The Legendary Dragon Con is happening here in Atlanta thru Monday, September 6th. NETHERWORLD will be there as we have every year since before we even opened our doors. Did you know that the very first NETHERWORLD actually happened at Dragon Con? It was a greatly scaled down version of what our haunt was to become, but it was loads of fun and it gave us all a great boost of confidence moving into our inaugural season…Tom Savini even visited…now that was a thrill!
NETHERWORLD will once again be sponsoring the Dragon Con Horror Track and will once again have a big presence in the epic Dragon Con Parade. Dragon Con will be a little different this year due to COVID, but they are taking every precaution to make this a safe event and making every effort to make it as fun as you expect Dragon Con to be. In order to see the Netherspawn marching down Peachtree in-person, you’ll need a Dragon Con Badge (if you don’t have one you can grab one here) but if you can’t make it to Downtown Atlanta this Labor Day weekend you can catch the parade broadcast live on Atlanta’s CW 69 at 10am EST on Saturday, Sept. 4th.
One last great thing about Dragon Con…it usually coincides nicely with NETHERWORLD tickets being released for sale! So keep an eye out here – tix link coming soon.

ATLANTA: Haunt season is lurking just around the corner and the team behind the world-renowned NETHERWORLD Haunted House has revealed the terrifying themes for its 25th anniversary, RISE OF THE NETHERSPAWN and RETURN TO PLANET X in 3D. Ready to immerse yourself in a nightmare world of classic horror? Enter RISE OF THE NETHERSPAWN! In the deepest caverns below the cursed city of Whyshburg an ancient creature summons an army of horrific nightmares led by the twin abominations, FEAR and TERROR, as a colossal storm of shadows engulfs the world to conceal this army of horrors from the NETHERWORLD! Are you prepared for a mind melting adventure using advanced 3D technology? Thrill seekers will put on 3D glasses to explore a top-secret facility filled with bizarre rips in the very fabric of reality, confront malignant alien life forms and find a way to make them RETURN TO PLANET X!
“Our 25th anniversary is a huge milestone that we are very proud of,” said Ben Armstrong, NETHERWORLD Haunted House co-creator. “We wouldn’t be where we are without the devoted haunt fans that have made NETHERWORLD a Halloween tradition in the Atlanta area! We have a ton of new amazingly terrifying stuff for everyone to experience and a lot of classic characters from our history making a triumphant comeback. It will definitely be an unforgettable season of screams!”
More about this year’s two haunts:
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.
“As our 25th anniversary approaches, we are continuing to take the necessary COVID-19 precautions to keep haunt fans safe,” said Billy Messina, NETHERWORLD Haunted House co-creator. “As we did last year, we’ll have procedures in place regarding ticketing, sanitizing and more that will help ensure a safe environment for both guests and employees alike.”
Adrenaline seekers looking for a little extra adventure can still get their fix while anxiously awaiting this season’s haunts through NETHERWORLD’s escape rooms and outdoor laser tag arena. Both Netherworld Laser Adventure and Escape the NetherWorld remain vigilant in light of COVID-19.
The Creature pictured on this online exclusive design (or more appropriately, his namesake army) holds a clue to the the theme of this year’s main attraction.
