[Howl-O-Scream]/Can You Escape #2: The Torturer and Pain Lane?

Busch Gardens Tampa really isn't letting up with the pace that they've been on lately with unveiling "The 13" and mazes that accompany them for this year's Howl-O-Scream event. Yesterday we had the reveal of #9: The Zombie and today we get to see what's behind door #2, The Torturer.

Which, I didn't fully see coming...but I was close. I mean, Zombie Redneck Torture Family is pretty close to Torturer, right?

Anyway, as opposed to what Universal Orlando's HHN is doing this year (as I literally just wrote about), Busch Gardens is going the opposite route and putting a new spin on the classics! So, just what do the folks at Busch have in store for us? Let's find out:

A flickering light bulb and the sound of water draining is your only company in this room. You can’t move. Your hands and legs are bound. 

How did you find yourself here? More importantly, how do you escape? Duct tape covers your mouth to prevent you from screaming for help. Would anyone even hear? Is anyone here? Footsteps. 

Then, the door opens. As the light flickers on an off you see a large figure, covered in a long black protective coat. His mask, complete with spikes.

Terrified you try everything to scream, to break free. He has you now. You are in his land of pain-inducing devices and this is his art. 

#2 The Torturer. A frightening connoisseur of cruelty.

Sounds like the kind of guy that you want to invite to your next party, eh? Well, okay...maybe not. He does seem a bit engaged with his own lair of evil to preside over, Pain Lane. Though, he's not doing it alone. Oh no, he's got help...our friend The Hangman seems to be hanging about here as well...

Torture, torment and pain line this sinister street as the #13 Torturer and #12 Hangman stalk their prey in the shadows of this dark and sinister alley.

Here, pain-inducing devices are the toys of the twisted and screams are surrounded by haunting silence. Will you escape this playground of pain before the #13 Torturer and #12 Hangman find you?

So, there ya have it...only two of "The 13" are left to be revealed and I'm guessing some more maze announcements will be coming along for the ride. Will they get their own houses? Will there be more house announcements down the road linking previous Evils to them? Can't say for sure but stick around to find out as we do!

Care to wager a guess for what's next, because I honestly have no earthly idea at this point!
