Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream is celebrating 20 years of fear, and they’re definitely amping up the fear for this year. There will be plenty of horrifying haunted houses, terrifying scare zones and thrilling rollercoaster rides through the dark.
The event’s dark past has earned a sinister reputation, and is presently nominated for a USA TODAY Readers’ Choice award for Best Theme Park Halloween Event. Howl-O-Scream fans can show their support and vote for the event once per day until August 26.
Howl-O-Scream is available during select nights at Busch Gardens, beginning on September 20 and running through November 2. It’s a separately ticketed event, and single-night tickets start at $39.99. You can also get unlimited admission for all 22 nights starting at $79.99. Guests can also upgrade their tickets and get a Front Line Fear Pass with options such as front-of-the-line access to the haunted houses and attractions, which include their new launch coaster, Tigris.
