Operating
The Opening SCAREmony of Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld San Diego kicks off the night with high-energy scares, eerie music, and a sinister welcome to the event’s haunted fun. As darkness falls, creepy characters emerge, setting the tone with dramatic lighting, booming sound, and a story-driven introduction to the night’s haunted houses and scare zones. It’s a great way to shift from daytime park vibes into full Halloween mode, building anticipation and giving a first look at some of the event’s most unsettling creatures before you explore the rest of Howl-O-Scream.
