If that special someone in your life is allergic to chocolate, doesn’t like the smell of flowers or wants you to think outside the box this year, consider the gift of terror for Valentine’s Day.
Netherworld Haunted House returns with Scream in the Dark, a special Valentine’s edition of the popular haunt. Grab that special someone, a small battery-powered candle and navigate the halls of Night of the Gorgon to celebrate your love.
The haunt’s creators note that even if you’ve already ventured through Night of the Gorgon during Halloween last year, the sharply reduced lighting and limited timed admission create a very different experience that many find to be even more terrifying than the October seasonal show.
“Once Halloween is over, we love brainstorming on how to add new twists to the attractions for our Christmas and Valentine’s shows," Netherworld co-creator Ben Armstrong said. "Taking away almost all external illumination and supplying a small candle really alters the experience by making the guests more vulnerable yet empowering them with a source of light.
"But sometimes the one holding the candle attracts even more monsters so watch out!”
The haunt offers timed tickets for the Feb. 15 event. Tickets start at $25.95.
“We always strive to improve the customer experience in any way we can,” co-creator Billy Messina said. “We’ll certainly have plenty of fun on tap at Netherworld, but if dinner plans or other entertainment options are also on the night’s agenda, offering timed tickets to Scream in the Dark will no doubt help make planning the evening’s festivities a bit easier."
“This will be the last time for guests to walk through Night of the Gorgon before we radically redesign the attraction for the 2020 season so come out and Scream in the Dark with us,” Armstrong said.
Netherworld will offer its escape games and a one night only laser tag adventure in its Cold Blooded haunt called Cyborg Deathmatch. Tickets for Cyborg Deathmatch are $12.
