Netherworld reopens for a one-night haunted holiday
Deck the halls with boughs of cobwebs, fa la la la la, la la la la.
If your house’s decorations went straight from Halloween to Christmas, you have something in common with Netherworld.
The famed haunted house in Gwinnett County reopen Saturday, Dec. 18, for one extra night of fright.
If you missed Rise of the Netherspawn in October, you now have another chance to see it. “In the deepest caverns below the cursed city of Whyshburg, an ancient creature summons an army of horrific nightmares led by the twin abominations Fear and Terror, as a colossal storm of shadows engulfs the world to conceal this army of horrors from the Netherworld,” according to a press release from earlier this year.
Saturday’s haunt won’t be exactly like Halloween’s. Netherworld is adding a peppermint twist to the fun.
