mortuary mourners to satisfy their insatiable hunger. Avoid the walking dead or
you may find yourself deeper than six feet under.

sultry hangout straight from Sin City. The seductive games and high-stake
thrills at Revivara Casino are sure to get your blood pumping, but will you
escape before your luck gets drained? Just stay away from the killer
All-THEY-Can-Eat buffet.
Some
of the most demented houses ever are back by popular demand with some horrible
new twists:
Alone…
(A personal experience in horror) – The deranged Master Alexander
Daedalus opened Minotaur Storage to house his vast collection of “cultural”
remains. But now his sinister obsession with hoarding has expanded to
stockpiling people. Escape this lunatic’s labyrinth or you will become part of
his collection. Can you make it out ALONE?
Note: Alone is a unique, all-alone experience through the
haunted house. Admission is $40.00 per reservation, and each reservation can
accommodate you and up to 3 additional victims. Pass member discount does not
apply. Not included with any other VIP
tour or upgrade product. Howl-O-Scream
admission is required, but not included.
Nightshade
Toy Factory – By
day, the old Nightshade Toy Factory appears abandoned. But as night falls,
the mysterious manufacturing plant glows and hums as it creates the
diabolical dolls, terrible teddy bears and possessed playthings of your
childhood nightmares. These twisted
toys are alive…and they are coming after the adults who have forgotten
them.
Death
Row Vengeance: Fear the Dead – The
inmates of Grey Echo Penitentiary are slated for execution. But as a
zombie plague infests the crumbling cells, those prisoners left alive must
decide which is worst: facing the firing squad, death by electric chair or
an eternity of torture at the hands of their undead captors.
Deconstruction:
The Doctor Is Out of Control – Dr. Edger VonAngst has the skill
and technology to make you over…but what will you become? This mad reconstructive surgeon has
fallen one notch deeper into insanity and is putting human parts back
together with mechanical pieces, combining flesh, bone and steel in the
most hideous ways.
After
braving bone-chilling coasters in the dark such as Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Montu,
Gwazi and Kumba, you can catch your breath at these twisted live shows:
NEW! Midnight Hour – The music industry can be a devilish business to
break into, especially when your road to fame leads to the Hellfire Club. Don’t believe the
club’s shadowy owner when he promises his panel of sinister celebrity
pop-culture coaches will help make you a star! Performing nightly at the Desert Grill
Fiends – Is
there a doctor in the house? These captivating creatures of the
night will infect you with dance fever and keep your pulse pounding with
their deranged dance party. But when Dr. Freakenstein’s naughty nurses
start operating, the diagnosis is always “code pink.” Performing
nightly at the Stanleyville Theater.
Looking
for a sick party or the perfect souvenir to round out your evening of evil?
Club Virus – Escape
the hordes and head to the transformed Marrakesh Theater to join the
killer party at Howl-O-Scream’s exclusive dance club. This adults-only nighttime playground
keeps the energy pumping all night long with non-stop music, premium
signature cocktails, drink specials and exclusive appearances by
Howl-O-Scream's most terrifying personalities.

evil with the perfect Howl-O-Scream souvenir, including toys, tees and
other Halloween-themed gifts. Then, smile through the pain and snap the
perfect pic at an exclusive Dark Side of the Gardens photo op that’s not
for the faint of heart.
