Get ready, thrill-seekers: Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld Orlando is back for its fifth anniversary—and it promises to be bigger, bolder, and bloodier than ever before. Dubbed “5 Years of Fear,” this year’s haunting milestone will be packed with brand-new nightmares, returning legends, and sinister surprises lurking around every corner.
Whether you’ve dared the darkness before or are a first-time victim—I mean visitor—this is one scream-fest you don’t want to miss.
ALL-NEW: The Collector’s Curse
New this year is a house that sounds like it crawled straight out of your worst antique-store fever dream. The Collector’s Curse invites guests into a seemingly luxurious estate owned by a mysterious figure known only as The Collector. But beneath the surface of polished marble and velvet drapes lies a deeper, darker force.
Relics radiate dark energy. Whispers follow you down hallways. Mutated horrors birthed from ancient artifacts want out—and they’re not taking no for an answer. This house blends gothic elegance with nightmarish terror in a way Howl-O-Scream has never done before.
RETURNING: Farm 51
Back by popular demand—and still just as terrifying—is Farm 51, the alien-infested horror house that debuted with spine-chilling success. A decrepit farmhouse deep in the woods becomes ground zero for an out-of-this-world invasion. Expect eerie cornfields, flickering lights, and unsettling silence… until it’s shattered by the screeches of what landed there.
Farm 51 doesn’t just scare—it disorients. With its mix of sci-fi horror and rural dread, this house remains a fan favorite for good reason.
Scare Zones Return: Blood, Fog, and Fear in the Air
As you wander between houses, there’s no safety in the streets. Two of the most popular scare zones are making a menacing return to the fog-drenched walkways of SeaWorld Orlando:
Blood Light District (Returning Favorite)
Step into the seductive shadows of the Blood Light District, where temptation drips from every corner and danger hides behind every alluring glance. Beneath the glow of crimson lights, vampires prowl the cobblestone streets, luring victims with irresistible charm and a thirst that can’t be quenched.
In this sultry scare zone, beauty is a trap—and you’re walking straight into it.
Cannibal Harbor (Returning Favorite)
Welcome back to Cannibal Harbor, a decaying port where the fog never lifts—and neither does the hunger. Twisted by a dark curse, the fishermen here no longer haul in fish. They hunt the living.
Dare to wander these haunted docks, but be warned: in Cannibal Harbor, you’re either predator… or prey.
Why This Year Matters
Celebrating five years of frights is no small feat. Howl-O-Scream has grown from a fledgling haunt to one of Central Florida’s boldest Halloween experiences—pushing boundaries with original storylines, intense scare zones, and pulse-pounding shows.
SeaWorld promises that the 2025 edition will be their most ambitious yet, with more scares still to be revealed throughout the summer. Returning elements like roaming scare squads, themed cocktails, and eerie entertainment are expected to complement the lineup.
