In Autumn 2009, guests should be watching their backs as Howl-O-Scream celebrates a decade of diabolical scares with its 10th year of terror at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. For selected nights in October, the Gulf coast’s premiere adventure park transforms into Florida’s top-rated Halloween event – a park-wide nightmare of inescapable fear with seductive surprises around every turn. Devious creatures infest Busch Gardens’ 335 acres with dark, sinister, adult-targeted fun, including more all-new haunted houses than ever before, spine-tingling scare zones and thrilling live stage shows. Even the streets themselves aren’t safe from the wandering hoards and other terrors of the night, and bone-chilling roller coasters keep the screams coming all night long. Howl-O-Scream 2009 will leave you begging for mercy… and screaming for more.
