One of my favorite annual Georgia attractions is
back!
As many of you know, hitting up the Netherworld
Haunted House (1313 Netherworld Way, Stone Mountain, Ga. 30087) is an
ongoing tradition for me and my homies! Especially awesome for double dates, I also
take friends and family, and make an awesome night of it. If you have some
folks in town, this is a great way to show off one of the most revered yearly attractions
in Georgia’s history to embrace the Halloween season! Now in its 26th year, Netherworld's 2022 theme is The Parasitic and Undying Horror!
For those who scare easy, let them know Netherworld is
more than a few hair-raising jumps and boos; look for a lot of technology, top-notch
actors, stellar costuming, and visual effects to stimulate the brain. For the
scare, see you there…if you dare!
Below is the official press release and information
including times, dates, location, etc., straight for the source. Netherworld is
open now until its closing weekend Nov.11-12.

ATLANTA: 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.
