Howl‑O‑Scream at Busch Gardens Williamsburg transforms into a full-on haunted playground this fall, with spooky surprises lurking at every turn. Starting at 6 PM, brave guests can explore five haunted houses, navigate six chilling scare zones, enjoy four sinister live shows, and experience the park’s 10 world-class coasters in the dark. A separately themed adult‑oriented event, Howl‑O‑Scream closes all kid areas (like Sesame Street Forest of Fun) by 5 PM, and explicit content after 6 PM means parental discretion is advised
