Incredibly clever and eerie marketing campaign. Consider me excited

Doesn't take much money to do a commercial (looks over at HHN) As always HOS has me excited

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 Gardens’overgrown 300 acres of fright.

• NEW!Cursed Front Gate Experience – The curse begins from the moment you enter the terrorizing gates of Howl-0-Scream 2014. 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. Escape the depths of the BASEMENT before she turns you into the secret sauce! She always said it took blood, sweat and tears!

• Circus of Superstition: The Final Act—You’ve tried to avoid black cats and sidewalk cracks, but all those years of bad luck caught up with you! Surviving the terrorizing surprises of Circus of Superstition: The Final Act will take more than luck as you try to escape this whole new dimension of fear.

• Blood Asylum—As lightning rages and thunder crashes outside, “The Creature” escapes from his holding cell in a high-security asylum for the criminally insane. Now this sadistic deviant is running rampant, skinning his former cellmates and turning the mental hospital into his own torture chamber. This serial killer’s bloody playground will drive you out of your mind with fear.

• Zombie Mortuary—No one remembers how the epidemic started, but now, the undead terrors infest this small town funeral home and feed on the fresh flesh and brains of mortuary mourners to satisfy their insatiable hunger. Avoid the walking dead or you may find yourself deeper than six feet under.

• The Experiment— Researchers have devised some new ways to challenge your fear toleranceand mental endurance in this interactive Experiment. “Test subjects” endure psychological tests in this exclusive study, pushing the limits of the human body and putting them face-to-face with their worst nightmares. How far is too far in study of fear? Will you survive The Experiment?

Note: The Experiment is a unique, interactive experience that challenges your threshold for fear for an additional fee. Reservations are required, and each reservation can accommodate you and up to three additional “test subjects.” Pass Member discount does not apply. Not included with any other VIP tour or upgrade product. Howl-O-Scream 2014 admission is required, but not included. The Experiment admission for the first test subject starts at $50. Each additional test subject is $10.

After braving bone-chilling coasters in the dark, such as Cheetah Hunt, SheiKra, Montu, Gwazi and Kumba, you can catch your breath at Howl-O-Scream’s signature show, Fiends, or keep the party going all night in Howl-O-Scream’s signature club and shops.

• Fiends— Is there a doctor in the house? Dr. Freakenstein and his naughty nurses will infect you with dance fever and keep your pulse pounding with their deranged dance party.

• Club Cursed™ – Drive yourself mad partying at Howl-O-Scream 2014’s dance club. Sample Howl-O-Scream’s signature potions “Cursed,” “Contained,” and “Possessed,” along with craft brews at the full-service bar, and keep the energy pumping all night with a DJ, non-stop music.

THE "ZOMBIE CONTAINMENT UNIT 15" HOUSE

not included with tours.... hmmmmmmmmmmm.

 

[Clive]

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

 

[Horrornightsste]

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'm very interested in the ZOMBIE CONTAINMENT UNIT 15. I hope to go to HOS one of these years. I keep hearing good things.

Awesome. Thank you very much.

One new house, whoopie...I'm sure the streets will be fun but this definitely sounds like a low year for HOS. Pretty disappointed

 

[Clive]

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...

 

[Octobers Fade]

One new house, whoopie...I'm sure the streets will be fun but this definitely sounds like a low year for HOS. Pretty disappointed

Uhmm... it's two, the other is being held back for an announcement.

 

[Cole]

Uhmm... it's two, the other is being held back for an announcement.

Oh ok whoops. If it's the zombie house then meh. 2 in one event is bad enough but three in all of Florida is definitely overkill

 

[UNIrd]

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.
