Year six of Howl-O-Scream runs 23 select nights from September 11 through Halloween, and the pitch is simple — SeaWorld after dark is a genuinely different park.
The 2026 lineup brings five haunted houses (four brand-new storylines plus one returning), six scare zones with four new builds, five all-new themed bars, and two roaming hordes. Named so far: the house *Everything Must Stay*, built around a haunted open-house you can’t leave; the new gothic-garden zone *Just One More Chapter*; and returning favourites *Trailer Park Tragedy* and *Woodrot Hollow*. Two live shows round it out — *Throttle*, starring the villain Havoc, and *Monster Stomp*, a Jack the Ripper percussion piece.
The real draw for coaster people: Mako, Ice Breaker, Pipeline: The Surf Coaster and Expedition Odyssey: Fire & Ice all run at night.
Single nights start at $37.99 (minimum four at that rate), Pass Members get $29.99 nights, and the Unlimited Scream Pass is $112.99. Two things to know before you book: the ticket does not include daytime SeaWorld admission, and nobody in costume is admitted.
