Netherworld Haunted House is a self-guided, walk-through haunted attraction located near Atlanta, Georgia. It is a seasonal Halloween-based event which opened in 1997.
Netherworld is distinguished by having developed an original theme which was not based on popular movies, such as slasher films, but rather on a unique storyline. It operates during October of each year.
Beginning in 1997, there was only a single haunted house. A second smaller haunt was added in 1999, featuring a 3-D ChromaDepth experience. This coincided with a move to the current location in the Georgia Antique Center in Norcross, GA. In 2000, a third event was added at a remote location for one year, called Bloodfeast, a replica of a Medieval Torture Chamber. This event can now be seen every Spring at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. In 2003 Netherworld expanded with a third attraction that was located one floor below the larger one. It began as Tomb of Darkness, a very dark show, and slowly evolved into a more gory reality based event when compared with the traditional gothic horror elements of the upstairs haunt. In 2007 The 3-D Show and the Main show were combined in Leviathan, and a new introductory section and gift shop were added.
As of 2018, Netherworld Haunted Attractions LLC has announced that they will be moving the entire attraction to Stone Mountain, Georgia. This move was announced in 2016, and as of 2017, the new location was open featuring three indoor "escape games" (escape rooms). The main haunted houses remain at the Norcross location.
Netherworld has always created original monsters and props as it was founded by TV and Movie professionals, including costume designers, Producers and Creature fabricators. Every night the attraction's open actors are transformed into monsters to scare and entertain the guests that go through the haunted house. Some perform stunts such as bungee jumps and sliding. Netherworld is also known for its elaborate sets, innovative special effects, lighting and sound. Many visitors enjoy the numerous number of actors disguised as nightmarish creatures that stalk the parking lot before the haunted house actually begins, starting the experience the moment guests get out of their cars. The creators had it in their mind to transport guests to another world, as the name implies. The current haunted attractions, as of 2017, are Primal Scream and Mr. Grendel’s 3D Funhouse of Horrors, which are both indoor haunted houses.
