ATLANTA: Stone Mountain, GA-based NETHERWORLD Haunted House opens for haunt fans and thrill seekers for the first time this season on Friday, September 27, and Saturday, September 28. Known worldwide for their nightmare-inducing haunted houses, NETHERWORLD‘s terrifying themes for this year’s haunted houses, NIGHT OF THE GORGON and COLD BLOODED, are sure to shock those brave enough to enter.

“We saw amazing potential in this year’s haunt themes to delve into areas that we hadn’t experimented with before,” said NETHERWORLD Co-Founder Ben Armstrong. “NETHERWORLD is known for innovation in the haunted house industry, and with crazy new scares, stunning sets and jaw dropping effects, this season is going to show that creativity once again. Opening weekend is right around the corner, and we are looking forward to blowing visitors’ minds with how twisted these haunts really are. That is what NETHERWORLD is all about!”

More about this year’s two haunts:

NIGHT OF THE GORGON: The slightest glimpse of the nightmarish Gorgon in Eliza Whyshman’s accursed mirror is a fate worse than death! Now an apocalyptic cult is using this evil power to create an army of stone warriors to crush any who dare oppose them. Will they succeed in defeating the forces of darkness with these unstoppable warriors or will an unnamable horror from the depths of the mountain be released by their abuse of power? Flee for your lives before the sun sets on the NIGHT OF THE GORGON!

Featuring: The Massive Thing from the Deep, the Bone-Crunching Stone Colossus, the All-Seeing Terrors from the Sky, the Unspeakable Nightmare from Below, the Invasion of the Gorgonoids, the Behemoth’s Collapsing Cavern, the Twisting Mirrors of Zin, the Curse of Ghatanothoa, the Medusan Warriors, the Petrified Legions, and more massive monster action, shocking scares and incredible sets and effects than ever before will leave you astounded in NIGHT OF THE GORGON!

COLD BLOODED: In the advanced research facility known as The Box, the order has been given to weaponize cloned prehistoric lifeforms spliced with the DNA of reptilian alien subjects. Will this twisted experimentation create a new form of warrior able to win on any battlefield or is the entire project being manipulated by inhuman forces dedicated to the subjugation of mankind? One thing is certain: the results are savage, extremely dangerous, virtually unstoppable, and absolutely COLD BLOODED!

Featuring: The Secrets of The Reptilians, dark experiments run amok, the Serpent from the Sewer, the Terror Pteranodon, massive flesh-eating dinosaurs, parasitic horrors, the Million-Year-Old Blood Beast, the Mutated Battle Warriors, an escape of the Titanosaur, the Hybrid from the Spawning Vats, the Wraith of the Lizard Men, and advanced technology clashes with prehistoric rage in the pulse pounding COLD BLOODED!

In addition to the new haunted attractions, guests will be able to choose from four highly-detailed Escape Games (www.EscapeTheNetherworld.com), the all new NETHERWORLD Laser Adventure Battle Arena (www.NetherworldLaser.com), a monster museum dubbed “House of Creeps,” a new photo souvenir system, even more cool gift shop merchandise, and a massive carnival-like midway with expanded food and beverage options.

Along with the announcement of this year’s haunt themes, NETHERWORLD is also unveiling new ticketing options, including General Admission, Speed Pass and Timed Tickets. Prices vary by date with several value-priced options available.

“The new ticketing format will give visitors options that will fit every lifestyle,” said Co-Founder Billy Messina. “A limited inventory of Timed Tickets each hour will allow timed access to a short inside queue for those who like to plan ahead. General Admission tickets are the most inexpensive choice, and of course, Speed Passes will allow guests the fastest entry to the haunts.”

The haunts will open the weekend of September 27 – 28, will be open nightly October 4 – November 3, and closing weekend will be November 8 – 9. Tickets are on sale now. For more details and to buy your tickets, Click Here

NETHERWORLD HAUNTED HOUSE EXPANDS YEAR-ROUND IMMERSIVE ENTERTAINMENT
OPTIONS WITH NEW LASER TAG ARENA AND FOURTH ESCAPE ROOM

With a Post-Apocalyptic Themed Laser Tag Battle Arena and Tiki Themed Escape Room,
NETHERWORLD Brings Even More Interactive Entertainment to Its Stone Mountain Location

ATLANTA: NETHERWORLD Haunted House, known worldwide for its legendary haunted houses, is adding to its year-round offerings on Saturday, August 3 with a new laser tag attraction and a fourth addition to its escape room games.

With the launch of Laser Adventure Battle Arena at NETHERWORLD, those seeking a live video game like experience can now find a new way to test their brains and athletic abilities. After moving to the larger, 9.5-acre Stone Mountain complex last year, the Atlanta-based institution, formerly located in Norcross for more than two decades, has expanded its attractions for thrill seekers and daredevil enthusiasts alike with the opening of its new laser tag arena.

Located at NETHERWORLD Haunted House, the post-apocalypse themed game will feature advanced laser tag battle rifles and a complex outdoor arena complete with mazes, forts, and other interactive elements designed to challenge players. Each battle can hold up to 24 participants, and the attraction, unlike the seasonal haunted house, will be open year-round. Competitions will primarily be held in the evening, which will enhance the eeriness and add to the thrill of the game.

“Our plan has always been to own a bigger venue and create an ever-growing entertainment complex for our guests. Now that we’ve been in our space for a year, we have been able to expand our year-round activities and offer even more options,” said NETHERWORLD Co-Founder Ben Armstrong. “We saw the massive amount of space and thought it’d be perfect to create the ultimate laser tag arena. There’s everything from complex mazes, abandoned buildings, video game style reward boxes and a huge variety of different battle modes that visitors are going to love! As we near haunt season, we just might add some of our live monsters to the mix to up the scare factor. I think it’ll truly be a great addition to the NETHERWORLD experience.”

The battle arena will be open every Saturday night and available for special advanced bookings for events seven days a week. Those interested in booking can visit www.NetherworldLaser.com or call 678-580-5642 to reserve spots. When haunt season begins, the hours will shift to be the same as those of the haunted house, and there will be a shorter 15-minute version of the laser tag attraction, which will be first come first served.

August 3 also marks the official opening of a brand-new escape room at Escape the NETHERWORLD. The new experience, titled Tiki Island: Attack of The Shark God! will be the fourth escape room at the venue and joins the trio of award-winning rooms that have already become highly respected in the escape game industry – Sasquatch: Bigfoot’s Revenge, Nosferatu: Van Helsing’s Secret, and Haunted: Curse of The Night Hag.

In Tiki Island: Attack of The Shark God! participants will forget they’re in Georgia and will be transported to a beautiful island paradise, perfect for anyone who wants a different way to experience the retro tiki resurgence that has been growing throughout the country. At the beginning of the game, guests will arrive just before sunrise to a party hosted by an infamous archaeologist and surfer, Dr. Jake Graffenburg, on the Hawaiian island of Maui. However, they will quickly realize this isn’t a typical beach luau. Instead, participants are plunged headlong into a raging battle between ancient Polynesian spirits. In order to restore the peace, the sacred artifact of Lono must be returned to its proper place before the evil shark god of Molokai summons a storm and drags everyone beneath the waves! Players will have one hour to solve uniquely themed puzzles and discover the many secrets of Tiki Island!

“We’re really looking forward to entertaining even more people throughout the year, especially those who haven’t previously visited us because haunted houses just aren’t their thing,” said Co-Founder Billy Messina. “Both the laser adventure and the escape rooms are perfect activities for birthday parties, corporate events, team building, and for just a good time with friends. We’ve seen many of the same devoted fans over the years at our haunted house, but now we’re excited to welcome a whole new crop of fun-seekers who’ve yet to experience our unique brand of entertainment.”

The Escape Rooms are open Fridays 5:30pm-11:00pm, Saturdays 3:30pm-11:00pm, and Sundays 3:30pm-9:00pm. For more details and to buy your tickets, visit www.escapethenetherworld.com. A minimum of two players is required to play. NETHERWORLD recommends at least four people take on the challenge, and no more than eight may take part in any one game. Special larger bookings are also available upon request.
