2000 – Year Four of NETHERWORLD Haunted House!
Our main theme in 2000 was Primeval, a storyline based on time travel and prehistoric creatures. It was quite a challenge for the artists and crew of NETHERWORLD to come up with dinosaurs, man eating plants, massive spiders, beast men, saurian warriors and all manner of ancient evils to populate the world of PRIMEVAL, with most of the props and creatures being made completely custom for the event. This year also had NETHERWORLD”s second exploration into wild visual effects seen through ChromaDepth glasses called the EXTREME 3D Haunted Mansion, and for the first time an additional haunt was constructed and run off site at another location several miles away. This event was known as BLOODFEAST, and featured a guided tour of a replica medieval torture chamber complete with extremely gory props and very twisted scares. The year 2000 was a very successful one but the difficultly in running two different locations made the season crazier than most! In the years to come as NETHERWORLD grew larger and took more square footage in the Georgia Antique Center the decision was made to keep everything in only ONE location!

The Terror Surrounds You!
“The Dead have returned to torture the Living… to gulp down their blood and feast on their flesh!”
In 1982, a wall in the catacombs of Glamis Castle in Scotland was removed during restoration and renovation. Sealed behind it was a horrific torture chamber, complete with the mummified remains of its final victims. When the chamber was purchased by a wealthy businessman in 1994, it was moved to the United States and displayed in his wine cellar to amuse guests at his Halloween Party.
What occurred on that night will shock you, disgust you and might even kill you!
Because Tonight It Happens Again!
