The wait is over! This weekend, NETHERWORLD Haunted House opens its doors for its 30th Season of Screams, marking three decades of legendary monsters, cinematic storytelling and larger-than-life Halloween entertainment. The milestone season kicks off Sept. 18–19 with two all-new haunted experiences, CURSE OF THE COLLECTOR and BEYOND OBLIVION: LEGACY OF EVIL, alongside NETHERWORLD’s Halloween Midway, House of Creeps Monster Museum and five year-round Escape the NETHERWORLD escape games.

For 30 years, NETHERWORLD has pushed the boundaries of the haunted attraction experience with unthinkable sets, original characters, award-winning makeup, elaborate costuming, skilled stunt performers, and blockbuster-style special effects. The 30th Season of Screams brings that legacy together with new stories, returning characters, iconic creatures and massive new environments created specifically for this milestone season.

“Opening weekend is when all of the ideas, designs and 12 months of work finally become real,” said Ben Armstrong, co-creator of NETHERWORLD Haunted House. “There’s something incredibly rewarding about standing outside the attractions and watching guests experience these worlds for the first time. This year is especially meaningful because we’re celebrating 30 seasons, so we’ve packed these haunts with pieces of NETHERWORLD’s history while creating plenty of new surprises.”

More details on this year’s haunts:

CURSE OF THE COLLECTOR: The 30th anniversary season begins with an epic supernatural battle that brings together some of the most recognizable characters and creatures from NETHERWORLD’s expansive history.

The primordial soul-gathering entity known as The Collector has rebelled against the masters of the NETHERWORLD in a desperate attempt to destroy the ancient gateway connecting their realm to ours. Joining forces with The Brotherhood’s Frankensteinian warriors, savage werewolves, the Halloween-loving Children of Autumn and his own discarded Husks, The Collector wages war against gargoyles, gorgons, vampires, the Army of the Dead and the towering Undying in a battle that could determine the fate of humanity.

Guests will journey through scenes inspired by legendary NETHERWORLD moments, including The Invasion of the Gargoyles, The Burrower Beneath, The Colossal Undying, The Crawling Eyes, The Devastating Warbots, The Night of the Gorgons, The Halloween Treehouse of Horrors, Jack the Pumpkin Eater, The Library of the Lost, The Vengeance of the Vampires, The Arena of the Dead, The Battle of the Titans and dozens more encounters pulled from across NETHERWORLD’s history.

BEYOND OBLIVION: LEGACY OF EVIL: The adventure continues inside BEYOND OBLIVION: LEGACY OF EVIL, the largest second attraction NETHERWORLD has ever produced.

Powered by the corrupting energy of Oblivion, the infamous Mangler launches his most ambitious experiment yet. Inside a grotesque world of laboratories, slaughterhouses, swamps, abandoned towns and forgotten horrors, captured cryptids are processed into twisted food products while mutant insects, cursed experiments and supernatural creatures become part of The Mangler’s ultimate masterpiece: a decades-long experiment representing his Legacy of Evil.

Guests will encounter The Slaughterhouse of the Cryptids, The Hive, Necrotech Labs, Zombie Rampage, The Haunted Harkness House, Lost in the Forest, Hunted by Bigfoot, Madame Mystique’s House of Voodoo, The Hospital of Horrors, The Realm of the Render, The Behemoth Boogeyman, The Bottomless Pit of Doom and countless new nightmares created exclusively for the anniversary season.

BEYOND THE HAUNTS…
The Halloween experience continues outside the attractions with NETHERWORLD’s elaborate Halloween Midway, featuring towering jack-o’-lantern displays, roaming monsters, themed photo opportunities, games, mini escape games, and fan-favorite treats.

Guests can enjoy Dr. Octane’s Bizarre Beverages, Zombie Rampage Energy Drink, cotton candy, “Blood Bags,” gourmet popcorn, Dippin’ Dots, barbecue sandwiches, pretzels, nachos, mini donuts, vegan corndogs, and more.

For even more adventure, guests can visit Escape the NETHERWORLD, featuring five year-round escape games, including the newest and most intense experience to date, Alien Terror. Escape the NETHERWORLD operates every day and night the haunted house is open during the Halloween season, with tickets sold separately.

The House of Creeps Monster Museum also returns, offering fans a chance to explore rare movie props, iconic NETHERWORLD memorabilia, and monstrous creations beyond the haunted houses.

And for fans looking to take a piece of NETHERWORLD home, the NETHERWORLD gift shop is an emporium of spooky goodness for die-hard fans and collectors who love all things scary. Guests can browse a treasure trove of NETHERWORLD merchandise, dark décor, creepy collectibles, and more.
