Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will kick off its 15th season of gut-wrenching scares with Howl-O-Scream on 19 nights in September and October. Known for its horrific spine chilling scenes and over-the-top and in-your-face haunted house experiences, Howl-O-Scream has become Tampa Bay's must-see Halloween celebration.

The grounds of the African-themed park transform into an arena of diabolical proportions, where voodoo spirits and horror reign supreme.

Guest’s mental sanity and physical endurance are challenged and pushed to a place evil calls home.

Every year a horror theme is carried out throughout the park and in different haunted house experiences.

And, just when you thought you couldn't scream any louder... board a coaster for a bone-chilling ride through the darkness!
