Press Release:

As the lights dim and the fire dwindles, a sinister song in perfect pitch curses all who hear its tormenting tempo. Survive the curse this fall, for 18 select nights, as Howl-O-Scream® 2014 returns to Busch Gardens® Tampa with unexpected terrors around every corner.
Freaky Preview returns this year with Howl-O-Scream 2014’s opening weekend on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27. The event then runs Thursday through Saturday nights, Oct. 2-Nov. 1. Howl-O-Scream will also be open on Sunday, Oct. 19. Operating hours are 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. for all event nights.

Hundreds of undead creatures emerge from the shadows and lurk throughout Busch Gardens as paranormal terrors keep your pulse pounding with an all-new haunted house, roaming slash mobs and more, including a brand new interactive experience that tests your skills and places you in the sights of an undead mob. Even more excitement awaits you on some of Florida’s top thrill rides, including North America’s tallest freestanding drop tower, Falcon’s Fury™.

Howl-O-Scream 2014 brings fear to a whole new level with brand new terrorizing experiences:


  • NEW! Dead Fall – The ghosts of long lost memories reach into the present and will NOT be forgotten! These spirits from the past lurk in the shadows of this Victorian garden and greenhouse, longing to drag unsuspecting guests into their world.


  • NEW! Slash Mobs – Even sidewalks aren’t safe from roaming slash mobs creeping throughout Busch Gardensovergrown 300 acres of fright.

There’s no escaping the evil spirts or spine-chilling song that seeps from the old music boxes and radios, cursing all who hear it. The only way to silence the curse is to survive the night with undead creatures and paranormal terrors.

From the depths of the basement to the eerie bogs of the Bayou, some of the most demented houses ever are back by popular demand with some horrifying new twists:


  • Death Water Bayou—Deep in the bayou the Voodoo Queen mystically transforms lost wanderers into her minions of evil with black magic. Here, her night servants roam with a zombie-like hunger and seek to grow her collection. The darkest evils lurk in shadows. Get out before you fall victim to her spell.


  • The BASEMENT—From Momma’s secret ingredient to Granny’s bone-ground flour, Momma’s Meats’ award-winning recipe has always been a family affair that’s only created in the BASEMENT.

So, wait... only one new house despite two leaving? (Nevermore and Ultimate Gamble). That's... pretty disappointing, actually.
 
I'm having a shocker here.

Do I need to buy both a day pass and the scare ticket for this event? Like mickeys christmas. Or do I just get a scare ticket as that's all we want to go for?

Thanks in advance

No there is another addition, it is going where the 3-D house was but I am not sure of it's content (I have heard rumors) and how it will be handled... It may just be that because of the way it is structured that express will not be an option. I do think that if you pay $239 for a tour it should get you to the front of this line at least once!

I believe there is a option for the day and night combo.
Howl O Scream is a separate ticket and the event starts at 7:30.

Single-Night Ticket – Howl-O-Scream 2014 –

Challenge 300 acres of sinister scares at Howl-O-Scream 2014. Brave your way through unexpected terrors lurking around every corner, including hundreds of roaming creatures, new houses, all-new scare zones and exciting live, interactive entertainment. As if that wasn’t enough, Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream is the only place to scream your way through Florida’s top thrill rides—in the dark.

Howl-O-Scream starts at 7:30 each event night, but this tickets allows access to the park starting at 5 p.m. Arrive early to enjoy thrilling rides in Egypt, Congo and Pantopia and have time to dine before being one of the first to experience the chills of Howl-O-Scream 2014.
 
I'm very interested in the ZOMBIE CONTAINMENT UNIT 15. I hope to go to HOS one of these years. I keep hearing good things.
 
I'm confused. If there's another house to announce (this ZCU15 thing), why didn't they announce it with everything else? Two zombie houses also kind of makes me nervous...
 
Wait I thought the rumor was three new houses? Ugh. Why even put out the release with all the house info? Lame. Lame. Lame.

And I can't believe Zombie Mortuary is back for a 4TH YEAR.
