NETHERWORLD OPENS THE VAULT ON 30 YEARS OF FEAR

Milestone Season Unites Three Decades of Legendary Monsters, Iconic Storylines

and All-New Horrors for NETHERWORLD’s Most Epic Season Yet

2026 Haunt Themes Here!

ATLANTA: This fall, guests will experience NETHERWORLD Haunted House like never before as the legendary attraction unveils an all-new season featuring the return of iconic monsters, unforgettable scenes, and fan-favorite characters, alongside massive new creatures, terrifying environments, and original scares.

Built as a celebration of the mythology that has defined NETHERWORLD for decades, this season reunites legendary villains, towering creatures, monstrous battles and cinematic environments inspired by the attraction’s original storytelling. The result is the ultimate Halloween experience that honors longtime fans while delivering two of the largest and most ambitious haunted attractions ever created by the NETHERWORLD team.

“Every season has added another chapter to the NETHERWORLD story,” said Ben Armstrong, co-creator of NETHERWORLD Haunted House. “This year, we’re bringing those chapters together — reviving legendary monsters and iconic moments while creating terrifying new experiences that continue to raise the bar.”

CURSE OF THE COLLECTOR: The anniversary season begins with Curse of the Collector, an epic supernatural battle that unites some of the most recognizable characters and creatures from NETHERWORLD’s expansive history.

The primordial soul-gathering entity known as The Collector has rebelled against the masters of the NETHERWORLD in a desperate attempt to destroy the ancient gateway connecting their realm to ours. Joining forces with The Brotherhood’s Frankensteinian warriors, savage werewolves, the Halloween-loving Children of Autumn, and his own discarded Husks, The Collector wages war against gargoyles, gorgons, vampires, the Army of the Dead, and the towering Undying in a battle that will determine the fate of humanity itself.

Guests will journey through unforgettable scenes featuring The Invasion of the Gargoyles, The Burrower Beneath, The Colossal Undying, The Crawling Eyes, The Devastating Warbots, The Night of the Gorgons, The Halloween Treehouse of Horrors, Jack the Pumpkin Eater, The Library of the Lost, The Vengeance of the Vampires, The Arena of the Dead, The Battle of the Titans, and dozens more legendary encounters pulled from across NETHERWORLD’s history.

BEYOND OBLIVION: LEGACY OF EVIL: The terror continues inside Beyond Oblivion: Legacy of Evil, the largest and most terrifying second attraction NETHERWORLD has ever produced.

Powered by the corrupting energy of Oblivion, the infamous Mangler launches his most horrifying experiment yet. Inside a grotesque nightmare of laboratories, slaughterhouses, swamps, abandoned towns, and forgotten horrors, captured cryptids are processed into twisted food products while mutant insects, cursed experiments, and supernatural creatures become part of The Mangler’s final masterpiece — a decades-long experiment that represents his ultimate Legacy of Evil.

Visitors will encounter The Slaughterhouse of the Cryptids, The Hive, Necrotech Labs, Zombie Rampage, The Haunted Harkness House, Lost in the Forest, Hunted by Bigfoot, Madame Mystique’s House of Voodoo, The Hospital of Horrors, The Realm of the Render, The Behemoth Boogeyman, The Bottomless Pit of Doom, and countless new nightmares designed exclusively for the anniversary season.

“Since the beginning, we’ve challenged ourselves to create bigger, more immersive, and more cinematic haunted attractions,” said Billy Messina, co-creator of NETHERWORLD Haunted House. “This season is packed with Easter eggs aplenty for longtime fans, but you don’t need to be schooled in Netherworld history to enjoy it. Whether it’s your first visit or your thirtieth, be prepared for an unforgettable evening of entertainment.”

BEYOND THE HAUNTS…: The celebration extends beyond the haunted attractions as guests explore NETHERWORLD’s elaborate Halloween Midway, featuring towering jack-o’-lantern displays, roaming monsters, themed photo opportunities, games, mini escape games, and fan-favorite treats including Dr. Octane’s Bizarre Beverages, Zombie Rampage Energy Drink, cotton candy, “Blood Bags,” gourmet popcorn, barbecue sandwiches, pretzels, nachos, mini donuts, vegan corndogs, and more.

Guests can also experience Escape the NETHERWORLD, featuring five year-round, deeply immersive escape room adventures, along with the House of Creeps Monster Museum, making NETHERWORLD a road trip worthy destination for horror fans throughout the year.

NETHERWORLD will open for the season on Sept. 18–19, return Sept. 25–26, continue Oct. 2–4 and Oct. 6–12, before opening nightly beginning Oct. 14 through Nov. 1. The 30th Season of Screams concludes with one final weekend of horrors on Nov. 6–7.

THIS YEAR IS A MONSTER!

NETHERWORLD HAUNTED HOUSE ANNOUNCES ITS 29TH SEASON OF SCREAMS

This Fall: Face the Powerful MONSTERS ATTACK! and then Brave a Twisted Double Feature,

OBLIVION: RETURN OF THE MANGLER & GRENDEL’S FEAST to Experience the Longest,

Most Over the Top Attractions in NETHERWORLD’s History!

ATLANTA: This fall, the gates of NETHERWORLD Haunted House burst open once again for its 29th Season of Screams, cementing its reign as one of America’s most iconic haunted attractions. Opening Friday, Sept. 19 and running for 35 chilling nights through early November, the 2025 season promises to be NETHERWORLD’s most ambitious and immersive yet.

Known nationwide for its blockbuster-quality special effects, elaborate sets, and Hollywood-worthy creatures, NETHERWORLD ups the ante in 2025 with two massive, haunted attractions. Visitors will plunge headlong into the classic monster chaos of MONSTERS ATTACK!, then descend into the eerie depths of a dark double feature: the viscerally terrifying horror of OBLIVION: RETURN OF THE MANGLER and the grotesque carnival nightmares of GRENDEL’S FEAST.

“Each year we push ourselves further,” said Ben Armstrong, NETHERWORLD co-creator and industry veteran. “For our 29th season, we’re going bigger, longer, and more overwhelming than ever before – these are some of the most massive haunts in NETHERWORLD’s history, covering the combined walking distance of 10 football fields. We want guests to feel completely transported…like they’re running through a living nightmare.”

MONSTERS ATTACK!: Savage werewolves created by ancient alchemy, massive robotic war machines built with magic-infused science, and Frankensteinian creations fueled by primordial energy battle vampiric hordes, undying behemoths and a vast army of reanimated corpses in a battle royale! Led by the half-man, half-machine leader of the Brotherhood, Anton Varla, and his greatest creation, Cronus, the cursed town of Whyshburg struggles to hold off the attack and launch a doomsday missile to destroy the NETHERWORLD gate forever. But will they complete the mission as the final defenses crumble? Anything can happen when Monsters Attack!

Featuring: Titanic terrors tower over the town, the massive doomsday missile, armored warbots, Frankensteinian fiends on the warpath, the shocking scientific sanctum of Anton Varla, the terror of Cronus, undying giants face to face, the Valley of the Werewolves, the crushing hand, the vampire lord, ghosts in the attic, the undead hordes, aquatic nightmares, Lycan Lungers, the nest of the Skull Spiders, the Cathedral of the Serpent God, the Labyrinth of the Dead and the Stone Golems! More over the top gothic horror than the human brain can comprehend! Can you survive the onslaught of terror when Monsters Attack?

OBLIVION: RETURN OF THE MANGLER featuring the twisted surprise of GRENDEL’S FEAST: The demented surgeon known as the Mangler has escaped his cell in the BOX and discovered the dark dimension known as Oblivion. Now working with four horrific entities of fear, he seeks the ultimate knowledge: finding the source of emotion in the human body and using it to control all who live! Then explore the bizarre carnival sideshow of Mr. Grendel, the ancient flesh-eating ogre disguised as a clown. But beware…these clowns don’t eat popcorn and cotton candy; they have something a little different in mind for Grendel’s Feast!

Featuring: The mysterious First Citizen, the Mangler’s twisted experiments, the Chambers of the Unknown, consumed by the Feaster, the Subway of the Lost, the workshop of the Stitcher, the nightmare world of The Boogeyman, the Diabolical Dentist, the laboratory of the Render, the Hospital of Horrors, the Portal to Oblivion and the Darkness of the Pit. More gruesome medical madness and shocking scares than the human mind can comprehend. Then continue your journey through the malignant sideshow of Mr. Grendel’s Feast and face an army of freakish ogre clowns eager to have you over for dinner!

Beyond The Haunts…
