Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Howl-O-Scream event is celebrating its 10th year of scares. The popular Halloween event is one of the only Halloween events within the Orlando theme parks that have activities specifically catered toward adults. There are sexy dance shows and “scareactors” in racy costumes. At this year’s event, guests can visit Club Envy. Hosted by Ms. Vayne and her vampire models, Club Envy is a 21+ dance club that will be serving alcohol, hors d’ oeuvres and will allow guests to meet with the different characters featured in the haunted houses. To get everyone in the mood for the Halloween event, Orlando Attractions Magazine picked two of its readers to be some of the first people to try out one of the houses at Howl-O-Scream.

Dannie Kleszczowski and Aurora Moore, both Orlando natives, visited Howl-O-Scream and were outfitted with scream cams. The scream cams are attached to backpacks that carry the rest of the equipment. Mounted on the victims’ chest, the scream cam captures every scream and jump the victims make as they go through the house. Dannie and Aurora were sent through the Delta Epsilon Delta (DED, get it?) sorority house with the scream cam.

Both girls were interviewed by Howl-O-Scream Creative Director Scott Swenson on their apprehensions about entering the haunted houses. Dannie admitted she had never attended a Halloween event of Howl-O-Scream’s caliber and admitted to being the kind of victim that talks to herself rather than screams. Dannie went through the DED house as sorority girls clawed at her and called her name. At one point she passed a tanning booth and turned down the DED girl’s request for a tan. “I like being pale,” she said comically.

Aurora Moore admitted to putting up a front when faced with a scary haunted house. Aurora admitted to Scott Swenson she was “75% 25%” on the apprehension versus excitement scale and then proceeded through the DED house, shouting “Go DED!” at the scareactors as she ran away to escape them. Both Aurora and Dannie gave fans a great preview of what’s to come at Howl-O-Scream. It’s obvious that Busch Gardens is stepping it up and ready to give guests some great scares this Halloween season!
