History
Outside drummer at Cutting Edge Haunted House

Cutting Edge Haunted House was built in a 100-year-old abandoned meat packing plant in a section of Fort Worth that had once been referred to as "Hell's Half Acre." The meat packing equipment from the Old West is still in use, but now it is a two-story human processing area. Realistic looking human mannequins are hoisted up to the second level and brought through the entire meat packing process until the conveyor system brings the butchered corpses back to the first level. It also features live sets, animations, and dozens of live actors inside and outside the building. It takes visitors an average of 45 to 55 minutes to explore the entire haunted house. Cutting Edge Haunted House has been recognized by Guinness Book of World Records as the longest indoor haunted house in the world.[1][2] The attraction totaled 2,261.08 linear feet, start to finish (almost half a mile) as of 2009.[3]

In 2009, Cutting Edge held the title for the Longest Walk-through Horror House, taking 55 minutes to complete, not counting the surrounding outside environment.[4] A Guinness judge measured the distance of the attraction and validated it as the longest walk-through haunted house on record.[5] Cutting Edge was again awarded Guinness Records in 2015, for both the longest and largest haunted house.[6][7]
