Experience Edge of Hell Haunted House

The 47th Halloween season tradition of visiting the Edge of Hell is underway in 2021. Visitors go through the depths of hell in this multi-story haunted house. The haunt features phobias and a five-story fright from heaven to hell plus the world’s record, longest, living snake. Rat Man, vampires, and the devil on hand in your path by purgatory, hounds of hell, and stone-cold crypts. A truly sensory experience that brings on the heat.

Queen of Haunts, is a legacy in the haunt business, earning the title from her immense experience and achievement in the industry. Queen of Haunts started in the business of scare as a small child who slept in a coffin at the family's Edge of Hell attraction. Now, over 45 years later the attraction is still operating alongside her other nationally acclaimed haunts.

The Edge of Hell proudly supports the Don't Be A Monster anti-bullying program. Don't Be A Monster is a national nonprofit that works with haunted houses throughout the United States to offer anti-bullying assemblies to students. They are the largest nonprofit that works with haunted houses in the U.S, and we are proud to stand alongside them. For more information, visit www.DontBeAMonster.org.

World-Record Holder Snake, Medusa, Reticulated Python Wraps Herself into Kansas City’s Edge of Hell Haunted House Phobia Themes.

Medusa was born to be a Halloween star, when she slithered out of her egg October 13, 2004 – coinciding with the full "Hunters" moon. Medusa is a reticulated python with residences at Kansas City's Edge of Hell and Beast Haunted Houses. Her haunt owners and handler love to make this apex predator happy. They'll treat her to a swim in her pool and a feast on something that is eighty to 100 pounds - perhaps a deer or goats. The next few days after her meal, she'll nap contently in a sort of "meat coma."

As a working girl, she slithers around in her enclosure oblivious to her enormous size. Guinness World Records made the measure in 2011 for this world record-breaking long snake at 25'2" and 350 pounds. She has put on another 150 pounds give or take whatever and whenever she last ate. Her length is kept under wraps as she prefers curling up and having her handler, Larry Edgar, scratch her scales when she is shedding or taking her for a swim in her very own pool inside the Beast.

"We know this eater is happy - taking the haunt season all in stride with her ten-month vacation when the season wraps," said Amber Arnett-Bequeaith, aka Queen of Haunts

In the wild, her species average 10'-20’ long, and they hunt by constricting their prey in a matter of minutes. Whereas this haunt serpent just has to look like she'll squeeze the devil out of you for her role alongside werewolves and vampires in the haunted attractions.

While werewolves and vampires are mythological creatures, they have some hunting similarities to a python. A werewolf's instinct is to eat raw meat from its kill on a full moon after turning from a cursed man to a werewolf. In werewolf lore, a full moon brings out the beast in humans, and this is particularly true for the Beast Haunted House cast hungry to scare.

Vampires are also looking to feast on the living at night – preferring a blood meal. A full moon will restore a wounded vampire. A full moon during haunt season just adds charm to the occasion.
