Enter Netherworld Haunted House
Netherworld Haunted House is a self-guided walkthrough haunted house attraction that develops an original theme every year to keep the scares fresh and new.
The haunted house was created by professional movie costume designers, meaning every monster they create is uniquely terrifying.
This gives Netherworld Haunted House the unique distinction of being one of the scariest haunted houses in Georgia and the Southeast, as well as one of the top haunted houses in the United States. It’s also one of the best fall activities in Atlanta, and you won’t want to miss it.
Haunts at Netherworld
The haunted house is packed with an incredible amount of horrifying detail, with “More scares per square inch than any other haunted house in town,” as Forsyth County News put it. Expect jumps at every turn coming from above, below, and beside you.
The haunts at Netherworld use custom movie-quality special effects, amazing actors, vividly detailed sets, and truly unique themes that change every year to keep the thrills coming.
Netherworld features two haunts for you to experience, typically with one being a traditional monster theme and the second being sci-fi themed.
