The 13th Gate Haunted HouseThe 13th GateHauntHaunted houseThis has been one of my favorite haunted attractions to visit and we have been able to drive down from Oklahoma for three different years. The scenic work throughout the location is simply gorgeous. I particularly love visiting the "Ice Age" area and cave systems of the attraction. The acting is also really great throughout, none of the actors will touch you or anything like that.
HellsGateHellsGate Haunted HouseHauntHaunted houseI have had the pleasure of visiting Hellsgate at least 5 times and it gets better every single year. The interior is beautifully done from hardwood floors to crown molding. It is everything a haunted house should be. The actors are just amazing, its not a bunch of "Get out!"s or random snarls, there is thought behind the action and dialogue. The queue line actors are always the fun to interact with and will keep you entertained until you enter the mansion. It is a challenge to not just marvel at the beauty of this evil old mansion as you meander the various rooms but the entities within will keep you on your toes.
The DarknessThe DarknessHauntHaunted houseThe Darkness was a decently long attraction to walkthrough over several floors. Fair amount of blood and gore if you are the queasy-squeamish type. Lots of fun lighting effects and animatronics.
Statesville Haunted PrisonStatesville Haunted PrisonHauntHaunted houseStatesville Prison was the Rock-N-Roll of Haunted attractions. It was intense, terrifying, and a real trip. The actors were simultaneously scary, funny and quick witted. The queue line actors really helped to pass the time and there were staples like Fluffy you could see every year that just really added to the "muchness" that was Statesville. If you didn't get to visit before the Prison closed, the inmates escaped and moved into Hellsgate so you can find them there. As a postscript, I had the awesome opportunity to visit one October and act for a weekend at Statesville and City of the Dead and not only was the attraction amazing because of its set design and costuming but the people that made the magic possible were just the most welcoming and amazing people you can ever meet. It was such a collaborative environment where actors were sharing tips to elicit better scares and emotions from the guests. They really care about their craft and safety and making sure everyone has a great time.
PrimordialNetherworld Haunted HouseHauntHaunted houseNetherworld Haunted Attraction is just an epic and amazing experience. Put it on your bucket list. It is one of the largest haunts I have ever walked through and you will be thrilled for every minute of it! Something I had never really seen before was so many epic-sized monsters.
Cryptid ChaosNetherworld Haunted HouseHauntHaunted houseI love cryptids and I was very excited to get out to see Netherworld's cryptid themed attraction. The monsters are just huge and amazing and everything you could want in a huge hairy critter. Don't skip this attraction if you are in the Atlanta area in the fall!
Haunted OverloadHaunted OverloadHauntHaunted trailHaunted Overload is very unique in design compared to most haunted attractions because they use real lumber from the forests to make their sculptures throughout the attraction. There is nothing like turning a corner and seeing a several story tall scarecrow with a fiery Jack-O-Lantern for a head. In the queue area there a hundreds of carved glowing pumpkins and it is a sight to behold. Even their safety video is awesome, I laughed so hard as they demonstrate what will happen to rule breakers in the video.

I really enjoyed the theming of Revenge of the Scarecrows and you don't see many scarecrow haunts out there.

Plenty of actors to make you jump and really good sets. There is a good reason why the Bates Motel is considered one of the best haunts in the country, the attention to detail and the atmosphere is very well done. Be prepared to be scared.
