About Horror Hill
Since 1984, Newnan, GA (just south of Atlanta) has been the place to go during Halloween to visit two of the most talked about haunted trails in the southeastern United States. Since opening, Horror Hill has attracted many thousands of people from all over the United States to brave the Trails of Horror Hill, Vertigo, The Mortuary, Clown Haus in 3D, and the Horror Hill Campout. Camping at Horror Hill has fast become the most exciting Halloween tradition around! In the beginning of Horror Hill, the Trail was about 150 feet long and took about 5 minutes to walk. Our monsters donned cheap masks and cheesy costumes and simply jumped from behind trees in an attempt to scare the heck out of you. Effective? Yes. THEN... but now, with many years of experience behind us, large buildings, cabins, mazes, tunnels, bridges, trap doors, fog machines, lasers, strobes, and many other effects rule our attractions. We added Vertigo Haunted Trail to our family in 2005 and The Mortuary and Clown Haus 3D in 2008. Our monsters are now fully masked (latex and make-up) and costumed with the best and newest technology the haunt industry has to offer. Each scene is carefully set up and choreographed with trained actors and actresses complete with music. The Trails and Haunted Houses are almost COMPLETELY transformed with new scenes and acts every year. You will be guided in different segments of the trails by one of our many unpredictable narrators. Some are scary, some are tricky, some are funny, and some are MORE SCARED THAN YOU! Along the way you will be presented with many different scenes where you may be asked (or forced) to participate! You will enter darkened tunnels and mazes that will make you question your sanity as you get more lost at every turn. The ground, ceilings, walls and floors may give way at any time. Creatures will jump out at you at every chance. They will come from the ground, the trees, and even from thin air!! More on the History of Horror Hill... Hello. My name is Allyn Glover, creator of Horror Hill. I am a graduate of Newnan High School in Newnan, GA. my family has lived in Newnan since 1984. The Mortuary Haunted House at Horror Hill was the home I grew up in since the age of 13. First I would like to thank each and every one of our many customers that have come out year after year. We have worked so very hard over the years to make Horror Hill, Vertigo, The Mortuary and Clown Haus in 3D the best haunted attractions around. We love doing this so much. I would also like to thank my family for putting up with Horror Hill in their back yards for all these years. We started Horror Hill in 1984 when I was 13 when we moved to Newnan from the College Park, GA area. We didn't have a whole lot to do back then. Our movie theatres closed, our teen clubs flopped and we waited all year just to go to the fair in September. A friend, Mike Smith, and me were sitting in the woods behind my house one day and we were talking about Halloween and how much we both loved it. I then told him about how we used to have Halloween parties at our old house in College Park in our basement. We used to hang sheets from the ceiling to make mazes. We had the pasta in the bowl trick and the whole bit. We called the pasta "brains". We would crawl around under the sheets to get to the next "room" to scare everyone again and again. We invited the whole neighborhood over every year. It was a huge success! Mike and I sat there for a while talking about old times when I had a crazy thought. "Hey, let's cut a trail through the woods and invite friends over. When they walk through the trail we can jump out and scare them!" I thought that since we were on a huge hill that we could call it Horror Hill. The rest is pretty much history! Back then, my Mom and Dad (Judy and Gene) would stay out in the woods in the cold and rain and help scare people. If I needed someone to help do concessions, they would do it. They never once complained. They have been so great to me over the years. I will never be able to thank them enough. We had about 50 people come through that first year. We advertised at school and that was pretty much it. Then, every year we decided to have Horror Hill again. We would add a few feet to the Trail every year and more scenes. HORROR HILL would grow and grow from then on. With each passing year we got better at preparing scenes. We learned how to build elaborate scenes with trap doors and other neat tricks. In the past I have been lucky to have a lot of wonderful help with the trails. Keith Morris, Chris Cook, Brooks and Sister McElroy (Maxwell), Erin Courtright, Billy Bray, and many others have direct roots to the beginning and success of Horror Hill over the years. If I missed anyone, please email! :) Now, many years later, thousands of people come from all over the United States just to walk through our shows. Flattering? Yes. Hard work? Yes. Has it been worth it? EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I love doing it as much today as I did in 1984. Thanks so much for visiting us. If you have any questions you can email me directly at info@horrorhill.com . We hope that you have a great time at Horror Hill and our second attraction which opened in 2004, 13 Stories Haunted House in Kennesaw, GA ... Please feel free to add us on Facebook if you would like to communicate with any of us. Horror Hill and 13 Stories Haunted House will forever be dedicated to my wonderful father Gene "Pops" Glover.
You are forever in our thoughts.
