Study ranks Georgia as fifth scariest state to visit this Halloween
If you’re a fan of Halloween and love to seek out all things spooky, then it may come as a bragging right to know you live in one of the scariest states in the country.
Georgia comes in as the fifth scariest state according to MyBaggage.com, which conducted the study into the most terrifying haunted houses across the U.S. Only Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Kentucky ranked higher.
Georgia’s high score statewide was anchored by the acclaimed Stone Mountain haunt Netherworld, which also ranked fifth on the MyBaggage.com list of top haunted houses nationwide.
Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, Netherworld is a multi-story, multi-attraction haunted house, notorious for its realistic special effects and terrifying live actors. This year’s featured haunts are Rise of the Netherspawn and Return To Planet X in 3D. Also worth checking out are the escape rooms, the House of Creeps Monster Museum, laser tag and food trucks.
Bonus: There are plenty of photo opportunities with characters along the way. Ticket prices vary depending on the experience you choose, and all are timed and dated. Parking is free. Reserve your timeslot here.
