Reviews From 2014

Year 18 – 2014
The most over-the-top haunted house on earth
– Travel Channel

Is it as awesome as you’ve heard? The answer is yes! Netherworld is a truly scary experience, not recommended for young children….It’s basically like walking through the set of a ‘Saw’ film. There are exits in case you find yourself too frightened….it is worth the cost and the wait if you truly love a good scare.
– ATLANTA.CBSLOCAL.COM

Netherworld has grown into one of Atlanta’s most popular, self-guided dark attractions. It is 40,000 square feet with 50-foot high ceilings and a walking path that’s 1,800 linear feet, equivalent to six football fields. …Netherworld is very similar to a Hollywood movie production using a number of props, flashing lights, lasers, special effects, hanging textiles, animatronics, 125 actors, and a variety of actor-controlled puppets to create a more realistic scare.
– GWINNETTDAILYPOST.COM

Netherworld is big on film quality set pieces and a ton of robotics…Netherworld is one of the most famous haunts in the United States and is run by a team of former movie and TV professionals, including a crew that works on AMC’s The Walking Dead. Bonus that these guys are heavily involved with the Don’t Be A Monster anti-bullying campaign.
– HUFFINGTONPOST.COM

Enter Netherworld…if you dare. Netherworld is a warehouse-sized structure in the suburbs of Atlanta featuring elaborate sets and special effects worthy of a Disney attraction. Guests will encounter unattractive witches, a special assortment of blood-maddened clones, disconcerting flesh vats, and an angry army of corpses, while staggering through fog, crawling through spinning tunnels and holding their noses against unsavory scents. The intense experience creates what the Travel Channel described as ‘more scares per square foot than any other haunt in America.’ Even better, the building has been declared to be ‘paranormally active’ by local experts, the Roswell Georgia Paranormal Investigators.
– YAHOO.COM

With more than 200 animated monsters and 100 live actors, Netherworld is one of the nation’s most famous attractions. Having been featured on TV and in movies such as ‘Zombieland’, this spooky attraction has amazingly detailed sets…‘And unlike other Halloween attractions, Netherworld’s creepy characters greet patrons in the parking lot before they purchase tickets, scaring them off before they even enter,’ says Larry Kirchner, owner of HauntWorld.com.

– ATLANTA.NOW

You’re scared from the minute you park your car to the minute you’re chase off of the grounds. Actors are hiding in the parking lot waiting to terrify you the moment you set foot on the attraction. Unlike many haunted houses, Netherworld’s actors are nearly all Hollywood quality monsters and many of them are trained stunt actors that take scenes to a whole new level.
– BUZZFEED.COM

– AMERICANTOWNS.COM

Netherworld pulls out all the stops to earn its title as Atlanta’s most petrifying haunted house. Live actors, ultra-realistic makeup and stunning special effects are the active ingredients in this recipe for terror. This walk-through attraction is not for the weak-hearted.
– WHERETRAVELER.COM

Atlanta is home to some of the most elaborate and horrifying haunted houses in the country. My first date with my future husband was at Netherworld Haunted House where thanks to the horrifyingly fun experience, I learned that he is a great protector, doesn’t hesitate to laugh at himself when he’s scared and is just as much of a scaredy cat as I am. So maybe you should grab your spouse or partner and head to a haunted house for a date night this Halloween season!
– ATLANTAMOMS.COM

The classic haunted house (Netherworld)…named one of the scariest haunted houses in the world by BuzzFeed, it’s worth the trip outside the perimeter to have the pants scared off you.
– ATLANTA INTOWN

We have worked with the Netherworld team since its inception and they continually reinvent themselves in their constant drive to be the best in the industry.
– Steve Miller, Publisher, INsite Magazine

This is the mack daddy of haunted houses. It’s been consistently rated one of the best haunted houses in the US for a reason. The sets are professionally done, and the actors are very good. The website has good photos so visit there to see what you’re getting into.
– Sue Rodman, FIELDTRIPSWITHSUE.COM

Netherworld is one the country’s most famous haunted houses, located right here in Atlanta. If you’re looking for a legitimately good scare this October, it’s time to work up the courage to travel through this adventure.
…if you are up for a real scare, the adventure can’t be beat, and the effects and costumes will defy your expectations. It also gives you a great excuse to cling onto your date for the evening!
– Keely Herrick, AXS.COM

Netherworld is a self-guided, dark attraction known for its over-the-top special effects, intense make-up, costuming and stunt actors as well as unique monsters, unusual themes and chilling detail. Every night the attraction is open, over 100 actors are transformed into monsters to scare and entertain the guests. Some perform stunts such as bungee jumps and sliding. Many visitors enjoy the parking lot before the haunted house actually begins, staring the experience the moment guests get out of their cars.
– ROADTRIPPERS.COM

Consistently ranked one of the best haunted houses in the country, Netherworld is Atlanta’s premiere fright-inducing night out.
– ATLANTA.NET

I came to understand what the appeal of Netherworld truly is. These guys are geniuses at creating something new and exciting each year. …
What I really loved about Netherworld is that it is well thought out in that even when crowded, a group of people in front of you won’t necessarily spoil the surprise of what you might find when you enter the room. …the path twists and turns so you never know what the next room will hold.
– ATLANTA-RESTAURANT.BLOG.COM

I felt like I was deep in the set of a horror film, where no detail was spared. Every few steps, the ground beneath me would change. Every twist and turn revealed a scarier set than the last. Every second offered the opportunity for someone – or something – to jump out and scare the absolute bejeezus out of me. When I wasn’t screaming with terror, I was able to take short moments to simply admire the extravagant sets that were truly impressive. Everywhere I looked –up, down, side to side- something was waiting to scare me. Talk about your senses being in high gear.
– ATLANTAMUSICGUIDE.COM

What’s fascinating is how much detail goes into the houses that most patrons don’t even get to see because they’re too busy trying to escape. The time and effort that goes into casting the actors, making the costumes, applying the makeup (there are over 30 make-up artists on staff) and building the houses almost feels like that of a real movie set.
– FANBOLT.COM

Netherworld assaults the senses with so much to hear, look at and absorb that while on one hand you feel compelled to run through to safety, on the other you want to linger and try to look around to appreciate everything. (Of course, deep down you know that you are safe, but it’s hard not to be startled by almost everything that screams, jumps out or lurches at you inside the experience. And other guests screaming in front of and behind you add to the ambiance of fear.)
– GETAWAYFORGROWNUPS.COM

Netherworld is probably the scariest haunted house I have ever been to, said Carsen Hayman, recent Auburn graduate. “The characters look like real monsters and they go out of their way to scare you. Netherworld is not for the faint of heart, but if you like thrills and scares then I would absolutely recommend that you visit this haunted house.
“I don’t think I have ever been that scared in my life, said Toby Rolheiser, Auburn alumna. “I went to Netherworld last year with a group of my friends. It was a ton of fun.
– WEEKENDSONTHEPLAINS.BLOGSPOT.COM

Is Norcross’ Netherworld really haunted?…Norcross, Ga’s Netherworld was recently investigated by Ghost Hunters International the company said. They found ‘enough evidence for them to state that the site is paranormally active.’
– BIZJOURNALS.COM

…we fell in love with Netherworld. These guys are geniuses at creating something new and exciting each year. …Not only is there an inordinate amount of unsettling sounds going on during the tour, but they even pipe in offensive scents into the air….What I really loved about Netherworld is that it is well thought out in that even when crowded, a group of people in front of you won’t necessarily spoil the surprise of what you might find when you enter a room. Many of the creatures are operated by an actual person, meaning they know just when to dart out and frighten you. Rooms are small and the path twists and turns so you never know what the next room will hold.
– HAUTETRAVELS.COM

My favorite elements of the haunts were the rooms with collapsible walls, creating an uncomfortable, claustrophobic state that really felt like you were a character in a supernatural or horror movie. Another highlight consisted of all the rooms that were on hydraulic lifts, making the attendees feel like they were being shaken or attacked by extra-large monsters. Those experiences were incredible….While Netherworld attendees await their fate and prepare to enter the premises, there are many great photo ops and so many great looking costumed characters and cosplayers awaiting outside, the atmosphere definitely feels like a Halloween festival. Make sure to get some mementos to remember your visit.

Banshee – Its Scream Means Death!

The ancient evil city of Ys has risen from the ocean off the coast of Ireland bringing with it a plague of Banshees! These foul eyeless winged monstrosities feed on the dark energy of dying humans, seeking battlefields and natural disasters where life hangs in the balance.
