September 1, 2020Howe Caverns, The Underworld, a Fully Immersive Cave Haunt!
The Underworld is the first, fully immersive cave haunt featuring an underground boat ride below the earths surface at Howe Caverns and will be available to guests that dare to descend among the Keepers of the Cave from the last weekend of September through the last weekend of October.
Howe Caverns has hosted Halloween events in the past, but this year’s transformation will feature the magic of consulting from Michael Santos and Kyle Thompson of Midnight Studios and take adventurers to a whole new level of the senses, like a multimillion-dollar soundstage, 156 ft below ground.
“The caverns that were formed more than 2 million years ago create the most amazing backdrop, and without question, this event will be the showstopper of all showstoppers in the haunted attraction industry” says Santos.
Kyle Thompson of Midnight Studios FX, award-winning special effects artist, was brought in to consult on this transformation by unleashing the most amazing creatures imaginable. His work is featured around the world, at places like Six Flags Universal Studios and in Netflix productions. This includes several of the haunted attractions along the I-95 corridor in New York State and New England.
“If you do nothing else this year for excitement, don’t miss this all new event at Howe Caverns THE UNDERWORLD! This will shake the haunted world to its core” states Santos proudly.
Tickets to The Underworld are limited to 500 per night, every Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning September 25th and can be purchased for $50 in advance at HoweScary.com. Reservations are all-inclusive for a specific date and time to increase scares and decrease lines with no additional fees or upgrades necessary. The Underworld haunt is not recommended for children 10 and under. Guests under 14 years old must be accompanied by at least one parent. Please note, The Underworld will be closed on October 31st out of respect for the Keepers of the Cave.
