"If you haven't been inside a haunted house in a while, you just might implode from fright.

At Netherworld in Atlanta, every animatronic is strategically designed for its intended space with 3D clowns that boggle the brain. At Spookwoods in Greensboro, guests use laser weapons to shoot at what comes at you, or become infected with a deadly virus. At Bates Motel, Pennsylvania, there's more pyrotechnics than a Kiss concert; the customer favorite is the creepy Headless Horsemen.
