Netherworld returns this year for its 25th anniversary, and it’s scaring up some new ways to make you scream with fright.

Fans of classic horror won’t want to miss Rise of the Netherspawn. “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.

If you’re looking for a mind-melting adventure using 3D technology, “you can put on 3D glasses to explore a top secret facility filled with bizarre rips in the very fabric of reality, confront malignant alien life forms and find a way to make them Return to Planet X,” which is the name of Netherworld’s other experience this year.

“Our 25th anniversary is a huge milestone that we are very proud of,” said Ben Armstrong, co-creator of Netherworld Haunted House. “We wouldn’t be where we are without the devoted haunt fans that have made Netherworld a Halloween tradition in the Atlanta area and beyond! We have a ton of new amazingly terrifying surprises for everyone to experience and a lot of classic characters from our history-making a triumphant comeback. It will definitely be an unforgettable season of screams.”

Five years ago Netherworld moved from its building off Jimmy Carter Boulevard to a new home in Stone Mountain. This year’s screams will begin in September and continue into November.

In 2022, Georgia Power projected its winter peak electricity demand would grow by about 400 megawatts by 2031. Since then, Georgia has experienced a boom of data centers, which require a large load of electricty to run, and Georgia Power's recent forecast shows peak demand growing by 20 times the 400-megawatt estimate from just three years ago.
