SeaWorld San Diego’s highly anticipated Howl-O-Scream event is back, promising to deliver the most frightening Halloween experience in San Diego. Running from September 27 through November 2, this year’s event has been elevated to new heights, building on the success of years past.

Mazes

Howl-O-Scream is set to deliver its most intense experience yet. Guests will descend into darkness, weaving through shadowy tunnels and flickering corridors where each step unveils unsettling secrets. Circus of the Damned invites visitors to face clowns equipped with cutting-edge 3-D effects, turning every room into a twisted spectacle of unsettling laughter. Nightmare Experiment thrusts attendees into the grim reality of a sadistic doctor’s nightmarish medical trials. At Simon’s Slaughterhouse, the grisly operations of a meat factory are disturbingly revealed, while Deathwater Bayou submerges guests in a sinister swamp filled with dark rituals and voodoo magic. Lastly, Area 64: Alien Outbreak plunges visitors into a terrifying realm of extraterrestrial menace, where sinister experiments and eerie alien encounters lurk around every corner.

All-New Scare Zones and Vignettes

In addition to the haunted houses, Howl-O-Scream introduces all-new scare zones and Vile Vignettes. With seven uniquely themed zones, including the debut of four brand-new areas, guests are guaranteed a night filled with unexpected horrors. From creepy dolls in Deadly Toys to the undead in The Graveyard, the scares will be lurking around every corner.

New Zones

• 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.

Live Entertainment

The thrills don’t stop there—guests can also enjoy brand-new live entertainment. Monster Stomp, a rock and rhythm theatrical performance set in the foggy streets of Victorian London, brings the infamous Jack the Ripper to life in a way never seen before. This electrifying show promises to be both exhilarating and darkly captivating.

• 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
