Following the ambitious turnover of 2003 to 2004, three haunted houses were replaced and the rest revamped. As Darkheart’s Fear Fair became Freaked!, a bit player Jack-in-the-box was promoted to Howl-O-Scream mascot. Like Escape from Insanity before them, both Dearly Departed and The Mortuary received sequel overhauls. All of the old scare zones were replaced and another added, bringing the total up to five. Though 2005 was altogether smoother than the previous hurricane-delayed year, one of the new houses, The Hunted, did briefly catch fire from a discarded cigarette. The small blaze was extinguished and the set repaired within the same night.
