The shrieks keep getting louder at Howl-O-Scream Orlando, and now there’s a new house of horrors joining the lineup. SeaWorld Orlando has just unveiled Widow’s Nest, an all-new haunted house set in the crumbling remains of a Victorian orphanage where sorrow, obsession, and silk-wrapped nightmares await.
Part of the park’s 5 Years of Fear milestone event, Widow’s Nest adds a darkly gothic layer of fear to what’s shaping up to be the event’s most ambitious and twisted year yet.
ALL-NEW HAUNTED HOUSE: Widow’s Nest
What once served as a safe haven for orphaned children has now become a twisted shrine to grief and madness. Inside the decaying halls of a Victorian orphanage, guests will encounter The Black Widow—a former seamstress driven to insanity by tragedy.
Now, she stalks the building’s cobweb-choked corridors, spinning grotesque creations from silk and bone. As you step deeper into her domain, shadows shift and whispers follow. You won’t just see her web—you’ll walk straight into it.
It’s not a question of if she’ll find you… but how long you’ll last before you become part of her masterpiece.
