Netherworld Haunted House

Picture from their home webpage

I am a huge fan of all things Halloween. I have been to several small haunted attractions and a few large ones. In the large category I have listed Universal Studios Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights this one because of the size and the amount of people that fills up each of the areas even though there are as many as five or so plus you have scare areas. I have been going for the past few years and looking forward to getting back there again this year for the 25th Anniversary celebration. 

The largest single attraction that I have been able attend so far is NETHERWORLD Haunted House in Norcross Georgia just outside of Atlanta. 

It is a huge place with tons of details that you may never get a good look at because you are watching for demons to pop out and scare you. Here is a photo from their website of one of the rooms that you walk through. Everything about this room is perfect. there are movies that are being made today that does not have as much detail that this room has. If you are a haunted house owner you should do everything you can to bring it up to the bar that these people have set. 

Granted you can not have a successful haunted attraction just on room detail alone, you must have characters that come out and brings these rooms to life.So of course one of the biggest haunts have some of the best cast of characters. This is on of the "Grounds" characters that the closer you get the more detail you will see. I invite everyone to get as close as you dare this coming season.

 NETHERWORLD has a different theme every year which is incredible. This past year (2014) their theme was witches. In this photo you can see they do not play with Wal-Mart masks and dollar store make up. It is like they went on a search to be these people from their homes and sat them in to the set. Thats how real they look.

Here is one of the displays that you can get your picture taken at. There are also photographers that will be glad to have you pose with the monsters. 

Countdown to Transworld 2015

As I have posted earlier, I will be traveling to St. Louis Missouri Next Week (3/19/15) for the largest Haunted Attraction industry trade show in the United States. I will also be posting pictures of some of their work and company details and videos. Lots of pictures and videos. I will also will be attending The Darkness to see how they put it all together to be able to scare so many people night after night, year after year. All this will be posted here, my Facebook and Instagram. There will be a variance in each of them so you are not getting the same information from several different sources. There are so many Vendors that will be there are I have met through Facebook that I am excited to be able to meet them in person and get an up-close personal look at their work.

Halloween Prop

There is a prop that I have seen only through the use of the internet. It is known only as I can find it under the term "Skull Chair" that I was able to "Google". Other than a couple of pictures, I can not locate any information on this chair. I am constructing a chair that is modeled after this original one. It is not a copy but I'm trying to build it as close as possible. I would like to know where the original is located so I can give credit where it is due. This is a great work of art and the more I looked at the more I wanted to build one just like it to be added to the haunted attraction where I work during Halloween. My chair would never be sold and will be kept in my home.

Although there is a logo on this picture, this chair is not located on their website 

Here is an update on the prop chair. I can only work on this when the weather is clear. This is just the first skull. I started with a 2"x 8" that I has cut down to 12" boards which I cut down to a workable size. Just now I have taken as much corners off and rounded the sides. Now it is starting to look as the shape of a skull. There needs to be more taken off the back side. There was a lot of work done to get the wood down to what I have now. Right now all of the sanding has been done by a hand belt sander. I will be getting the Dremel tool out for the detail of the face.
