The scares, screams and moaning won't start until nighttime, so no worries about hearing "daytime music" mixed with a "scary haunt"!

TheBeautifulPeople said:Cool! It's gonna be a really fun fall I can tell.
So what you're saying is that there's going to be a dash of scary music thrown in, in the daytime? I don't like that.
I like the transformation from day to night, it's really magical!
Anyways- it's always the month of August that they start setting up, so that's really exciting! It's really hard to believe that next month is Howl-O-Scream, I feel like this summer has been just rushed on by! But whatever, because obviously, this is going to be a great Howl-O-Scream![]()
Can't wait.
coasterfan94 said:I agree with the previous statements. It would kind of be like Retro Howl-O-Scream? However, Never After and Sleepy Hollow Manor were in the same spot. Oh, and what about last years mazes, which ones should come back? If they did do a Retro Howl-O-Scream, what mazes would you like to see come back?

Imagine, Busch Gardens Williamsburg being a destination for fear, terror and excitement! A place where, "NO WHERE IS SAFE". Where anybody, at any time can EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.
Where the entry in to the park is lined with purple, orange and green to set the initial mood. Into England where thousands of black birds watch every step you take. Where faceless people scatter around the country looking for a safe haven from the human-sized Birdman that stalks it's prey. The Birdman has had many victims this year, one of which is having a funeral right at the fountain in England. Maybe the faceless city-folk know how to save you!
Maybe Scotland can be home to a living cemetery? Hundreds of tombstones and ghosts in the trees and the pathways welcome you to your demise.
Ireland, I don't know what they'll do here. Maybe hundreds of hanging pumpkins suspended in mid-air to remind you that Jack is back and he's out to get you! His giant pumpkin centerpiece would surely be a great place to meet Jack, but maybe he'll bring a friend or two?
The Wildlife Reserve would be a great place to introduce one of the most popular animal-based fears of all - spiders. Webs everywhere - above and below you with spiders large and small moving up, down and around their dark lair in search of their next meal. Be careful, though. Spiders rarely keep still and tend to move around quite a bit when stalking their prey.
There was a Disney/Pixar movie a few years ago that had a rat named Remy. It was cute and made Paris look like a great place to live. But what would happen if those rats took over the city and set forth a plague that killed all mankind? Rats everywhere, dead bodies strewn across the land lay as a reminder that even one animal can make a difference in the world.
Many years ago Busch Gardens had men with chainsaws terrorizing Festa Italia. Clean up began in that city and the chainsaw men were no more. What if these men formed a new bond and grew their hatred for all mankind? What if this group had been raising new recruits behind closed doors - waiting for the exact moment to strike fear into the hearts of mankind? The Logging Camp in New France would make a great place for their wrath to be felt again. The area certainly lends itself to this kind of terror and the decor matches absolutely perfectly, wouldn't you say?
Festhaus Park has been home to many great haunts in recent years. So much so that they have become the 'cream of the Howl-O-Scream' crop. This year, I would hope, would be no exception! Maybe something called, "The Field of Screams" where a never-ending cornfield filled with creatures both dead and undead haunt you. A village torn asunder by years of neglect, death and decay. If it was ever buried here, it would come to life and make sure your living soul doesn't leave alive.
These are just some of "my ideas" of what might happen at Howl-O-Scream this year. I know, I have a very active imagination! I hope some of this could come true. Dare to dream, right?![]()
