To get around SeaWorld, guests will have to brave their way through seven scare zones: new additions Sea of Fear, Cargo Carnage and Terrors of the Deep and returning scare zones Cut Throat Cove, Frozen Terror – Alive in the Ice, Deadly Ambush and Witchcraft Bayou.
Nowhere is safe from fear at Howl-O-Scream, as there will also be roaming haunts: the sirens, siren minions and even some frights camouflaged in the trees and plants.
There will be five themed bar experiences to enjoy a drink: the all-new Allura’s on the Rocks, as well as Longshoremen Tavern, Tormented, Poison Grotto and Sirens’ Last Call.

If you need to get off your feet, sit back, relax and take in three shows: the all-new Lurking in the Depths: An Adventurer’s Tale, Siren’s Song and Monster Stomp.
If your idea of fear is more about heights and inversions, you can brave some of SeaWorld’s attractions in the dark including Manta, Mako, Infinity Falls and Ice Breaker.
The event has been nominated as the 2022 Best Theme Park Halloween Event by USA Today.
