[Haunts] Howl-O-Scream Digs Up a New Experience with Scarlett's VIP Scream Box for 2015!

This is a bit of surprise. Earlier today the folks behind Howl-O-Scream unveiled an all new layer to this year's event, Scarlett's VIP Scream Box. Sounds intriguing, right? There's a ton of interesting things inside the box, including some kind of trading card game and bunch of other items. So, let's get down to seeing just what you'll get.

For starters, the box will cost $49.95 and will only stick around for as long as supply lasts, so even the box itself is a limited edition on top of everything else in it. Pretty cool way to reward some of the super fans of the event out there.

Inside the box is an exclusive, limited edition, VIP t-shirt, lanyard, and pin that you won't be able to get anywhere else. On top of those items, there's also a free photo voucher as well as one for free games as well. Not bad, but the real interesting part is the card game that also comes in the box.

Each box will contain five unique cards, you can then trade and duel with friends or buy additional packs within the park to try and collect all 13 of the demons from the Hall of Horrors.

That's a pretty interesting take on things and really unique. I haven't seen anything like this and the art on the cards is pretty awesome as well. There's even a whole set of rules laid out for how to play the game too.

1. Draw a card to duel
2. Red kills yellow, yellow kills purple and purple kills red
3. If players bleed the same color, the highest card number wins. If two of the same card duel, draw again.
4. Scarlett trumps all unless two Scarletts duel, then draw again.
5. Winner takes the other player’s card and soul.

It's like some really odd version of WAR, for those of who you remember that one I'm down with that.

No word on how much the additional card packs will cost, but I'll try to find that out here and get that info out to you as soon as I can. 

Overall, it's a pretty cool concept and should be fun for those who take the plunge. Hopefully it's something they continue with future themes so that you can try and collect even more. I'm not even that fussed over the price for it that much as there's definitely value in it when you add up what the cost of things would be separately. So, that's a pretty big win as more customer bang for the buck is always a plus in my world.

Scarlett's VIP Scream Box is available for purchase at all three parks holding Howl-O-Scream this year. Yep, that's right. No matter if it's Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Busch Gardens Tampa or SeaWorld San Antonio, you can get your hands on one. However, right now they're only being sold online...I think. Not sure if they'll be available in the parks beforehand. I'll look into it and update things if I hear back.

What's more? Blair Witch Project Producer, Robin Cowie, did a little video to unveil things as well!


Now, for a few more pictures of just what's inside the box!
