SeaWorld begins Howl-O-Scream haunted house reveals

[Disney4me]

SeaWorld Orlando has revealed two of the five haunted houses slated for this year’s Howl-O-Scream event. One of them is new content, and the other is a returning theme. It’s also posted two returning scare zones.

The new house is called The Collector’s Curse, which involves an estate hosted by the title character. The Collector “lures guests with rare relics and ancient artifacts,” SeaWorld says. But there’s also “a twisted underworld of cursed creations and monstrous mutations.”

The returning house is Farm 51, which again features a rural home “with the terrifying aftermath of an extraterrestrail encounter.”

The returning scare zones indentified so far are Blood Light District (keywords: seductive shadows, tempation, vampires) and Cannibal Harbor (decaying port, haunted docks, fishermen who hunt the living).  Howl-O-Scream will have six scare zones this year, and four of them will carry new themes, SeaWorld says. There will also be a pair of roaming hordes, five themed bars, live entertainment and “never-before-seen surprises,” according to the Howl-O-Scream website.

The after-hours/extra-ticket event will be held 28 nights between Sept. 6 and Nov. 1.  The park is selling single-night Howl-O-Scream tickets, unlimited-admission passes, front-of-line tickets and bundles, including one that throws in admission to the Howl-O-Scream event at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, SeaWorld’s sister park.

It will be the fifth year that SeaWorld Orlando has held a fright fest for “mature audiences.”  The park continues its kid-friendly daylight Halloween programming called Spooktacular, which is included with regular theme park admission beginning Aug. 30.
