Containment

One of the most unique and completely original haunts I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing, as well as one of the largest. Terrifying and visually elaborate, Containment plays on all of your most deep seeded fears and brings them out in the open, and then tears them to bloody shreds. :D Very realistic animatronics and sets, and actors whom you can tell really love their jobs. Excellent makeup effects as well as costumes and props! It’s well worth the drive to Hiram!

Not anywhere near as good as Netherworld. This is the second haunted house I’ve been to. I was pretty scared going in… but after that. there weren’t many scary parts. Then again, it is only their first year. I think they’ll only get better from here on.
SN: I definitely don’t think it was worth $ 25 … It was more of a $ 12 – 15 haunted house.

i ddnt scare at all, kinda waste of 25 bucks. If you are tired with other haunted house, then its something new to you. I laugh most of the time, they need to hire more people to scare us. I hope next year it will be better.

A waste, an absolute waste of 25 dollars a ticket. They could’ve turned out the lights in the parking deck and had a scarier scenario. All 6 people employed for this haunted house, are not nearly enough to make this g-​rated family fun house into anything beyond boring and aggravatingly impotent

BAD! Payed $ 25 to walk through what felt like an attraction at Disney World. They only had a handful of actors, everything else was animatronic. The only thing that startled our group was the blasts of air from the ceiling. This was a very poor attempt at a Haunted House.

It was absolutely the best horror house I have ever been too! I lost my voice screaming and laughing at the same time. It is the best! Worth every penny for a good time.

I’ve never actually been in a haunted house before so I don’t really have anything to compare this with. I enjoyed the experience and didn’t freak out too much. Maybe it’s a great intro into haunted houses?
This place is located in Atlantic Station. It costs $ 25. I thought that was a bit steep, but maybe that’s the going rate for haunted houses. We had about a 15 minute wait to enter the place. While you are in line, you can hear people screaming, banging, chain saws, and lots of other creepy haunted house noises.
The «house» is a series of cargo containers where each container is a different scenario. It sometimes got a bit confusing when you exit one container to figure out the direction you need to go for the next one. There are arrows most of the time, but a few were a bit confusing. You are outside when you go between containers so keep that in mind. You also get wet. My shoes and jeans were damp from one of the scenarios.
I am a big scaredy cat and I thought this place was creepy. Give it a try if you like haunted houses. Maybe I will work up the nerve to go to Netherworld next.

This was by FAR this worst $ 25.00 I have ever spent. I have seen lots of chintzy haunted houses, but this tops them all. Out of all 25,000 sq. ft of haunted entertainment there were a grand total of 10 actual human beings used as props to scare, everything else was animatronics that left little to be fearful of. I get it, this is their first year, but I had hoped it would be more than what it was. The best part of this event was the picture that you took in the beginning, but at $ 15.00 each, again not worth it. This haunted house left me feeling robbed and under whelmed. Sorry guys, better luck next year? But I won’t be back willing to fork over another $ 25.00 to be disappointed.

Containment is Atlanta’s newest haunted attraction. It’s located in Atlantic Station and is the largest haunted attraction inside the perimeter. The attraction is called Containment because, as the story goes, a train derailed on the Atlantic Station property, spilling large cargo containers filled with demonic artifacts. Oooh!
Containment opened last Friday, October 4 and runs every night through November 3. The attraction opens each night at 7pm. Closing times vary. See Containment’s calendar for details:
. Tickets are $ 25 per person and can be purchased online or on-​site. This price is on par with other Atlanta haunts such as Netherworld ($ 22/​$ 28), Chambers of Horror ($ 17/​$ 22), and 13 Stories ($ 25).
I love scary stuff. I love horror movies and I love haunted houses. Needless to say, I was excited when I learned what those creepy eyes from Atlantic Station, hovering over I-​85, represented — a new haunted house! Well, it’s not a haunted house, technically. It’s a quarter-​mile long path through a maze of shipping containers, 25,000 square feet total.
Of the haunted houses I’ve been to in Atlanta, this is the only one I’ve experienced with parts of the attraction located outdoors. So you’ll want to visit when the weather permits. We were originally planning to go Sunday, but didn’t because of the rain. Dress appropriately for the weather. Also, you may get wet (from water). Parts of my jeans got soaked last night from one of the scares.
When you first arrive to Containment, there’s a green screen where you can take a souvenir group photo with zombies. Then, you’re led into the first container…

I’m not going to explicitly spoil any specific event, but rather give a general overview of what the atmosphere and experience is like.
First off, as a whole, I think the attraction is very well put-​together. The concept, layout, art, props, costumes, makeup, and special effects are generally high quality and good stuff. It’s evident the folks who built Containment are pros at what they do. Bravo.
Each container has a different creepy, horrific, or terrifying theme. I kind of think of it like each container (or outdoor area) has its own story. The attraction is gritty and gives off a Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Mad Max vibe. Themes you’ll encounter include dolls, a meat locker, an asylum, a bathroom, a kitchen, a roomful of mirrors, mannequins, zombies, death, torture, and outright lunatics. What you won’t find are containers themed after the supernatural or ghosts, which is what I always hope for.
You’re guided through the maze with arrows and human guides. There are a lot of jump scares, so be ready (or not). It can get borderline excessive/​cheap, but all in good fun. I prefer getting creeped out more than jump-​scared. The scares can come from any number of sources from animatronics to digital displays to actors.
There are *many* actors, perhaps the most I’ve seen for any local haunted attraction. They all do a good job. Some are more convincing than others, of course. As with other haunted houses, don’t touch the actors and they won’t touch you… they’ll just get really uncomfortably close. :)

I had a really good time at Containment. My only gripe is the entire experience is short. Then again, that’s my gripe with almost every haunted house. I want them to last longer! The entire walk lasted only about 15 minutes. My advice: take your time and try to take in all of the disturbing sights and sounds of each container and outdoor area. Sometimes it’s hard, but it’s neat to see what they’ve set up. You may miss something if you go too fast.
We went on a Tuesday night around 9:00pm and there was no line. In fact, we were some of the only customers at the entire attraction during the time we were there. Hopefully, business picks up. The only reason I knew about Containment is because I follow @AtlanticStation on Twitter.
Parking in Atlantic Station is plentiful and free for the first two hours. The entrance to Containment can be found on Market St, not far from Dillard’s.
If you like haunted houses and scary stuff and are looking for something fun to do in Atlanta this month, I do recommend checking out Containment.
