Busch Gardens' Howl-O-Scream event returns with one purpose: immerse
guests in a startling landscape of fright over 15 haunting nights. The
torment in Tampa Bay begins Friday, September 27 and culminates with
the ultimate scream fest on November 2, 2002. Howl-O-Scream drifts brave
souls though six haunted houses, four scare zones, adrenaline-loaded
attractions and encounters with hundreds of ghouls and goblins. Featuring
jaw-dropping special effects and eye-popping terror, the extreme haunted
houses are Escape from Insanity, Ripper Row, Tortured, Demented Dimensions,
Bloody Bayou and The Mortuary .
Fridays and Saturdays starting September 27th - November
2nd from 7:30PM 'til 2:00AM.
Thursdays October 17th, 24th and Halloween night October 31st from 7:30PM
'til 1:00AM.
Howl-O-Scream may be too intense for young children. Parental
discretion is advised.
Ripper Row
A horrible black labyrinth… streets of rancid decay, walls slimy with
ooze, this wretched alley has become home to robbers by day, murderers
by night. Jack the Ripper leads them all, luring innocents in this dead
end. We've all heard of him. We fear his legend. Now, come live his
terror.
The Mortuary
Ring a-round the roses. A pocket full of posies. Ashes! Ashes! We all
fall down! A harmless rhyme from childhood? Or the reality none of us
can escape? It's really about dying, a song about death. Death leads
to funerals, cremations and underground burials. And in the Mortuary,
it all leads to YOU.
Escape from Insanity
The asylum is open. The inmates are back. The staff is ready and waiting.
Come by for a visit. We’ve spruced up the place. We really, really,
really want you to stay. Welcome to Sunny Meadows — there's always room
for one more in the asylum. We'll leave the light on for you.
Bloody Bayou
The Bayou Clan has been waiting all year for more "talent" to cast in
their homemade movies. They worship horror movies. They live and die
by them. And you will, too. They want you to come. They need you to
come. But steer clear if you know what's good for you. They mean to
make you star in their nightmare versions of everyone's favorite cult
classic horror movies.
Tortured
You’ve been invited to the party of the season. But who's the host,
and what's behind that sliding wall? Curiosity killed the cat, but you
won't have it that easy. Go behind the wall. Enter the darkness. Feel
the coldness. Don't show your fear. Your mystery host wants you, and
fear only makes it worse. You're just another victim, as easy to come
by as a Halloween Party invitation. No R.S.V.P. necessary!
Demented Dimensions
An archeological expedition has unearthed another world — a place of
alien creation buried deep within the fiery earth. Here you will be
transported to places the mind could never conceive and your soul will
always fear. Something is in here with you... You've entered Demented
Dimensions.
Cursed
If there were another way around, you would take it. You can feel that
this is a wicked place. It’s as if there is a wall of superstition and
evil that you have to pass through just to enter the area. The air is
thick with electricity, danger is near. Will you pass through untouched?
Or enter at your own risk? It's hard to tell who will be CURSED.
The X-Ecutioners
This is a future where Bad is a way of life. The national pastime has
become hunting, chasing, horrifying and maiming. This is a catastrophic
world that has been overtaken by the X-treme. You will race for your
very life while rogue hoodlums compete to see who can take you down
first. They know X-actly what they want. They X-amine every possible
move. Then they X-plode with the challenge of being the first to make
you pay. Determined to fulfill their destiny, they are The X-ECUTIONERS!
They're bad to the bone!
Grisly Gardens
Scary, Scary, quite contrary, my how the garden has GROWN! Evil's roots
have spread and taken over every inch of this once peaceful ground.
Now there's really NO ESCAPE — This forgotten garden has become a horrible
breeding ground where once-majestic statues now spread fear and terror.
Their eyes are watching you. Welcome to the Grisly Gardens... please
don't pick the flowers!
Agony Express
As you approach the station, the lined-up travelers seem so eager to
board the Express. Their faces glow in anticipation of the journey ahead.
How naive they really are. Something in you stirs as you realize that
things aren't quite right. Your instincts tell you to board, but you
can't... the Loco-monsters have other plans for you!
