Busch Gardens® Howl-O-Scream® returns with a twisted new game and an evil host, beginning on Friday, September 9, 2022.
In this ghoulish game show, every guest is a contestant, led to their destiny by the master of scare-monies. Your fate awaits with five haunted houses, five terror-tories™, four sinister shows, two party zones and unsuspecting scares awaiting their victims at every turn.
Beyond the haunts, guests can take horror to new heights with nighttime rides on eight world-class coasters, including the all-new Pantheon. This year’s event takes screams to the extreme with three NEW haunted houses and three NEW terror-tories, complete with six menacing BOOze bars and bites to fuel the fear and tackle the night’s frights.
The scares and haunts of Howl-O-Scream® begin at 6:00 PM.
Parental discretion is advised after 6PM, as this event contains amplified scares that are not recommended for children.
