Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream: New Overlay Confirmed For "The Residence" Haunted House

Halloween at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay will be horrifyingly festive this year.

Christmas is coming early to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay at this year's Howl-O-Scream.

"The Residence: Home for the Holidays" is the latest announcement to be revealed for the park's big Halloween event in 2022. Taking you into a normal suburban home this holiday season, things aren't quite what they seem. Horrors will await those who got to this home for Christmas. Will you make it out this murderous house or will you be "sleighed" before you can escape?

"The Residence: Home for the Holidays" joins the line up of this year's event with a few returning favourites. Haunted house "The Forgotten" takes those brave enough into a quarry where "dark secrets lurk in the shadows" and you may find yourself the newest member of a long forgotten army.

Like "The Forgotten", "Witch of the Woods" will also be coming back to Howl-O-Scream this year. If you venture into the woods you might not come out alive. A witch calls this place her home and she may want you for a demonic sacrifice.

Howl-O-Scream doesn't just have haunted houses. The whole park is taken over with scare zones and "sinister shows". You can also take in night time rides of the park's best attractions including the new Iron Gwazi.

Running for select nights between 9th September and 31st October, tickets are already on sale for the event. Currently Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is offering up to 70% off single night tickets with prices starting at $29.99. You can purchase these at buschgardens.com.
