NETHERWORLD Bringing Monsters & Mayhem to Dragon Con 2025 This Weekend

ATLANTA: This Labor Day Weekend, the streets of downtown Atlanta will tremble as NETHERWORLD Haunted House brings its legion of monsters to Dragon Con. From grotesque new fiends and fan-favorite creatures to an elaborate parade float brimming with terror, NETHERWORLD will once again fuse fright and fantasy as it kicks off its 29th Season of Screams in spine-chilling style.

As the sponsor of Dragon Con’s Horror Track programming, NETHERWORLD will be present all weekend with a booth located on the Marquis level of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. There, fans can snap photos with NETHERWORLD’s famous monsters, learn about this year’s attractions, snag discounts for Escape the NETHERWORLD, and even sign up to join the “Netherspawn” crew for the upcoming season.

In the iconic Dragon Con Parade, spectators will get the very first glimpse of new nightmare-fueled characters from NETHERWORLD’s 2025 themes — the epic monster showdown MONSTERS ATTACK! and the twisted double feature OBLIVION: RETURN OF THE MANGLER and GRENDEL’S FEAST. Alongside the acclaimed attraction’s float, legendary Netherworld denizens will unleash a sneak peek of the fearsome battles, grotesque creations, and sinister clowns that await haunt-goers this fall.

“Dragon Con is our official start to haunt season and the ultimate stage to introduce our new characters and themes,” said NETHERWORLD Haunted House Co-Creator Ben Armstrong. “For 2025, we’re unleashing massive new monsters, mind-bending sets, and some of the most ambitious haunts in our history. Dragon Con gives us the chance to share that excitement with fans before we open our doors, and we can’t wait to see their reactions!”

A few short weeks after Dragon Con, the scares officially open for its 29th Season of Screams on Friday, Sept. 19. Guests will journey through the monstrous chaos of MONSTERS ATTACK! before plunging into the horrific depths of OBLIVION: RETURN OF THE MANGLER and the grotesque carnival of GRENDEL’S FEAST. Between haunts, visitors can explore the NETHERWORLD Midway, packed with roaming creatures, food, games, photo ops, and festive fun. Tickets — including General Admission and Speed Passes for faster entry — are on sale now at Fearworld.com, and fans are encouraged to purchase early to secure their spot.
