Howl-O-Scream is back at SeaWorld Orlando, running select nights from September 5 through November 1, 2025, with gates opening at 6:30 PM and the event officially starting at 7 PM.
The event features five haunted houses with new storylines, six scare zones, themed bars, live shows, rides, and roaming horror—plus extras like immersive environments and surprise elements.
Ticket prices vary depending on date: baseline tickets begin around $45.99, while peak nights can cost up to about $69.99. SeaWorld Annual Passholders also receive special discounts when purchasing through the Pass Member portal.
Food and drink are a big part of the scare-night experience: themed bars offer eerie cocktails, atmospheric food huts serve horror-inspired snacks and entrees, and there are “Tasting Lanyards” that provide access to multiple spirit beverages and entrées. Some of the menu highlights include specialty cocktails like “Vampire Blood,” along with loaded fries, themed flatbreads, and street-style eats.
If you’re planning to attend, expect crowds to build up closer to Halloween nights; Sunday or early-September nights tend to be lighter. To make the most of the night, it’s recommended to plan your must-do haunted house or show first, arrive early, and consider using line-skipping add-ons if available.
Howl-O-Scream 2025 is a thrilling mix of fear, food, and entertainment at a reasonable price, making it a strong contender for Orlando’s top fall fright event. Whether you’re there for the scares, the shows, or the bites, the event blends horror and hospitality in unforgettable ways.
