This fall will be the last time for haunted fun at Netherworld’s Norcross location. The popular haunted house will relocate in 2018 to a brand new 70,000-square-foot facility in Stone Mountain within the Evermore Community Improvement District.

The new location will allow for a large expansion of the haunts, new attractions including year-round escape games, expanded retail areas, extensive indoor queuing and increased parking.

Netherworld will be the first new venue to change the face of the area. “Ultimately, we are looking at creating an entertainment complex to give residents a higher quality of life within the district,” said Evermore CID Executive Director Jim Brooks.

The new location just off of U.S. 78 will open in late September with a new themed challenge game experience called “Escape the Netherworld” that will test the problem solving skills of attendees. Though escape games in general are not particularly scary ventures, if you’d like a bit of a scream, Netherworld will offer guests the option of choosing between a “scary” and “not scary” version of their games.

“We’re excited to be opening the escape games this summer in Stone Mountain, but we’re equally focused on and excited about Netherworld opening this September for one last season in the place we’ve called ‘home’ for two decades. We’re working really hard to make this final season in Norcross our most epic to date,” said Billy Messina, co-owner of Netherworld.
