That's a classic

A necklace that grants you "protection" in scare zones? That's a pretty darn great idea! Honestly, I hope some other parks pick up on this - may make events like Howl-O-Scream and HHN more appetizing for those who just want to check it out without engaging in the horror element outside of the houses. Particularly those like me - I'm a certified coward when it comes to horror. Additional good idea on display here - essentially placing one of those pay-to-spray kiosks you see at water rides, but repurposing it to horror? That's great, and I'd personally say that there's quite a few who would get a good kick out of that.

But to be able to walk through and see the shows, visit the bars, and take in the story? That would be great!

Okay, it’s one thing for Universal to put more effort in their Halloween event than Disney, but now SeaWorld? What a weird timeline I’m living in. LONG LIVE SPACK JARROW!!

Scare zone and haunted house actors are so underrated, they do their acts over hundreds of times and still sell it. Thanks for the frights.

The way I had to pause and run to the comments while wheezing out "DID THAT SCARE ACTOR JUST SAY 'WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CAR'S EXTENDED WARRANTY'????"

Ok, but that bayou witch scare actor at 14:12 was awesome. There's something absolutely thrilling about a scare actor that REALLY gets into character.

Hollywood? Is that somewhere here in Flordia as well? I just moved down here and really want to check out all the parks and stuff down here.

I went on Saturday. It's a good start for this event and I can't wait to see it grow. They have a lot of "lessons learned" to go thru, especially the layout having dead ends. I think Siren's Song should've been at the entrance as a beginning show as the event started and then ran there as more people came in thru the night. Dead Vines was my favorite house, they did a lot of theming and it looked great. The ongoing joke was you couldn't find a bottle of water, but everywhere you turned someone was yelling, "Jell-O shots!" and willing to squirt one down your throat from a plastic syringe.

I’m from San Antonio, and I remember when Howl-O-Scream first started here. Only went once when I was a kid, and then SeaWorld just became too expensive to visit. Bought a Season Pass last year and then Covid happened. Hyped as hell to go this year to see how it differs from Fiesta Texas.

I really like how they tied more or less everything in to the main theme of the event. One thing that started irritating me about HHN was how they would shoehorn unrelated (read: freakin walking dead) content into what was otherwise a strong event. A unified theme really makes the whole thing just that much more entertaining as an experience.

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking about for a while now. I think that is what seems to be lacking at HHN nowadays. What started out as a really immersive, unified-themed event turned into a dump for intellectual properties for the sake of selling movie tickets or DVDs or even artists’ music albums. I believe an overall story-driven theme is what haunts *should* be doing.

Really love what I've seen from Howl-O-Scream Orlando so far! The scare zones and actors commit so well to their theme, and with the theming taking over the bars too makes it even more immersive. What a blast!

I LOVE the integration of the masks into the horror spaces and actors, they really amp up the uncanny horror so well!

I say I have to admire their mask, they really made them fit the theme. the ones that look like a face really gives you a wearing someone's skin feel.

WTH is Jack doing at Sea World?! I'm down for it lol

Now _THIS_ is my kind of Halloween horror event.... bar-hopping around haunted houses! 🥂 The necklaces are a _brilliant idea_ since some people want to experience one of these nights but not be on edge for hours.... I love my horror & thrillers but I'm easily startled, so it's super-appealing to me to be able to walk around the park, interact with the actors & enjoy the experience, but pick the venues where I'll be jump-scared. I'd imagine they're great for the actors too, because they know that the people without the necklaces are game for anything! 👻

Broke: Sea World Orlando has Scare Zones now Woke: Night rides on Mako

I honestly hope this does well financially. I would love to see it grow and rival the great scale and horrific qualities brought to the table at its sister park in Tampa

This year’s event was amazing. SeaWorld really went all out with the improvements. I had a blast.

I've only ever been to Knotts scary farm, and one thing I didn't notice until this video is how they usually have music playing in the mazes and in the cue to set the mood, and not hearing any of that in this video really threw me for a loop

they should have pirate ghosts, sea monsters, sharks that are like from jaws, gill man like swamp monsters and yetis

I have a feeling that I Could Finally See An Expedition For Mako And Manta Because Of Hal-o-Scream.

Great vlog Sam. I love the way you present this with history included.

10:40…Jackie looks like she was having a BALL! This actually looks a bit better than even the one at Busch Tampa (btw, just curious…how long will you be in the US this time, Sam? Covering any other events while you’re here?)

I like the ider of being able to have something that prevents the outside actors bothering you.

I'm really glad to hear that you enjoyed it. I purchased my tix for $35 last month and am excited to go for my first time. I'm a huge fan for HHN so I'll be looking forward to this Sea world event

For their 1st time i have seaworld did a great job to honest i got way more scares here than Halloween horror nights.

Lol I just got an ad for Sea World's Howl-O-Scream happening here in San Diego! Very odd as I don't know if they've ever done one before, at least not that I know of! Also, can another company use a Disney character like that if they didn't pay to use it? Because I feel Disney might try to sue them for that.

Here in SA, they only do half of the park to keep families there in Sesame Street Harbor. Since this is a separate ticket event, the possibility of a larger layout might be possible.

Sea world has definitely been trying to change their image ever since blackfish

For those of you younger than gen-x and who didn’t grow up in the Tampa Bay Area, ‘Dr Paul Bearer’ was this really creepy looking dude with a glass eyeball who hosted B-horror flicks on Tampa’s local network affiliate on Saturday afternoons. He used to drive around town in a hearse, and would sometimes make special appearances in said vehicle. All I can say was that he used to scare the living crap outta me!!! I remember having to run outta the room whenever he came on television, and plug my ears so I couldn’t hear his croaky voice. Still to this day, thinking of him gives me the chills!

I live in VA like 30 minutes away from Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Howl-O-Scream is always very well done..you can tell when they have the budget year from year

Hope you and Jackie had fun, I’d love to see you guys go to the UK for Halloween

Looks Great

Was on the fence about the event but you convinced me

I need the no scare necklace, but not for the event. I need it for everyday life!

These bars all look awesome

I'm checking out the event in San Diego.. can't wait!

That one pirate looks vaguely familiar... I can't put my finger on it tho...

Im from Tampa Bay and 38. I can remember the very first one at Bushgardens!!!

Another great video! What is your theme music? It’s so catchy and I want to hear more of it.

i like the way they did masks more than universal. seeing only some actors in masks, while face characters didnt wear them, kinda broke the immersion. the way that sea world had masks that look like faces or work with the characters worked way better imo

Masks are inherently creepy - not being able to see someone's expression - there seemed some good examples of using that creatively in here! But also some just "we all have to wear masks in public these days" masks which felt a bit... missed opportunity to do more.

To me the masks in general take the immersion away and reminds me that we are in the real world with our real world issues. Maybe in the dark they arent noticable tho.

i went to both hhn and howl o scream orlando this year and honestly- i think i enjoyed howl o scream more there was less going on but that was kind of a good thing? it meant i could actually do everything unlike with hhn. i couldnt do close to everything in hhn and it sucked the scare actors were also a lot more interactive and fun in howl o scream and the houses were just, way better, much more suspenseful and felt like they werent just relying on jumpscares as much

16:37 I smell a lawsuit!

Hey, Expedition Theme Park! Please do the History of Shockwave at Six Flags Great America?

So, uhhhhh, how does the copyright on that Pirates of the Carribean stuff work here?

I worked in the attraction called 13 at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in 2011

you should do a video on knotts scary farm! it’s my childhood park and im sure it would make an awesome video! you rock🌟✨👽

I’m so excited 😆 that you’re finally back in Florida I cannot wait for Super Enthused and Expedition Theme park Podcast and pretty soon Ice Breaker is gonna open soon just before you know it.

12:09 have you heard about your cars extended warranty?

They were supposed to have 5 Houses when the event started, but they didn't get the permits in on time. It was supposed to be a house for each Siren.

Is seaworld “ borrowing “ Jack Sparrow from Disney or something? I always wonder if copyright from the parks doesn’t effect costumes for halloween

Ok but Atlantis would be the perfect ride for this night. They really missed that opportunity. But I get that it was supposed to be small

They really seem to have stepped up their game. Their houses have great sets, enthusiastic actors, and very nice costuming. The mask integration is great too, and nicely innovative (although I would have liked to have seen the people in black masks have the airbrushed ones too). If there's one deficiency that stood out to me, it's the sound design (or rather the lack thereof) in the houses. I heard a few sound effects, here and there, but they really should deepen their sound design a bit because some of the rooms/areas seem almost dead (and not in a good way) because there seems to be no ambient music or sound aside from what the actors are producing themselves, plus the occasional scare effect.

They probably could have made this event scarier for really cheap by just continually playing Blackfish.

These mazes are all so weirdly quiet. I’ve never seen one where between each room/scare is just awkward silence lol

I hope one day I can visit these American Halloween events. Only been to Halloween Nights Toverland and Fright Nights Walibi
