2005 – NETHERWORLD Haunted House Year 9
Year 9 2005 featured 3 shows, Abomination, Terror on Tiki Island in 3D, and Slaughterhouse. In Abomination an aquatic warlord of the Dark Ones emerges from the ocean to lead monstrosities into battle! This show featured an incredibly complex creature suit, new massive animatronic monsters and a season that saw the success of the haunt continue to grow. The IAAPA entertainment expo was also in Atlanta this year and NETHERWORLD was able to open for the amusement industry and fellow haunters. Terror on Tiki Island in 3D featured amazing artwork that captured the beauty and horror of a lush tropical island gone mad, and Slaughterhouse explored the dark evil at work in the depths of a long abandoned meat packing facility.
Check back soon for a further look into the twenty year history of NETHERWORLD Haunted House!
ABOMINATION
From the foulest pits of the NETHERWORLD surge a horde of Huge Savage Monsters! Massive brutal things coursing with evil intelligence hunt humans and drag them away ALIVE, screaming into the darkness! Lead by a Nightmarish WARLORD, these things cannot be stopped, unless the books that summoned them are destroyed! Can they be defeated before the hideous ABOMINATION they serve infects all mankind?
TERROR ON TIKI ISLAND
Shipwrecked on an island of mystery, you hear the sounds of drums in the darkness! Ancient idols carved from volcanic rock glare from the shadows as you race through the jungle. Wild animals and deadly head hunters stalk you at every turn!
At last you reach a massive Stone God lurking behind a bloodstained altar. The ritual can now begin…the sacrifice has arrived!
SLAUGHTERHOUSE
What lurks in Mann’s abandoned meat processing plant?
Local teens say that the place, long ago closed for selling tainted meat, still runs on moonless nights. Some believe an inbred tribe of cannibal squatters hides in the twisted corridors, packing their latest victims into cans for later feasting!
Bribing the old security guard, you creep into this monument of urban decay, eager to uncover the secrets of the place. And you never return!
