Since 1999, Howl-O-Scream has returned year after year to twist Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s lush Virginian forests into fog-choked haunting grounds. Like its Tampa cousin, the surroundings often inform the scares. Haunted houses and “Terror-tories” are woven into the park’s European theme, making fresh monsters out of old myths. England has the Ripper. Germany has the Grimm Brothers. France has the catacombs. In Williamsburg, folklore is as old as fear itself.

In contrast to Busch Gardens Tampa, Howl-O-Scream is not a separately ticketed event but included with general admission. Though it occasionally shares houses and themes with the other Howl-O-Scream events, Busch Gardens Williamsburg frequently relies on its own original icon, the pumpkin-headed Jack of the Lantern.

Bitten
Oktoberfest | X/5
Eastern Europe in the late 1800s was a time of suspicion darkness and mind-numbing fear. This is where our story begins. The “Bitten” house has always been full of legends and lore about vampires and the undead who prey on the innocent. The manor sits by the road upon which all travelers must pass … and never return.
Catacombs
France | X/5
Deep within these tunnels lie mile after mile of bones — the final resting place for those who are buried here. But all is not as quiet as it appears. As guests venture forth into the dank dripping corridors of rat infested remains the voices of the dead begin to speak and some have taken shape.
Cursed
| X/5
Between the borders of legend and reality lie the cursed and those whose fate is determined by the witches of the woods will forever be changed. Into a depthless abyss through a cracked cave wall where the veil of consciousness is at its thinnest lies the world of the witch. On All Hallows Eve their blazing beacon beckons and you are unable to resist.
Harvest Hallow
| X/5
Contribute to The VAULT.
Haunted
| X/5
In 17th-century Germany lies a hunter’s cabin in the darkest part of the forested valley. Home to a family of werewolf hunters this cabin has long been hidden to the world. Now it lies in shambles and only the bloody clues will tell the truth of what has happened.
Revenge of Pompeii
Escape from Pompeii | X/5
Through a ruined cemetery filled with statues lies a tunnel that leads to a city below the ground. Its history is more terrifying than that of France’s worst revolutions. Deep within these tunnels lie miles upon miles of bones - the final resting place for those who are buried here. But all is not as quiet as it appears. As you venture forth into the dank dripping corridors of rat infested remains the voices of the dead begin to speak and some … have taken shape.
Monster Stop: Revamped
Park Exit | ??/5
Join us for a revamping of a classic – vampires have come to the monster stomp party and they are dying to have a good time. Witches Mummies Skeletons Beasts and Vampires rock out in this high powered musical “rockstravaganza.” Parental supervision advised.

    BGW Howl-O-Scream 2010 was the high watermark for HOS. They simply did it right with the “Scare Is Everywhere”. This is what HOS was made for...The best was how they had Victorian costumed dummies throughout the England area of the park and then switched out several of the dummies for identically dress real people. So you were comfortable all day knowing that they were not real and then later in the night they would step out in front of you. Simply genius! They also had real rats walking above peoples heads on a tight rope and people were shocked when they looked up. Add in the many scare actors hidden wearing guille suits and it was a night to remember. That plus all the haunted houses and theming throughout the park, tons of fog and it made the event the one to gauge all others by.
