ORLANDO, Fla. – SeaWorld Orlando is turning up the terror for its Halloween event with more intense and immersive experiences than ever before.
Returning for its fifth year, Howl-O-Scream 2025 promises five haunted houses, six scare zones, five themed bars, and two electrifying live shows—one of which is brand-new.

Three new houses
Among the new highlights is the all-new haunted house, “The Collector’s Curse.” Guests will step into a luxurious estate turned house of horrors, where a shadowy figure known as The Collector tempts visitors with rare artifacts and ancient relics. But beneath the estate sale lies a sinister secret that pulls guests deep into a twisted underworld of cursed creations and monstrous mutations.
Terror takes root the moment guests step into a rotting Victorian orphanage, cloaked in cobwebs and haunted whispers. Once a famed seamstress, The Black Widow now dwells in these decaying halls — her grief twisting her into a nightmarish creature. She spins her creations from silk and bone, weaving a macabre tapestry of torment. Those caught in her web may never escape the “Widow’s Nest”.
Guests’ path may lead them to the underground rave where the dead dance forever. At “The Rave Yard,” the bass reverberates through crumbling tombstones and neon-soaked mausoleums. Here, the party never ends, and neither does the nightmare — because in this realm, the dead never rest.
Returning fan favorites include the haunted house “Farm 51,” scare zones “Blood Light District” and “Cannibal Harbor,” and themed bars “Tormented” and “Carnevil Curiosities.” The popular high-energy show “Monster Stomp” also returns.
Four new scare zones
In “Ashes of the Forgotten,” guests encounter the charred remains of an abandoned scrapyard. Here, the restless Nightmare Citizens roam among twisted metal and debris, whispering from the shadows and dragging unsuspecting intruders into the soot-darkened depths.
Those who escape the scrapyard may find themselves in “Woodrot Hallow,” a fog-covered swamp where trees bleed sap like blood and the ground seeps with decay. An ancient, vengeful guardian prowls this eerie wetland, fiercely protecting its domain from anyone who strays off the path.
The terror continues at “Echoes of the Glass,” a distorted mirror maze inside an abandoned funhouse. Trapped in a kaleidoscope of madness, guests face sinister reflections and tormented souls desperate to add new faces to their fractured reality.
Just when visitors think they’ve found safety, they’ll stumble into “Trailer Park Tragedy.” This rundown community hides more than rusted trailers and flickering porch lights—it conceals rage. The territorial residents will do whatever it takes to defend their home, even if it means you never leave.
New shows
In the all-new live show, “Throttle”, Havoc and his nightmare riders tear through portals and blaze across a world where the dead don’t rest and fire never dies. Guests can also be spellbound by the heart-pounding musical showcase starring the notorious Jack the Ripper in the renowned live show, “Monster Stomp.”
Within the lurking shadows of the bar scene lies the all-new “Grave Danger Thrill Show” presented by the legendary Hellzapoppin Circus Sideshow.
This rock ‘n’ roll spectacle unleashes jaw-dropping stunts, shocking oddities, and daring feats that defy reason — including sword swallowing, glass walking, and mind-bending illusions.
New bars
Guests can fuel their fright night with sinister sips like “Poison Apple,” “Funhouse Massacre,” and “Liquid Asphalt” —available at themed bars across the park like the all-new “Scorchline,” where fire meets fear, and “The Butcher’s Block Tavern,” where every pour comes with a side of slaughter.
Fan-favorite bars return as well, including “Tormented,” “Space Gate 3,” and “CarnEvil Curiosities” — each serving a unique mix of mayhem and mixology.
Those feeling brave enough to indulge their monstrous appetite can feast on a wicked lineup of terrifyingly tasty treats, including:
- Zombie Tacos
- Dracula Inside-Out Sliders
- Nightmare Nachos
- Monster Munch Mac ‘n’ Cheese
All are available at themed food huts throughout the park.
For thrill-seekers looking for more than scares, SeaWorld’s coasters Mako, Infinity Falls, Ice Breaker, and Pipeline will operate throughout the night.
