ORLANDO, Fla. (July 9, 2026) – SeaWorld Orlando’s USA Today’s award-winning Halloween event, Howl-O-Scream, returns for its sixth year on select nights from September 11 through October 31, unleashing its most intense and immersive experience yet. This year’s event will feature five haunted houses, six scare zones, five themed bars, and two electrifying live shows. But the terror doesn’t stop there.

Leading this year's lineup is the ALL-NEW haunted house, Everything Must Stay. For six years, one suburban home has sat unsold. Every open house ends the same way: terrified buyers fleeing from things they can't explain. Step inside and discover why. Unseen forces awaken as you're trapped in the worst showing imaginable... where one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: Everything Must Stay.

​As darkness falls, the park transforms into a fully immersive nightmare where sinister surprises lurk around every corner. Additional haunted houses, scare zones, themed bars and entertainment will be revealed in the weeks ahead.
