Halloween - Howl-o-Scream Festival

Horror-filled haunted houses are back with a vengeance. New and returning favorite houses await your demise, but the scares don’t stop there.

Warning, intense content - Howl-O-Scream is intended for a mature audience.

NEW HAUNTED HOUSE!

Shadows of Wonderland

Step back into Wonderland, but not as you remember it. This warped dreamscape has come from years of torment under the Queen of Hearts' reign of terror. Once playful characters have become bitter shadows, their anger fueled by Alice's abandonment. Now, you must confront this distorted reality and face a vengeful Queen who wants Alice and you gone.

Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

Stranglewood Estate

Once a hub of lavish parties, Stranglewood Estate now echoes with the whispers of its dark past.
