Don't Listen

You will likely notice the change almost immediately when traveling through the park’s haunted villages beginning at 6 p.m. A new song was produced this year to coincide with the park's frightful offering.  You might hear the song playing over the park's sound system, but heed this one piece of advice: Don't listen. It's said that strange things start happening whenever you hear the haunting melody. Rumor has it the song curses its listeners. Survive a night of paranormal horrors at Howl-O-Scream and you may just lift it.

Wendigo Woods
Wendigo Woods started out as a state-of-the-art facility where researchers could study the flora and fauna of the northern reaches of the continent’s forests. The camp was named after a terrifying creature, the Wendigo, which was thought to be only a legend… until now. Sightings of mysterious creatures stalking through the woods have prompted a security team to shut down the compound and contain whatever is out there. Either unravel the mystery of Wendigo Woods or fall prey to the terror in the trees.

Vampire Point
Even vampires need a vacation once in a while and Vampire Point is the perfect destination for bloodsuckers. Watch your step and your neck or you might end up the main course at the Blood Banquet. Dawn is hours away, so your last salvation lies in escaping the vampire village before the inhabitants sink their fangs into you.

Ports of Skull
The Jolly Roger has risen over a ship graveyard filled with lost souls doomed to haunt the vessels they once sailed. Chart your course through Cut Throat Cove or cozy up to the Pirate Baarrrgh for a swill ‘o the grog, but keep a weather eye open or you may find yourself keel-hauled by cut-throat buccaneers.

Monster Stomp on Ripper Row
Monster Stomp on Ripper Row is a modern rock-and-rhythm spectacular featuring Jack the Ripper in an electrifying percussion, dynamic dance and sensational singing revue in the park’s Globe Theatre. Video-mapping technology, 3-D soundscapes and other technology available inside the Globe Theatre transports the audience to London’s East End where the Ripper’s horrifying acts occurred.

Igor’s Fright Feast
The doctor is out and now it’s Igor’s show.  Guests can pull up a chair at the operating table and feast on an all-you-care-to-eat buffet as Igor and his alluring assistants host Igor’s Fright Feast.  The songs are as hot as the food and the drinks flow faster than an I.V. drip in this wacky and entertaining Howl-O-Scream dining experience.

Demon Street
Paris is burning. Can you escape before the city is engulfed in flame? Let the smoldering ruins light your way, but beware, fiery fiends lurk around every corner ready to put you on the coals. The smell of a burning inferno fills the air and rumor has it unsuspecting souls will be roasted on a spit. It’s about to get very hot in Paris, so stay cool or you may find yourself going up in smoke.
