Darkness Descends Over SeaWorld

Escape from ghastly apparitions as they prowl the fog-laden paths, their howls piercing the silence. Venture indoors seeking safety, only to find yourself within walls echoing with the cries of the damned. Quench your forbidden thirst with cursed concoctions and lose yourself to the hypnotic beats of the live performances, where the boundary between this world and the next blurs dangerously. Dare to ride the haunted coasters, now veiled in pitch darkness, where each scream fuels the night's enchantment.

And most crucially, evade the haunting gaze of the unseen, watching, waiting. Will you brave the horrors that stalk every shadow at SeaWorld San Diego’s Howl-O-Scream?
