Our 2023 Experience
During our first visit to Howl-O-Scream in 2023 we stayed in the park and waited at the Longshoremen Tavern for the event to open. Upon “rope drop”, we immediately walked through the Blood Light District followed by a visit to the Blood Beckoning house. After the Blood Beckoning house, we passed through Terrors of the Deep and Witchcraft Bayou before visiting Deal Vines and Captain’s Revenge.
Within the first 90 minutes of the night, we were able to hit three houses and three scare zones. So it is highly recommended that you arrive in advance and stay inside the park until Howl-O-Scream officially opens.
SeaWorld Orlando Howl-O-Scream Shows
For 2024, there are two great shows that are held throughout the park during Howl-O-Scream.

Also returning in 2024 is this musical tale of Jack the Ripper. Dancing, singing and rock percussion highlight this amazing show.
