SeaWorld Orlando has revealed the identity of its first haunted house for the 2026 edition of Howl-O-Scream. For those involved in the real estate market, this may become familiar.
The after-hours extra-ticket Halloween event will feature a maze called “Everything Must Stay,” based on a suburban house that has been on the market for six years.
“Every open house ends the same way: frightened buyers run away from something they can’t explain,” a SeaWorld news release said. “Go inside and find out why. Trapped in the worst situation imaginable, an invisible force awakens.”
According to the theme park, Howl-O-Scream will feature five houses (four with new storylines and one returning), as well as six fear zones, two roaming hordes, and five new themed bars. Howl-O-Scream also features live shows such as “Monster Stomp,” “Throttle,” and “The Grave Danger Thrill Show.” The event will be held over 26 nights from September 11th to October 31st.
SeaWorld is currently selling single-night tickets for $34.99 to $36.99, depending on the date. Unlimited Scream Passes, which give you admission every night during the event, are sold for $112.99. We also offer passes valid at the Howl at SeaWorld and Howl-O-Scream events at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
SeaWorld Spooktacular is a family-friendly daytime event featuring characters and trick-or-treaters that will take place on weekends starting August 29th. Included in regular theme park admission.
