Busch Gardens Unveils New Anaconda Haunted House for Howl O Scream This Fall

Busch Gardens Unveils New Anaconda Haunted House for Howl-O-Scream

This fall, Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens crosses into dangerous territory with the introduction of two all-new haunted houses inspired by the cult-classic Sony Pictures movie, Anaconda.

The addition marks a historic milestone: it is the first time the film has ever been licensed by Sony Pictures for integration into a Halloween event. While some horror stories stay safely on the screen, these slithering haunts pull guests directly into the nightmare.

Two Parks, Two Unique Tales of Terror

Set deep within the treacherous world of Anaconda, guests are dispatched into the heart of the Amazon river basin to search for a missing film crew. What begins as a rescue mission quickly devolves into a desperate fight for survival against a legendary apex predator.

While both parks share the cinematic universe, each location delivers a distinct storyline:

• Busch Gardens Tampa Bay: Hosts Anaconda: Fear Has No Escape
• Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Features Anaconda: Dead on Arrival

Both attractions honor the iconic lore of the original film while offering unique scares, environments, and twisted narrative turns.

Mark Your Calendars: The all-new Anaconda-inspired houses will officially premiere on September 11 at both Howl-O-Scream Tampa Bay and Howl-O-Scream Williamsburg.

Elevating the Scream Factor

The collaboration brings cinematic horror to theme park fans who crave high-intensity, immersive terror.

“Our fans are always looking for new and immersive scares, and bringing Anaconda to our Howl-O-Scream event elevates the experience at both Busch Gardens parks,” said Marc Swanson, CEO of United Parks & Resorts. “The addition of Anaconda, combined with all-new haunts and entertainment, will solidify Howl-O-Scream’s spot as one of the nation’s top Halloween events.”

What Else to Expect at Howl-O-Scream

The award-winning Howl-O-Scream is known for taking terror to the absolute extreme. Beyond the new river-dwelling horrors, guests can expect a full slate of nightmare-inducing entertainment:

• Sinister Scare Zones: Immersive themed zones where terror lurks around every dark corner.
• High-Energy Shows: Live, dark-themed entertainment to break up the fear.
• Nighttime Coaster Rides: Heart-pounding thrills aboard record-breaking roller coasters in complete darkness.
