NETHERWORLD RETURNS THIS FALL FOR ITS 27TH SEASON OF SCREAMS

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 9/4/23

Prepare to Encounter Two, New Terrifying Haunts: PRIMORDIAL and CRYPTID CHAOS


Sept. 22-23 and 29-30
Oct. 1, 5-8, 10-15, 17-31
Nov. 3-5, 10-11
Open nightly at 7 p.m., closing times will vary


 
 This September, the iron-bound doors of NETHERWORLD Haunted House will be groaning open once more to unveil the unspeakable horrors that lurk within! Celebrating its 27th Season of Screams, the acclaimed attraction returns with two new haunt themes during its Opening Weekend on Friday, Sept. 22 and Saturday, Sept. 23. The haunted attraction will also be open select dates in October and November.
 
After close to three decades the legendary NETHERWORLD continues to shock and amaze even the most experienced haunted house guests each year with its intricate sets, next-level special effects, and terrifyingly realistic monsters. Located in Stone Mountain, GA, fear fans from far and wide will gather to experience Atlanta’s ultimate Halloween event with two incredible haunted attractions, PRIMORDIAL and CRYPTID CHAOS! 
 
PRIMORDIAL is a continuation of The Undying Horror tale experienced by NETHERWORLD fans last year. This time, elemental beings of water, wind, Earth, and fire fueled by the energy of the gateway to the NETHERWORLD have emerged into our universe, seeking to destroy all of the Netherspawn that had arrived before them!    
 
In CRYPTID CHAOS, the nefarious Boogeyman has returned to create his own twisted world of living nightmares. To fulfill his nightmarish fantasy, he begins to drain the dark energy of the Cryptid Creatures imprisoned in a secret facility known as the BOX. But, before he can consume them, the creatures fight back, mutating the BOX staff into murderous urban legends and battling the Boogeyman to place a new Cryptid Creature at the top of the food chain!
 
With a passion for all things frightening and an expansive background in film, television, and the haunted attraction industry, the co-founders of NETHERWORLD, Ben Armstrong and Billy Messina, have consistently designed experiences that make horror lovers feel they’ve walked right into their most twisted nightmare, and this season, they’re taking the thrill up another level.
 
“This year’s haunts are totally overloaded with an insane amount of intense new experiences. Each season we always try to make the haunts even more over the top, but this year is just crazy!” said Armstrong. “We’re excited for our fans and newcomers to experience the WOW moments that both of our new haunts are guaranteed to bring!”
 
Fearless mortals who make it through the haunted houses will encounter a treat waiting for them after they exit, the Halloween festival-styled Midway. Patrons will be greeted by roaming creatures, a massive dragon, huge jack-o-lanterns, and Instagram-worthy photo ops. Food options galore will also be available, including demented donuts, hot dogs, nachos, gourmet popcorn and NEW this year: fudge, pretzels, and bratwurst. Guests can also get their hands on last year’s fan-favorite, Dr. Octane’s Bizarre Beverages, where the sinister mad scientist Dr. Octane will serve up several flavors of tasty non-alcoholic bubbling concoctions featuring swirls of colors!
 
If you dare, continue reading to learn more about this year’s two new haunts: 
 
PRIMORDIAL: To prevent the Undying Horror from birthing an endless horde of hideous monsters, the gateway to the NETHERWORLD from which it drew its energy was diverted to a hidden universe of ELEMENTAL power by the Brotherhood of Rhomb. Suddenly, beings of water, wind, Earth, and fire began emerging into our world seeking to destroy all of the Netherspawn that had arrived before them. Will this battle finally end the evil from the NETHERWORLD or will all of mankind and the NETHERWORLD fall to the PRIMORDIAL power that has been set free?
 
Featuring: The Sunken City of Horrors, The Lure of the Mermaids, Crushed by the Kraken, Massacred by the Mammoth, The Frozen Tombs of Whyshburg, Battered by the Beast Men, Stone Golems of Earth and Lava, Shrine of the Zombie Queen, Incinerated by the Fire Demons, In the Cave of the Dragon, Temple of the Bat Beasts and the Pit of the Demiurge and more out of control, amped up, enraged, elemental action than your fragile mind can comprehend!
 
CRYPTID CHAOS: To bring a world of living nightmares into physical reality, the dream stalker known as the Boogeyman needed massive amounts of dark energy from the unfathomable realms of its origin. Twisting and infecting the thoughts of the scientists at the secret facility known as the BOX, it tricked them into collecting Cryptids, creatures of myth and legend from all over the world and trapping them so that it could feed on their power and grow strong beyond all comprehension. But these weird entities fought back, transforming the staff into urban legends, and engaging the Boogeyman in a Battle Royale to place a new Cryptid Creature at the top of the food chain!
 
Featuring: Chupacabra Chaos, The Mothman Massacre, The Yeti in Chains, Trampled by the Jersey Devil, Flight of the Banshee, The Mongolian Death Worm, Haunted by the Hellhound, The Wail of the Sirenhead, The Prey of Pigzilla, Threatened by the Thunderbird, The Sinister Surgeries of Dr. Squid, Death by the Dog Man, The Lair of the Lake Monster and the Nightmare World of the Boogeyman.

The most highly-acclaimed and terrifying haunted house in the nation, NETHERWORLD Haunted House, is set to make its return during its Opening Weekend this Friday, Sept. 23 and Saturday, Sept. 24 with two nightmarish haunts and plenty of thrilling new additions to its Halloween themed Midway!

This year, thrill seekers will get the scare of their lives at NETHERWORLD’S PARASITIC and THE UNDYING HORROR haunted houses. In THE UNDYING HORROR, visitors will try to escape a massive world-destroying ancient monster and its wraithlike army, and in PARASITIC, guests will confront the mind-controlling spores and carnivorous chlorophyll creatures unleashed by a nefarious plant-based life form filled with the twisted power from last year’s Planet X!

“Both of our haunts this year blend elements of our previous stories into brand new tales, even more intense than the ones that came before them,” said NETHERWORLD Co-Founder Ben Armstrong. “The UNDYING HORROR is a continuation of the COSMIC HORROR saga that began when we first moved to Stone Mountain, and PARASITIC is a story of science gone wrong that features weird plant-based mutations of one of our classic characters, The Harvestman.”

Between the houses, NETHERWORLD has a new option for those who want to join in on the fright called “You Scare.” In this experience, true horror-lovers will get their shot at playing the villain by using a paintball gun, dubbed the “scare blaster,” to shoot paint at an unbreakable see-through barrier, startling those in line for the second haunted house.

In addition to both blood-curling haunts and “You Scare,” NETHERWORLD is launching a laser-based horror survival add-on experience for the first time ever. Titled “Alien Terror,” the experience will put NETHERWORLD adventurers face-to-face with an extraterrestrial monster that has one goal: to turn every player in the game into one of its evil minions with its laser weapon. The official opening date for this experience is to be announced, so stay tuned for more information!

The adventure continues with NETHERWORLD’s updated Midway experience, a Halloween-drenched area that attendees can explore featuring a myriad of creepy photo ops (including a huge new skeletal dragon), roaming creatures aplenty, and a variety of food options including hot dogs, nachos, demented donuts, and gourmet popcorn in flavors like classic butter and hot and spicy. This year NETHERWORLD is also introducing Dr. Octane’s Bizarre Beverages, where the sinister mad scientist Dr. Octane will serve up non-alcoholic bubbling concoctions featuring swirls of colors perfect for a share-worthy video!

“We are incredibly excited for veteran NETHERWORLD fans and first-timers alike to experience everything that we have to offer this year,” said NETHERWORLD Co-Founder Billy Messina. “Our goal has always been to provide visitors with a seasonal Halloween experience that’s beyond compare…and with all the upgrades we’ve made this year, both inside and outside the haunts, we hope that folks will feel that we’ve done exactly that.”

NETHERWORLD Haunted House will be open beginning the weekend of Sept. 23–24, then most dates through Halloween and weekends in November until the closing weekend on Nov. 11–12. Tickets are on sale now. For more details on the haunts and new additions and to buy tickets, visit www.fearworld.com

THE UNDYING HORROR: Concealed in the chaos of a deadly storm, an ancient monstrosity launches massive tentacles to the surface world corrupting everything they touch! Can a battle-worn group of survivors fight their way past the legions of Wraiths and Netherspawn to defeat this nightmarish creature or will the world fall to The Undying Horror?   

Featuring: Warlike Wraiths, Rampaging Netherspawn, The Weird Lab of Dr. Squid, The Old One Arises, The Emergence of the Undying, The Monster-Infested Netherscape, The Undead Army of the Zombie Queen, The Swirling Mists of Zin, The Massive Tentacles of Ubbo Sathla, The Bone Beasts of Carcosa and Face to Face with the Undying Horror! A massive feast of nightmares invades a shattered planet as NETHERWORLD charges headlong into its 26th Season of Screams swarming with supercharged apocalyptic action!   

PARASITIC: A bizarre Parasitic plant-based life form filled with the twisted power of Planet X and grown on a discarded husk of The Harvestman springs to unnatural life in the top-secret facility known as the BOX! After infecting the staff with mind-controlling spores and unleashing an army of carnivorous plant and fungus-based creatures, it seeks vengeance on its foolish captors before attempting to escape into the world of men!  

Featuring: The Fungal Zombies, The Pit of The Green Slime, The Worm that Gnaws, The Monster that Challenged the World, Swamp Beast Horror, Deadly Nightshade, The Chlorophyll Killers, The Bloody Massacre of the Mutilated, Exo Biological Evil Unleashed, The Primeval Pawns of the Parasite, The Nightmare Run and Get to the Chopper!

Now is their chance to get the full experience up close and personal and to deeply explore what makes NETHERWORLD a must visit year after year!”

Then, on Saturday, Dec. 18, back by popular demand, NETHERWORLD will undergo a holiday transformation and reopen for one night only for A Haunted Holiday.

Haunt fans, the scariest season of the year has arrived! NETHERWORLD Haunted House officially returns for its 25th year of next-level thrills and chills. Opening this weekend, only the bravest souls will experience the unforgettable pulse-pounding horror featured in two brand-new haunts, RISE OF THE NETHERSPAWN and RETURN TO PLANET X in 3D, from co-creators Billy Messina and Ben Armstrong.

“This milestone is one that not only are we proud of, we’re also grateful to all the guests near and far who have experienced NETHERWORLD the last 25 years,” said Armstrong. “This year has us looking back and celebrating our history with some of our classic characters from years past combined with new themes featuring brand new monsters and intriguing storylines, all housed in our two massive and immersive haunts. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the 2021 season!”

This year’s themes include:

RISE OF THE NETHERSPAWN:
Fulfilling the wishes of The Collector, a primordial monster known as The Ganoga will summon the twins, FEAR and TERROR, to lead an invasion of hideous creatures from the NETHERWORLD! Bone-crunching Berserkers and flesh-rending Rabid lead the charge, hidden deep within the swirling mists and flashing lightning of a colossal storm of shadows! Will the maelstrom conceal the crawling horrors from their helpless victims, or will they glimpse the RISE OF THE NETHERSPAWN in time to flee for their lives?

Featuring: The Storm of Shadows, Trapped in the Wreckage, the Fisherman’s Nightmare, Eaten by the Old Ones, the Collector’s Crypt, the Starving Skull, the Jaws of Fate, the Swamp of the Lost, the Maggots of Madness, the Rage of the Rabid, the Berserkers Revenge, the Goblin Horde, the Court of the Warlord and the Soul Eater Unleashed! Twenty-five years of never-ending nightmares culminates in this apocalyptic festival of destruction as guests witness the RISE OF THE NETHERSPAWN!

RETURN TO PLANET X:
In the secret base known as the BOX, an experiment gone wrong has broken down the very fabric of time and space releasing bizarrely colorful mutagenic energy through dimensional gateways all over the facility! Weird, malevolent life forms stalk victims throughout the complex and the very fabric of reality is crumbling. Exobiologist, Dr. Otto Gloman, has gone into the rift equipped with a powered space suit, to stop the horror and force it to RETURN TO PLANET X in 3D! Guests will put on special 3D glasses and help him defeat this bizarre invasion before it consumes the entire planet.

Featuring: The Ghastly Gloaming, the Horror of the Hunes, the Malevolent Mutations, the Power of the Pyramid, the Secrets of the Serpent Men, the Paradox of Planet X, the Revenge of the Reptilians, the Primal Polymorphs, the Color Out of Space, the Mega Xeno Arthropod and the Nightmares from Beyond Time! Those who are brave enough to join the daunting mission will be pressured to retain a fragile grip on reality while viewing this world of horror through 3D glasses as they RETURN TO PLANET X.

Recently dubbed “scariest haunted house” by Oprah Magazine for the second year in a row, NETHERWORLD has built a loyal cult-following over the past 25 years and is beloved for its Hollywood-quality special effects, cutting-edge themes, elaborate sets, and nightmare-inducing monsters. In 2018, the team planted roots in Stone Mountain on a 10+ acre property, allowing room for expansion beyond the seasonal haunts. Open year-round, NETHERWORLD offers four adrenaline-inducing Escape Room Games, a Laser Tag Arena, and a monster museum. Haunt tickets are on sale now and attendees won’t want to miss it. During Halloween season, Escape the NETHERWORLD will also operate every day and night that the haunts are open. These tickets are sold separately at www.escapethenetherworld.com.

ATLANTA: Haunt fans, the time has finally arrived – NETHERWORLD has returned for its third year in Stone Mountain and 24th year on the haunt scene, and now has its very own street name, 1313 Netherworld Way! After the success of sneak peek weekend on Sept. 25 and 26, this season’s two attractions, HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARES and CYBORG SHOCK, are ready to provide the mix of terrifying moments and exhilarating fun guests expect every year from this over-the-top Halloween event. Visitors will dive into two distinctly different scary experiences swarming with unique creatures, sets, and special effects, then explore new outdoor areas like The Festival of Monsters.

“Our entire crew has been working tirelessly to make this season’s haunts as thrilling and impressive as possible, and we are excited to finally announce our full calendar for the 2020 season,” said Billy Messina, NETHERWORLD Haunted House co-creator. “Along with delivering an incredible experience for our guests, we are dedicated to maintaining a safe environment for both our staff and guests alike. With a full slate of carefully planned COVID-19 policies and procedures in effect, such as limiting capacity and timing entry to allow for social distancing, this year is sure to be just as safe as it is spooky.”

Known for intense special effects, state-of-the-art makeup and incredibly elaborate sets, NETHERWORLD has built and maintained a loyal following over the last 24 years, and this season the haunt has already been ranked as one of “10 of the Scariest Haunted Houses in America” by O, The Oprah Magazine.

Despite COVID-19 related changes, guests can expect this year to be as thrilling and entertaining as ever.

COVID-19 Policies:
NETHERWORLD will be enacting a myriad of new safety measures, among the most obvious will be:

  • Masks required for all staff and guests
  • Greatly reduced capacity and timed/dated tickets to allow for social distancing
  • Contactless temperature screenings for all staff and guests
  • Enhanced cleaning and sanitizing procedures along with a multitude of available hand sanitizer/washing stations

2020 Ticketing:
Given the greatly reduced number of available tickets for the 2020 haunt season, guests are strongly encouraged to purchase tickets online and well in advance as timeslots will sell out. In addition, all tickets will grant access to both HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARES and CYBORG SHOCK, and guests will be directed from one haunt directly into the other to maintain single direction flow and allow for better social distancing.

Timed entry tickets allow guests access to the queue lines during a designated 30-minute timeslot. Up to one half hour before the designated timeslot begins, guests can wait in a socially distanced pre-queue area. Guests should not arrive earlier, if they do, it is suggested that they wait in their vehicle until 30 minutes before the time designated on their tickets. Additionally, SpeedPasses, which are also timed, are available and offer guests a convenience above and beyond that of a regular timed ticket, allowing entry at a greatly expedited pace. At the conclusion of both haunts, all guests will have access to the newly expanded Midway area.

HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARES:

Based on classic harvest and horror themes, HALLOWEEN NIGHTMARES’ story begins over one hundred years ago when the survivors of a brutal family feud sought vengeance against another mountain clan. Utilizing evil powers stolen from monsters beneath the earth, they were transformed into savage bat-like creatures and slaughtered their enemies on Halloween night! This Halloween, these subterrain monsters have resurfaced once more, disguised as distorted costumed revelers bent on bringing destruction to the cursed town of Whyshburg! Guests can expect eerie shadow creatures, legions of grinning jack-o’-lanterns, the Lair of the Ancient Alchemist, the Chamber of the Elder Thing and the Temple of the Bat God. Prepare for more vintage Halloween horror than one’s melted mind can handle!

CYBORG SHOCK:

Can guests survive the Robot Rampage? A strange metallic obelisk of unknown origin stored in a secret facility known as the BOX has blasted out an electromagnetic pulse and seized control of the entire base. Now the robotics and cloning sections have begun creating nightmarish Cyborgs, half metal and half flesh, animated by a strange energy emanating from the artifact. This army of hybrid horrors is making its way to the surface armed with the most advanced weaponry imaginable, bent on total domination! Can guests halt this menace before they escape to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world?
