Year 20 – 2016
Netherworld is very similar to a Hollywood movie production utilizing 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.

One of the nation’s most popular haunted houses…invests in movie-quality props.

This is the mack daddy of haunted houses. It’s been consistently rated one of the best haunted houses in the US by Hauntworld magazine since 2009. The sets are professionally done, and the actors are very good.

“Every year it is something new, something different, and they’ve never disappointed. With two houses, each is themed wildly different. One is a lavish feast for the eyes, the other tends to be gritty and downright grotesque. But both are sensory delights, from sound to scent and everything in between, your mind scurries to keep up with just what the next fright will be.” —Yelper Dianna B.
BuzzFeed
Leave the fear behind… Or don’t, because this Haunted House attraction is filled with terror anyway. The suburbs of Atlanta may look all innocent but they are hiding the castle that will scare the daylights out of anyone who dares enter. This warehouse is equipped with all sorts of absolutely terrifying sets and fearsome special effects. The quality is just as astounding as it is goosebumps-inducing. Prepare to meet witches, vampires, ghosts and other otherworldly creatures. Beware blood-filled containers, bats and all sorts of creepiness. The building itself is said to be the paranormally active spot if you need an additional spook factor. The place is run by former TV and film members who clearly know what they are doing: the sets and characters are impeccable. Netherworld offers you as scary an experience as money can buy. Consider leaving young kids at home because this may be truly upsetting.

Netherworld remains on my shortlist of favorite haunted houses. It’s a lot of fun, and I can definitely understand why it’s often rated as one of the best haunted houses in the nation. The level of detail is impressive. I don’t scare easily, but they “get” me a few times when I walk through, especially when anything resembling a statue turns out to be a real person. The teen girls remain the most hilarious part of the night though, as quite a few scare easily. I didn’t know they could run that fast, but apparently they’re motivated to move when chased by creatures of the night.

Named one of the scariest haunted houses in the world year after year, it’s worth the trip outside the Perimeter to have the pants scared off you.
AtlantaINTownPaper.com
Today the attraction is run almost like a movie studio, with a dozen full-time employees building sets and effects year-round. When the doors open, about a month before Halloween, there are 400 seasonal employees on hand to help guide attendees through the elaborate scenes…
’Netherworld sets a very high standard for quality and creativity, and they also engaged the community by hosting things like parades and horror movie premieres, which is something other haunts hadn’t done, ‘ says Larry Kirchner, who runs hauntworld.com, which in 2013 named Netherworld the most influential haunted house of all time. Soon the attraction developed a reputation not only for originality but also for top-notch special effect and make.’
Atlanta Magazine
Several times a week (In October), Netherworld sends a team out to various schools around Atlanta to present an anti-bullying message with the theme “Don’t be a Monster”. “With this we’re speaking to the bullied and to those who bully. The bottom line of it is: let’s keep the monsters in the haunted house where they belong,” Billy Messina said.
Insite.Atlanta.com
In its 20th year, the attraction is more hair-raising than ever, bringing an onslaught of monsters…Since opening in 1997, Netherworld has expanded from 5,000 to 40,000 square feet over two floors, while working year round on new ways to petrify houseguests.
“We had a few special effects in year one, including a 20-foot-long spinning tunnel,” says co-owner Ben Armstrong. “Today, we have hundreds of effects, including animatronics, projections and illusions, pryotechnics, a foam room that totally buries you, and massive walk through moving rooms.”
Folks travel from all over to experience the macabre and screams…

Hold on to your blanky, because Netherworld Haunted House will make you scream like a baby. In fact, the production-quality sets, makeup, costumes and believable horrifying actors had The Travel Channel calling this “the most over-the-top haunted house on earth.”

Year 19 – 2015
“Our number one pick is an overwhelming thrill-packed, supercharged Halloween horror show that has been winning awards and dominating Atlanta, Georgia for 19 years. Every October huge crowds come from all over the country to see Netherworld and to soak up the combination of incredible production value and absolute nightmares that it provides. Customers and haunted house industry experts agree that this terrifying attraction is the most elaborate, creative, and influential haunt around. Famous for custom monsters, new themes every year, impressive special effects, and an unrivaled collection of props and artifacts, it is the freaky actors and gut-wrenching makeup that put Netherworld at the head of the class.”
“This year marks the 19th year that co-creators Ben Armstrong and Billy Messina have made Netherworld one of the premiere haunted house locations in the world. With two new haunts: The Rotting and Vault 13, visitors this year can expect to be wowed by new sets, enhanced special effects and brand new creatures.
Aside from the two haunts, there’s also the characters which are outside every year. While we saw a few of the classics (my personal favorite one at the top below), there are a few new creatures roaming around too. There’s also a few great photo ops as well!

“With movie quality special effects, unique themes, and intricate sets, Netherworld has definitely earned its place as one of the country’s most visited haunted destinations…Make sure to check out this haunt if you’re anywhere in the Southeast this October!”
“If you’re in the area, definitely need to check this one out as they have some really awesome stuff going on and are constantly improving and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Not only with story, but the insane creations that live within its walls.”
“NETHERWORLD has plenty of clout in the haunting business. In their almost two decades, their haunt and crew has been involved in a couple of large Hollywood horror films. Zombieland filmed some of their sections at NETHERWORLD, and Rob Zombie used a lot of the props and a lot of the crew to film Halloween 2. Just to add to the Hollywood cred, a good number of the crew members worked on The Walking Dead.
What does all that mean for NETHERWORLD? It means that you can expect intricate sets, movie-style special effects, and make-up that is so realistic you’ll get chills before the actors even do anything. The crew is also used to creating incredibly detailed and realistic sets from the ground up, and they put that skill to the test. Every year they build two completely new haunts. As you might guess, this gives NETHERWORLD an extremely loyal following who come back every year for new scares.
While the sets and effects themselves are impressive, the haunts are brought to life by the cast. The actors are given intricate make-up and costumes, and they definitely make the most out of them. Expect plenty of scares, chills, and outright terror.”
“Hold on to your blanky, because this haunted house will make you scream like a baby. All jokes aside, this terrifying attraction is only for the bravest of heart –in fact, the production-quality sets, makeup, costumes and believably horrifying actors make this experience too real for our own editor, who has never gathered enough gumption to go. But don’t follow in her cowardly footsteps. The Travel Channel called this ‘the most over-the-top haunted house on earth,’ so you know it’s a must-see.”
“Consistently for the past several years, Netherworld’s been listed as one of the top haunted attractions in the U.S. in no small part due to its high level of creativity and originality.
This haunted house attraction on the outskirts of Atlanta garnered rave reviews from horror mag, Fangoria, writing that Netherworld ‘is the #1 Hometown Haunt in America.’ On top of that, this venue hosts tow haunted houses for you to explore while crying out for your momma.
Annually, the haunt picks a new theme and redesigns many aspects of the attraction to ensure repeat visitors have unique experiences. Netherworld’s also credited with being among the first haunts to utilize buttons on the floor to alter the show. They’re also highly committed to using only the finest quality actors, props and set designs.”
“As October approaches, Atlanta residents’ thoughts turn to their very own Halloween tradition: NETHERWORLD Haunted House! Generations of Georgians (and visitors from all over the world) have attended this legendary haunted attraction seeking the intense thrills and chills it serves up every year to an ever-growing legion of loyal fans.
Consistently voted among the top 13 Haunted Houses in America by the media, haunt industry publications, and guests alike NETHERWORLD has raised the bar once again with new special effects, over-the-top sets, and terrifying actors.
‘Opening night is always a blast, says co-creator of NETHERWORLD Haunted House, Ben Armstrong. ‘To finally get to see people enjoy, and often run screaming from what we have worked on all year is very gratifying! Each season is like a sequel, full of new amazing things, keeping the favorite parts our fans love’”
“Netherworld Haunted House is a haunted house like none other. The costumes and the decorations are unbelievable. You will make your way through different galleries and will be sure to get a few frights. The theme changes annually…I recommend doing both (haunted houses).”
NETHERWORLD Haunted House is a self-guided, dark attraction known for its over-the-top special effects, intense make-up, elaborate costuming, skilled stunt actors, unique monsters, unusual themes and chilling detail!

More importantly NETHERWORLD is ever changing – coming up with new effects, scares, characters and story lines every Halloween season, while still retaining the Halloween feel that brings back guests year after year!”
“This classic haunted house is open all month long…Named one of the scariest haunted houses in the world year after year, it’s worth the trip outside the perimeter to have the pants scared off you.”
ATLANTA INTOWN
“…Netherworld continues to be one of the leading haunted house events in the country. Since 1998, the dark-themed walk through attraction has been conveniently located in an airy, multi-level warehouse just north of Spaghetti Junction in Norcross. Unlike many such destinations, Netherworld utilizes its own original and elaborate themes while veering away from tired old slasher movie characters and themes.”
INSITE ATLANTA
“Arguably one of the most acclaimed Halloween attractions in the country, Netherworld attempts to reinvent itself each year for its throngs of frightened fans.”
“No Halloween holiday is complete without a haunted house, and Netherworld knows how to ignite the fright! Atlanta’s scariest haunted house returns through November 8th and is filled terrifying live actors, amazing special effects, and incredible monsters and sci-fi gore.”
“Netherworld received our stamp of approval and made our Travel Channel’s Best Halloween Attraction last year, and again this year. It has 2 new features, including the Toxic Foam Room, where patrons step into this one-of-a-kind decontamination chamber after exiting Vault 13. Getting soaked with fresh bubbles down a long hall may not be scary, but it’s popular among regular customers. And step onto the new Elevator of Death. Up to 20 people can ride the elevator down to Vault 13, but be prepared for the flickering lights and bumpy descent. It’s a favorite of fans and haunted house experts. ‘Netherworld is one Hauntworld’s scariest haunted houses because they spend a long time developing one-of-a-kind costumes, masks, animation and set design that can only be experienced in Atlanta,’ Larry Kirchner.”
“Netherworld was created by movie and TV professional, and used as a film location for Zombieland. ‘Known for their originality of unique monsters and innovative scares, Netherworld Haunted House offers an over-the-top production that many in the industry consider to the top horror attraction in the country.’ Hauntworld’s review states.
Like many attractions on our list, it makes Hauntworld’s Top 13 list again and again. It’s a self-guided, dark tour that is known for its terrifying actor, unique scenes and stunts. ‘With more than 200 animated monsters and 100 live actors, Netherworld is one of the nation’s most famous attractions,’ The Travel Channel reports.”
“Do we really need to say once more how much fun we have at Netherworld in Norcross, Georgia? I guess we do! The Rotting and Vault 13 are prepared to accept new victims. Each haunt is just as thoroughly detailed as always, and the characters are ready for you from every possible angle.
As you are already aware, if you have read past reviews of Netherworld from us, we are huge fans. It is a delight to visit and become encapsulated in the world Ben and Billy have imagined for us. The details are so well layered and considered that you can easily forget where you are and that you chose to enter into this journey of your own free will. When you encounter monsters they will be full interactive (yes, you may get touched…we love that), so just remember your own monster manners and that this is all in fun.
Netherworld consistently receives our highest five severed heads rating and we encourage anyone who wants to take a trip into the fantastical world for a bit to make the trip to Norcross and meet with your own nightmares. Happy haunting!”
“Netherworld has one of the biggest followings in the world, and clearly is the most famous haunted house in America.”
“No top haunts list would be complete without the inclusion of Netherworld Haunted House in Atlanta, Georgia. This top-notch haunted attraction is more than a few cuts above the rest and consistently delivers scares and thrills that tap into every imaginable fear. With a critically-acclaimed cast of actors, state-of-the-art effects and animatronics, makeup and costuming to rival Hollywood’s best, Netherworld is a sense-shattering rush of adrenaline guaranteed to elicit the perfect blend of heart-pounding screams and nervous laughter. Since its debut in 1997, the fiendishly creative minds behind Netherworld Haunted House have continued to challenge themselves to raise the bar in themed attraction-haunted or otherwise-making them a perennial member of any Top 10 list regarding haunted houses and Halloween happenings. This ever-evolving house of horrors is sure to delight those seeking a memorable jolt of spirited seasonal fun, placing visitors in the thick of its nightmarish vision from the very moment they arrive. Garnering a wide array of well-deserved media coverage and critical accolades, Netherworld Haunted House should be place very high on every Halloween ‘must see’ list.”
“Stepping into Netherworld feels like stepping onto a movie set. The special effects are so top-notch and over-the-top impressive that even as you may be screaming because someone dressed up in a very realistic corpse costume lurches out in front of you, it’s hard not to stand, mouth-agape marveling at the skull walls, cushy, cemetery-esque footing, creepy ambiance, and extraordinary ‘WOW’ of it all.
Netherworld assaults the senses with so much to hear, look at and absorb that while on the 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. It’s realistic…and ultimately as scary as you allow yourself to believe.
Recently named the No. 5 ‘Scariest Haunted House in America 2015’ by Hauntworld.com, and one of the nation’s ‘Top Halloween Attractions’ by The Travel Channel, this year features amazing new sets, intense special effects and weird creatures found nowhere else (thankfully).”
The haunted house in Norcross known as Netherworld has been around since 1997. A self-guided walking tour through acres and acres of spooky stuff, the attraction is an expert amalgam of special effects and specially-made-up performers, all engineered to scare e you socks off (assuming you’re wearing socks). This year’s themes are ‘The Rotting’ and ‘Vault 13: Unearthed.’ And don’t take my word for it: organizations as diverse as The Travel Channel and Hauntworld have voted it one of the top Halloween experiences in the country.
ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE
“It’s that time of year again: the ghouls, goblins and monster are out, and they have all come together at the one and only, NETHERWORLD Haunted House, voted the scariest attraction of all time by Hauntworld and consistently ranked as one of the best haunted house in America since its opening 19 years ago, this is definitely one you don’t want to miss this Halloween!
With not one, but two exciting Haunts to choose from, you’ll just want to do them both!
NETHERWORLD is so scary that people are claiming to be ‘legitimately traumatized.’ So, if you’re brave enough to get scared and submit yourself to these terrifying monsters, step on up to NETHERWORLD Haunted House and enjoy the experience.”
“The infamous Netherworld, voted number one haunted house in America, will not disappoint as the monsters and haunted sets will feed off of your phobias of tight spaces, the unknown, the dark and of course, the unexpected.
With a background of film and television, the owners of Netherworld are continually creating new special effects, unique rooms and scarier contraptions. The creativity and elaborateness of each room is what separates Netherworld from the rest of the haunted houses in Georgia.
‘One of the biggest things at Netherworld is distractions.’ Ben Armstrong, the co-owner of Netherworld said. ‘There’s so much cool stuff to look at. It just draws people into the world and then they’re easy prey.’
Overall, Netherworld lives up to the high expectations. The long lines build the anticipation to a night of terror you do not want to miss. The monsters are original, the haunted houses are fantastically creative and the experience is one that will leave with a sense of exhilaration and fear.”
“Netherworld Haunted House in Norcross is by far the best haunted house in the Atlanta area. You’ve probably heard about them before, and yes, the hype is true. Year after year, they never disappoint with their quality horrors. Perhaps the most theatrical and well-planned of the haunted houses in Georgia, Netherworld is in what looks like an abandoned warehouse, but the set production inside is up to par with that of a movie set or theme park. It is super intricate with each phase of the house being scarier than then last. You’ll leave emotionally and physically drained because chances are you freaked out so hard…This is a must-do before you leave Emory, because chances are your hometown doesn’t have anything to match.”
“To describe how I felt entering ‘one of the best haunted house of all time,’ the word ‘nervous’ doesn’t do it justice. I was terrified as I stepped into the dark halls of Netherworld last week. And for good reason – I screamed, jumped and held on tight the entire time. If you’re looking for a haunted house with wicked sets, elaborate costumes, and chilling special effects, head to Norcross and check it out for yourself. Just don’t go alone.
Netherworld has been good for the economy – hiring approximately 380 workers each Halloween season.”
Sarah Funderburk, SPR Atlanta, THE ATLANTA 100
The night before we were to depart for Florida this year a hurricane hit the northeast. Our train was canceled and flying wasn’t an option. I turned to my husband and said, “Well I guess we finally get to drive to Netherworld in Atlanta!” He replies, “Hell yeah!”
Make no mistake about it, driving to Atlanta from New Jersey in 1 day with almost no advance notice is an extremely taxing and painful 13+ hours of spine torture and too many Cracker Barrel meals. (Take note, travelers – they have vegetables!)
This is why we hadn’t been able to do this before even though we had wanted to see Netherworld for many years. I always tell the people I mentor that problems are opportunities. That was exactly the case here. Having been pushed into the awful prospect of driving we had the opportunity to push the drive a bit and finally see this amazing attraction.
Netherworld is a PG or PG-13 Halloween attraction so it is appropriate for tween and above or an adventurous younger kid with their family. That does not mean it doesn’t deliver for adults like us. It delivers. Oh BOY does it deliver. They just pride themselves on having the spirit of traditional Halloween. You won’t find gory torture porn here.
The problem is that Netherworld is so damn good that now we may force ourselves to attempt this hellish drive every year. We have never seen anything like this before. Many seem to have attempted to do what Netherworld does – all fall short.
Why? Scale. Netherworld is exactly what it purports to be – a world. Set pieces and props reign supreme here – and that’s actually a good thing. They aren’t done at the expense of the actors – they’ve created a world for the actors to live in and do it better than anyone else. It’s balanced and used in exactly the way it should be to create a stunning show.
Thanks to co-owner Ben Armstrong I had the opportunity to go backstage and see the actors suiting up for the night. That was absolutely amazing. Some of the actors requires multiple people to help them get suited up. Others were in bodysuits preparing for wire work. It was pure controlled chaos. Their goal? To scare the crap out of you. You can tell that this is a big family. They are “Netherspawn”, and they don’t have a high turnover rate. They joke that once you are a spawn you are always a spawn. The people who all stay with the haunt for many years and only leave if they absolutely have to due to life circumstances.
Job satisfaction is high with the ghouls and I can’t blame them. What ghoul wouldn’t love being able to float after you and eat your soul? I know that’s as good as a 401k to me.
The queue actually warrants a review because it’s breathtaking and huge. They actually have a museum of some past props and an entire mini haunted house in the queue before you even get in. The mini haunted house reminded me of the old scarehouses of the early 1900s, like Kennywood’s Noah’s Ark, combined with steampunk. I got to go in before the queue opened for the night and speak with a couple of the actors who work the front queue. They explained some of the props to us because this was our first time here. They told me that it was an opportunity for them to allow people to see things up close because it’s impossible to see everything inside.
At this point I thought they were being hyperbolic. While I was familiar with Netherworld, I like to try and keep as much of each haunt that I visit a surprise since I’ve seen everything (or so i thought) and surprises are more fun for me. I did not really have an accurate idea of what was in store for me inside. Hurr hurr…
I should emphasize that yes, they actually entertain you while you are in the queue before you enter. I feel that this is something that more haunts should take note of.
The Rotting was absolutely breathtaking. They were not kidding about there being so much stuff to look at. I’ve been through haunts which were set piece heavy and I’ve never seen it done well. Netherworld does it very well. It’s not a prop museum, it’s a wonderfully integrated world in which the actors are positioned such that they work in harmony with that world. This is one of the few haunts in which I believe the name is significant and not a useless “Boogity McBoogums” nondescript name. (Yes, I did just say “Boogity McBoogums. Deal.)
This is why the name Netherworld is so appropriate. It’s not a simple haunted house. It’s a world. Forget everything you know about haunting. You can see the sky but it’s a fully enclosed venue. You almost want to live there or run around like a weirdo with the ghouls. Speaking of scale – the scale of Netherworld is so large that I can’t even convey it to you. You have to see it. You won’t believe me unless you see it. It’s beyond massive. You can’t afford to have a haunt like this in New Jersey, that’s for sure.
I was blown away by the giant skull the came out of the sky at us – but more than that – you can see the next several rooms. That’s a good thing. You aren’t seeing the entire room, but pieces of the room that are strategically aligned together as you walk through which are meant to convey depth and scale to you. It’s an intentional part of the design that piques your attention and warns you of what amazing thing you are about to see.
I particularly loved one particular room where – I probably shouldn’t give it away – but I will just say that you end up inside a building under attack from something much more powerful than a human. Again the scenery is coordinated to work with you as you move through. Forget what you know about claustrophobia chambers. They actually have actors here manipulating that concept and even created their own designs on it such that it moves with you. The world is alive. Nothing in here feels stale. Nothing in here feels like a copy and paste from anything else. These guys aren’t just producing a haunted attraction – I firmly believe that they are redefining it and leading the industry every single day. With so much monkey see, monkey do in the industry, this was so refreshing to us.
My husband and I always talk about how we would do a haunt and lament that they do not do certain concepts, such as H.P. Lovecraft, inside a haunt. These guys did them.
My observations of how the haunt was constructed for The Rotting, above, hold true for Sector 13: Unearthed. These guys know how to stage a haunt. Boy howdy. I particularly loved the compression hallways here that were made of flesh.
I’ve never seen THAT before. I frowned in there because they achieved their goal, but make no mistake about it I was totally amused and elated to see such a thing. It felt like such a custom way of taking a standard stunt and making it relevant, along with skinless monsters.
I also particularly loved the giant robot and alien fight. Again – the staging and storytelling in here was fabulous.
This one had a foam room at the end that you can choose to go through or not. Of course after driving over 13 hours to get here we went through. Go big or go home! You will definitely get wet if you go in here and they tell you that very clearly beforehand. If you don’t want to get wet you can go through an alternate room.
With this haunt being sci-fi heavy, and The Rotting being all fantasy creatures and supernatural, you get both types in one location, which is great.
Conclusion:
Netherworld has been called the best haunted attraction in the world. I do think the phrase “best” is a weird term because each haunted attraction aims for a different type of goal. You can have 10 haunted attractions that are all the best at what they do and all contribute wonderfully to the conversation of seasonal immersive theater. That’s why I have a pantheon of attractions that are my #1. I can’t choose. It’s apples and oranges.
However if you’d call Netherworld the best haunted attraction in the world, I sure as hell won’t argue with you. They do something that no one else does better than anyone else. Their unique identity and commitment to delivering a solid product for both families and adults – and succeeding at it without sacrificing creative integrity – makes them beyond remarkable.
The most important thing I saw that night was my observations of Netherworld co-owner Ben Armstrong. In my conversations with him I could see the little boy who probably loved Halloween just like I did growing up when I used to make a haunted house in my living room with blankets and toys. That little boy is still there – he’s just a little bit older and able to share what he loves with the world. They say that Real can recognize Real. Recognize it, we did.
Both Harknell and I are really glad that he shared this with the world. It’s a better place to live in because of it.
Netherworld is a PG or PG-13 haunted attraction that you can feel OK taking most of your family to, but it will blow the adult haunt fans away as well. It was worth the 13+ hour drive for us and had earned it’s reputation of being the gold standard, world class haunted house that it is known for. We will be back.
DO THIS ONE.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

Rated #6 Most Influential Haunted House of All Time – Hauntworld Magazine
(At #6,) Finally, we have a current haunted house, still in existence today, that isn’t owned by Disney or Universal. Netherworld is by far the most well-known haunted house in the world, privately owned by a couple small businessmen out of Georgia. Netherworld offers something for everyone, borrowing inspiration from the best offerings of everyone on our list so far, yet making it their own. When you look at Netherworld you think about Knotts Scary Farm’s sliders and outdoor scares… Yes, inspired from Knotts but taken to another level that even Knotts can’t compete with. We talk about Terror On Church Street being one of the first haunts with incredible theatrical actors and costumes, and Netherworld took that concept to a whole new level as well. GHOULY AMAZING!
