TAMPA, Fla. (June 1, 2007) – This fall, Howl-O-Scream is back for an eighth season of blood-curdling scares. For 16 select nights, Howl-O-Scream 2007 will transform Busch Gardens Africa into a nightmare of inescapable fear that will overwhelm the senses with a new spin of horror. The devious creatures that infest six haunted houses, five scare zones and three thrilling shows have plenty of psychotic surprises in store, and bone-chilling roller coasters to keep the screams coming all night long.

Howl-O-Scream 2007 runs select Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights during October: Oct. 5-6, 11-13, 18-21 and 25-28. Freaky Preview lets guests take a stab at the scares a week early on Sept. 28-30 for discounted rates. Operating hours are 7:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. during Freaky Preview and on Thursday and Sunday nights. Friday and Saturday hours are 7:30 p.m. to 2 a.m.

General admission is $59.95 plus tax, with savings available on advance e-ticket purchases at DeathJockey.com. Reduced rates and special offers are also available to Busch Gardens Passport members, at participating AAA locations and for guests wishing to upgrade their paid daily admission to Busch Gardens.
