Heart-Pounding Frights Await in Returning Haunted Houses
Howl-O-Scream promises a more terrifying experience than ever before. Guests will venture into darkness, navigating shadowy tunnels and flickering corridors, where every step reveals chilling secrets. In Circus of the Damned, clowns with groundbreaking 3-D effects will fill rooms with frightful laughs. Nightmare Experiment plunges visitors into a grim world of a sadistic doctor and his horrifying medical ordeals. Simon’s Slaughterhouse exposes the gruesome secrets of a meat factory, while Deathwater Bayou immerses guests in a haunting bayou of dark rituals and voodoo magic. Finally, Area 64: Alien Outbreak presents a nightmarish scene of extraterrestrial terror, with sinister experiments and eerie alien horrors at every turn.
 
All-New Scare Zones and Vile Vignettes Added
Throughout the event, guests can brace themselves for unexpected adrenaline-pumping experiences when walking upon any of the seven uniquely themed scare zones. The event is introducing four brand-new zones, from creatures that emerge from beneath the surface to eerie moonlit thrills, toys that spring to life and give you chills, and clowns that make you cry from frightful laughter, the scare zones promise to deliver heart-pounding scares and unforgettable thrills.
 

• Terrors of the Deep – At the water’s edge, deadly sea beasts and eldritch horrors emerge from the depths to terrorize the poor fishermen who call the docks home.
• Ripper Row –The infamous murderer Jack The Ripper is terrorizing the streets of Ripper Row. Everyone is on edge, distrustful, and more than willing to accost strangers if it means staying alive.
• Red Moon Revelry – A once quiet commune deep in the woods has been transformed into a bloodthirsty cabal of vampires, celebrating the arrival of the blood moon. A feast is upon all who are drawn in by the sounds of a party.
• All Hallows Harvest – An abandoned farmland where nothing can be protected from the cursed scarecrows intent on harvesting bodies and souls to feed their dark desires.

 
Haunting the park pathways for another year are favorite scare zones fans love to hate, including creepy dolls and sinister stuffed animals at Deadly Toys, mystifying, undead evils rise at The Graveyard, and disgruntled, deranged carnies at Carnival of Chaos.
 
Brand-New Bewitching Live Entertainment to Madden and Mesmerize
Among the haunted houses and scare zones, visitors will encounter Vile Vignettes—staged scenes designed to terrify unsuspecting visitors. This year, Howl-O-Scream is introducing three new vignettes, each featuring a leading character and a spine-chilling tale that will haunt long after the night ends.
 

• Fall Of Atlantis – A scholar shunned for their pursuit of the arcane and mystical stumbles across a mysterious artifact at a dig site that promises to unlock the secrets of Atlantis and uncover why the ancient city fell to ruin.
• Hunter’s Oath – A vampire hunter at the edge of the forest is gathering supporters to take on the mysterious Red Moon Revelers. Will you choose to join him in his battle against the gathering dark forces, or will you fall victim?
• Songs Of Old Halloween – Gather ‘round and hear the tales of Halloween long since forgotten to all but the darkest of shadows. But beware, nary a tale you hear ends well, and legend says that the stories themselves wish to be forgot

 
Returning for a year of suspense and horror are Misfortune, where brave guests enter a fortune teller's tent to hear ominous predictions of woe and anguish; Dark Magic, a sadistic magician's twisted untraditional magic show; and Call from Beyond, where a mad scientist conducts dangerous experiments in his private lab, pushing the boundaries of fear and science.
 
Rock and Stomp during an All-New Live Theatrical Performance
Guests looking for an entertaining break from haunted houses, scare zones and frights in their night, can take a seat for an ALL-NEW theatrical performance, Monster Stomp! In the misty corners of Victorian-era London, a fiend known only as Jack the Ripper walks the streets. Watch him take the stage in a way never seen before in this modern rock and rhythm spectacular. Guests will hold onto their seats as electrifying percussion, dancing and singing combine for a show that’s as darkly entertaining as it is exhilarating.
 
This killer event will have more announcements to come on more entertainment, new themed food and bars, hidden speakeasies, plus more.
