History

In 1991, Cutting Edge Haunted House opened their first location in Austin, Texas before relocating in 1998 to a former meat-packing factory in Fort Worth, Texas that was left abandoned for several years. The meat-packing plant resided in a historical section of Fort Worth, Texas referred to as Hell's Half Acre, which in the 19th century was well known for saloons, brothels, and rampant violence. The building remained untouched for nearly a century before being purchased and being turned into a haunted house. The meat-packing plant's original conveyor system was repurposed as part of the attraction with prop "butchered corpses" and mannequins being conveyed up and around the two stories of the building. Cutting Edge Haunted House includes live sets, animations, and live actors as part of the attraction. In 2009 and 2015 the Guinness World Records recognized the attraction as the "longest walk-through horror house " with a total length of 2,261 feet.
