A much awaited award winning event for the Halloween freaks, Howl-O-Scream is organized at multiple locations in the USA. Tampa is where it started. Organized each year at the Busch Gardens close to the Halloween date, it is a night time separately ticketed event. It has scare zones and disturbing shows with different themes each year.

However the popular Fiends Show comes back each year on popular demand. It is dreadful to watch Dr. Freakenstein work with his nurses to bring an ugly monster back to life.  The possessed and the witches roam around freely.

Not meant for children, it is a violent and a bloody event where the scare factor is intense. 

Howl-O-Scream

Residence of some scary and unfriendly clowns, Murder House is known to be inhabitable and dangerous for the normal people.

It is known for its audio/visual FX and the polished storylines.

The props here are real looking and the actors do a great job at scaring you. Not too big or high on scare level, children can go under the supervision of an adult. Part of the money raised goes to The Big Cat Rescue cause.
