For Saturday only, Netherworld Haunted Houses in Stone Mountain will offer behind-the-scenes, lights-on tours of its two 2024 haunts, which wrapped production in November.
For 34 nights in October and November, the elaborate haunts, which were billed as Wake the Dead and Mr. Grendel’s Birthday Party of Horrors, came to life with the help of a nightly crew of 100 actors, 18 makeup artists, costumers, special effects technicians and lighting specialists. Visitors were dizzied by enormous animatronics, moving floors, optical illusions, props on zip lines, pneumatic air puffers, smell machines, fog, a cacophony of sounds and a disorienting maze of monsters, mythical beings and Hollywood-worthy set designs.
