Watch out! Busch Gardens’ newest haunted attractions are jumping out from the dark.

The park’s Howl-O-Scream returns this fall for its 20th anniversary with new haunted attractions, according to a SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment press release.

To mark the anniversary, Busch Gardens is introducing a “new Era of Terror” that includes a new haunted house and a new scare zone.

Demented Dimensions is the name of the newest haunted house in Oktoberfest. When guests enter, they’ll walk through a portal to another realm where humans are hunted.

The Royal Palace has a new king, and his jesters will terrorize unsuspecting park guests who wander into the new Fools’ Court scare zone terror-tory in France.

Howl-O-Scream debuts September 15 and runs select dates through October 28. Haunts and ghouls come out at 6 p.m. and the event is included with park admission.

More attractions will be revealed on July 20 and August 20.

A second Terror-tory, another haunted house and the No Escape Room will be announced in July, with a third haunted house, bars, party zones and other “frightening features” being revealed in August.

Including attractions returning from previous years, Howl-O-Scream will offer seven total haunted houses, six Terror-tories, five bars, two party zones and two escape-room experiences.

Guests can also check out the park’s three Howl-O-Scream shows.

Tickets can be purchased at Busch Gardens’ website.
