Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025 reveals The Collector’s Curse, returning scare zones, and a terrifying lineup of haunted houses. Tickets start at $39.99.

Howl-O-Scream Orlando

Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025 is a premier Halloween event that transforms the park into a realm of terror on select nights from September 5 to November 1, 2025. Celebrating its fifth year, the event features haunted houses, scare zones, live shows, and themed bars. Guests can also enjoy SeaWorld’s roller coasters like Mako and Pipeline under the night sky. Please note that Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025 is intended for mature audiences. It also counts as a separately ticketed event, so daytime admission does not earn admittance.

Well before any official announcements were made about the houses and scare zones at Howl-O-Scream Orlando, its social media account posted a creepy video. The post indicated, “Someone’s been watching since the very beginning… and they’re not satisfied. More fear will be unleashed soon.” Did this mean a new character would be arriving to increase the Howl-O-Scream lore? In early June, when this was originally posted, we lacked the details to make that decision. Do we have context now? Does this brand-new Howl-O-Scream house educate guests about that cryptic social media post?

At this point, we know eight of the ten houses for Halloween Horror Nights in Orlando this year. However, we had not heard much from the spooky event down the road at SeaWorld Orlando, Howl-O-Scream. However, that changed today.

Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025: The Collector’s Curse

During Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025, guests can experience The Collector’s Curse house. The brand-new house for 2025 allows guests to “Step inside a lavish estate turned house of horrors, where a mysterious host known as The Collector lures guests with rare relics and ancient artifacts. But this estate sale hides a sinister secret—one that pulls you deep into a twisted underworld of cursed creations and monstrous mutations.”

Guests learned at the SeaWorld Orlando Howl-O-Scream panel at Spooky Empire that the Sirens, a predominant icon for the event, would not be the big bads for the 2025 event. Based on that, it looks like The Collector could be playing that role for Howl-O-Scream 2025. Of course, we will need to wait to find out for sure.

Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025: Farm 51

Additionally, we know that Farm 51’s haunted house will return in 2025. The house description for Farm 51 reads, “It was supposed to be just another empty field. But when you stumble upon a crumbling farmhouse deep in the backwoods, the silence feels wrong. The corn sways without wind. The static in the air crawls up your spine. And then—you hear them.

Something has crash-landed. Something not of this world. And it’s not here to make peace. Step back inside Farm51, a haunted house infested with the terrifying aftermath of an extraterrestrial encounter. Are you brave enough to investigate… or will you become the next experiment?”

Based on last year’s progress, we would expect to see construction for this house starting soon near Infinity Falls. This served as a new Howl-O-Scream house last year, improving the event overall. Will it have some new updates? Once again, we must wait to find out.

Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025

Howl‑O‑Scream Orlando 2025 returns to SeaWorld Orlando with chilling thrills on select nights from September 5 to November 1, 2025. This adult‑oriented, separately‑ticketed event starts nightly at 7:00 p.m., with park gates opening at 6:30 p.m. Guests will navigate five immersive haunted houses, including spine‑tingling houses like Farm 51—an alien‑infested farmhouse—and more yet‑to‑be‑revealed terror‑filled attractions.

Six Scare Zones

Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025

This event also involves six scare zones. We know about two returning scare zones for Howl-O-Scream 2025:

Blood Light District – “Step into the seductive shadows of the Blood Light District, where temptation drips from every corner and danger hides behind every alluring glance. Beneath the glow of crimson lights, vampires prowl the cobblestone streets, luring victims with irresistible charm and a thirst that can’t be quenched. In this sultry scare zone, beauty is a trap—and you’re walking straight into it.”

Cannibal Harbor – “Welcome back to Cannibal Harbor, a decaying port where the fog never lifts—and neither does the hunger. Twisted by a dark curse, the fishermen here no longer haul in fish. They hunt the living. Dare to wander these haunted docks, but be warned: in Cannibal Harbor, you’re either predator… or prey.”

Themed Bars and Return of “Monster Stomp”

SeaWorld Orlando also announced that two themed bars will be returning, “Tormented” and “Carnevil Curiosities” with more to be announced. Also, the popular high-energy show “Monster Stomp” returns for another haunting season.

More scare zone and house news will be released at a later date for Howl-O-Scream Orlando 2025. Tickets for Howl-O-Scream Orlando are on sale starting at $39.99 for single-night tickets. Additionally, for more theme park-related news and information, visit MSM News.
