself…if you dare. Located in Forever Pearls.
Siren’s Song
Who’s behind all these ominous occurrences? Here’s your chance to find out…if you have the courage to face her, and all the others she’s summoned to help her carry out the carnage. Prepare for special effects, hypnotic dancing, and spine-chilling savagery in this outdoor spectacle. This is the story of the sirens, and it’s not for the faint of heart.
Monster Stomp
In the misty corners of Victorian-era London, a fiend known only as Jack the Ripper walks the streets. Watch him take the stage in a way you’ve never seen before in this modern rock and rhythm spectacular. Hold onto your seat as electrifying percussion, dancing, and singing combine for a show that’s as darkly entertaining as it is exhilarating.
Themed Bars and Fearful Foods
An annual Howl-O-Scream Orlando tradition, the event will feature five themed bar experiences including returning favorites like Longshoremen Tavern and Siren’s Last Call and a brand new venue: CarnEvil Curiosities. Along with specialty cocktails and bars, guests will find frightening food offerings like the Vampire Burger, Dead Flesh, and the Ofrenda.
