The Beast Haunted House

Established in  1991, The Beast is known throughout the industry for it’s elaborate scenes and attention to detail.  The Beast pioneered the “open format,” where you’re not in a line, you’re wandering through the scenes, never knowing when an actor or activated device will rock into action.

It takes about 45 minutes to one hour to walk through The Beast – IF you don’t get lost in the fog in the werewolf forest, stuck in a maze or pulled through the light in the three story tower.  There werewolf forest is a full ¼ acre in size, the storm scene’s thunder and lightning will make your hair stand on end, the cobblestone streets of Jack the Ripper’s London will seduce you, beware the raging wolf!  And don’t forget the swamp with its blood thirsty alligators.  The exit is a four story slide, it’s straight down and blazing fast.

The Edge of Hell Haunted House

Established in 1975, The Edge of Hell began as Kansas City’s oldest and best haunted house and has molded into a national model for celebrating the Halloween season.
