What makes SeaWorld Orlando unique is it offers two separate Halloween events \u2014 one daytime event aimed at the little ones and a scarier nighttime event for teenagers and adults.\u00a0<\/p>\n

New this year is a special ticketed Hotel Transylvania\u2019s Monster Breakfast<\/a> where families can eat a buffet breakfast, see a high-energy dance show and then meet the mummy and other characters from the kids\u2019 beloved Halloween movie.<\/p>\n

Then SeaWorld\u2019s special ticketed nighttime Howl-O-Scream<\/a> is set to return starting Sept. 11 with five haunted houses and six scare zones. The most anticipated house is based off the Halloween classic \u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer.\u201d The event for teens and adults runs on select nights through Halloween.<\/p>\n
