This fall nightmares return bigger than ever as SeaWorld Orlando unleashes its largest and most immersive Howl-O-Scream yet. Featuring five terrifying haunted houses, including the park's first-ever movie-inspired house based on Sony Pictures' iconic horror franchise I Know What You Did Last Summer, along with six immersive scare zones, five sinister themed bars, pulse-pounding live entertainment and four exhilarating rides in the dark, Howl-O-Scream 2026 delivers an unforgettable night of fear unlike anything guests have experienced before.
Making its chilling debut this year is "I
Know What You Did Last Summer: The Final Catch," marking the first time a
movie-inspired haunted house has been featured at SeaWorld Orlando's
Howl-O-Scream. Inspired by Sony Pictures’ iconic 1997 horror film, the house
transports guests to the infamous Southport Massacre, where they will relive
unforgettable moments from the movie while desperately attempting to escape the
relentless Fisherman.
But the terror doesn't stop there.
Named one of the Top Theme Park Halloween
Events by USA TODAY's 10Best Readers' Choice, Howl-O-Scream returns on select
nights September 11 through October 31. The separately ticketed nighttime event
is intended for mature audiences.
Five Terrifying Haunted Houses
Fear
begins the moment guests step beyond the gates.
Technology becomes the ultimate predator
inside "Dark Net." Amid a global energy crisis, cyborgs have turned
to vampirism to survive in the seedy underbelly of a futuristic city. As humans
become caught in the crossfire between machine and monster, guests must
navigate a cyberpunk nightmare where black oil flows like blood and predators
can no longer distinguish between flesh and metal.
The ordinary becomes terrifying inside
"Everything Must Stay." For years, one suburban home has remained unsold as every open house ends the same
way—with terrified buyers fleeing from unexplained horrors. Now those unseen
forces finally reveal themselves, trapping guests inside the property's most
terrifying showing yet.
The party never dies inside "Raveyard."
What began as the ultimate underground rave has become an eternal celebration
for the undead, where pounding music echoes through the darkness and newly
resurrected partygoers dance long after death itself.
Curiosity leads guests beneath the city in
"Crawlspace," where a recently sealed-off sewer system conceals
evidence of a failed containment effort. As something deep below continues to
grow larger and hungrier with every passing moment, escaping the tunnels may no
longer be possible.
Six Immersive Scare Zones
The horror doesn't end when guests leave the haunted houses. Terror
spills into the streets as six immersive scare zones transform every corner of
the park into a world overrun by decay, infestation and toxicity, where danger
lurks around every turn and no path leads to safety.
"Nekrosis" is where the biggest
party of the '90s came to a horrifying end. When the clock struck midnight on
January 1, 2000, this once-thriving seaside town was forever changed by an
infectious mystery that left its residents frozen in time. Now, zombies roam
among abandoned video stores, forgotten technology and relics of the decade,
proving some eras refuse to stay dead.
Love takes a toxic turn inside "Just One
More Chapter." Inspired by modern dark romance, this hauntingly beautiful
scare zone invites guests into an enchanted garden where cursed lovers,
mysterious antiheroes and dangerously alluring creatures tempt visitors deeper
into a story where every great romance begins with a terrible decision. Beneath
the beauty lies obsession, betrayal and heartbreak waiting around every corner.
Returning fan favorite "Woodrot
Hollow" invites guests back into a forest consumed by decay, where twisted
trees, rotting foliage and ancient woodland creatures have reclaimed the
wilderness. Every winding path leads deeper into a landscape overtaken by
corruption.
Returning fan favorite "Trailer Park
Tragedy" delivers its signature blend of horror and dark humor as guests
wander into a rundown trailer park where suspicious residents fiercely defend
their forgotten neighborhood. Behind every rusted camper and flickering porch
light waits another unsettling surprise.
Civilization crumbles inside "Dooms
District," where the apocalypse has finally arrived but no one can agree
how the world ends. As conspiracy theorists, survivalists and doomsday preppers
compete for new recruits, guests must decide who to trust while navigating a
town in complete collapse. In a world where every theory could be true, survival
is anything but guaranteed.
The infestation reaches its breaking point
inside "Extermination Order." Swarms of horrifying insects have taken
over, forcing exterminators into an all-out battle against an invasion that has
already spiraled beyond control. As creatures crawl through every corner of the
zone, guests quickly discover they may have arrived far too late to stop what's
spreading.
Five All-New Themed Bars and
Sinister Sips
No night of terror is
complete without raising a glass to the darkness. This year, Howl-O-Scream
introduces five all-new immersive themed bars, each
designed to extend the story beyond the haunted houses and into unforgettable
nightlife experiences.
Step back into the decade
that refuses to die at "The Rewind," where VHS tapes,
dial-up internet and '90s nostalgia set the stage for a killer throwback party.
Inside "Byte
Bar," technology has evolved into something far more
sinister. Inspired by "Dark Net," this cyberpunk
hideaway serves futuristic cocktails in a neon-soaked world where machines have
developed a thirst for more than just power.
The music never stops inside
"Resurrection Club," where guests can dance alongside the undead in
an electrifying afterlife celebration that keeps the party alive long after
death.
Those preparing for
civilization's collapse can seek refuge inside "The Black Sheep,"
where doomsday preppers gather over themed cocktails while swapping survival
strategies for whatever apocalypse may come next.
Meanwhile, the unsettling "Larva
Lounge" invites brave guests to indulge in creepy-crawly
concoctions inspired by the infestation spreading throughout the park, because
every great extermination deserves a drink afterward.
Frightfully Delicious Food
Guests can fuel their screams with an all-new lineup of frightfully delicious
food and beverages found throughout the event.
New
for 2026,
Howl-O-Scream serves up a fresh menu of twisted culinary creations, including
the Tripleta Sandwich
layered with roasted pork, ham and steak, Eggo Massacre (crispy chicken and waffles
drizzled with maple chili syrup), the indulgent Highway Havoc Bacon Mac & Cheese Dog,
Beef Birria Ramen,
Philly Cheese
"Stake," and the devilishly sweet Bloody Cookie. An
extensive lineup of specialty cocktails crafted exclusively for Howl-O-Scream
adds even more flavor to the night.
Signature sips like "Midnight Marigold,"
"Mutation Serum," "Radiation Exposure," "Emergency
Beacon," "Roadkill Wreckage," "Static on Channel 7,"
and "Grito de la
Muerte" pair bold flavors with immersive theming, while
seasonal brews and themed mocktails offer something for every monster in the
making.
Whether guests are craving
terrifying comfort food or raising a toast before their next scream, every bite
and sip is designed to become part of the night's unforgettable experience.
Two
Electrifying Live Shows Return to the Night
The screams continue long after guests leave the haunted houses.
Returning to ignite the night
is "Throttle," where high-octane action, breathtaking stunts and
explosive energy collide in a pulse-pounding spectacle unlike anything else at
the event. This year's production also introduces an all-new character whose
arrival adds an unexpected twist to the story.
Guests can also experience
the fan-favorite "Monster Stomp," the electrifying live show that
blends heart-pounding percussion, rock music and unforgettable monsters into
one of Howl-O-Scream's signature nighttime traditions.
