After the success of its “Inaugural Fear” year in 2021, Howl-O-Scream will once again wash ashore at SeaWorld Orlando with more haunted houses, new scare zones and returning haunted experiences.  

The popular Halloween themed event will return to SeaWorld on Sept. 9 through Oct. 31 on select dates for 28 nights. 

With promises of more “pulse-pounding haunts, thrills and chills” at Howl-O-Scream 2022, Seaworld has unveiled what guest can expect at this year’s event. 

Howl-O-Scream 2022: 

Lurking in the Depths Logo
  • ALL NEW! “Lurking in the Depths” show 

Lurking in the Deep: An Adventurer’s Tale 

Tracking down sirens is no simple feat. Gather around to hear the famed explorer’s stories, from the horrific to the hilarious. 

Sea of Fear Logo
  • ALL NEW! “Sea of Fear” scare zone 

The growing dread couldn’t keep you from being lured here. You’ve finally reached their gathering place…the portal to all the terrors you’ve only heard whispers of. They’re already here, lurking in the shadows and crevices, ready to bring you into the fold. It’s time to dip your toe in the water. Just don’t expect a friendly welcome. 

Cut Throat Cove Logo
  • ALL NEW! “Cut Throat Cove” scare zone 

This is it…the site of that horrific shipwreck. Those marauding pirates were too arrogant to see their downfall coming, and now they’re doomed to wander through a sea of gruesome reminders. Their souls are restless, and their anger is real. They’ll never stop seeking revenge on those who’ve escaped their ghostly fate. Steer clear—if you can. 

Captain's Revenge Drowned in Darkness Logo
  • Re-imagined: “Captain’s Revenge – Drowned in Sorrow” house 

One man’s treasure is another man’s terror. Don’t give in to temptation…she won’t let you pillage the sea and get away with it. 

Frozen Terror Alive in the Ice Logo
  • Re-imagined: “Frozen Terror” scare zone 

You might think you’re a safe distance from the snow-entombed research facility, but you’re not free from the frozen horrors. This inhospitable Arctic wasteland is swarming with icy, subhuman walkers. They may have pickaxes and shovels, but they’re not here to help dig for survivors. They’re here to turn you into one of them. 

Longshoremen Tavern
  • Re-imagined: “Longshoremen’s Tavern” bar 

This year, there be a new tavern in port where pirates warm their bellies with flamin’ rum. You might hear tales of mythical monsters and intrepid adventurers. You might discover an old SeaWorld treasure that’s been (partially) resurrected. Take a break from the sirens and squalls and plant your weary hides here. The Longshoremen are dying to entertain you. 

  • Returning: “Beneath the Ice” house 

No one has heard from base camp since it was entombed in snow. You’re here to find survivors…but you’ll wish you hadn’t. 

Tormented Logo
  • Returning: “Tormented” bar 

This is one place where a cold frosty one is a good thing. Take refuge from the wintry terrors of the Arctic hellscape outside and do a little refueling here. If you’re feeling mischievous, you can even join in and frighten your fellow expeditioners while they’re braving the horrors beneath the ice. How’s that for refreshing?
