The Longest Walk-Through Horror House

On 12 September 2009, and getting ready for this year’s Halloween season, Guinness World Records™ Adjudicator, Carlos Martinez, visited the longest walk-through horror house: The Cutting Edge Haunted House in Fort Worth, Texas, USA.

This abandoned meatpacking warehouse, built in the late 1920's, measures a total length of 689.17 m (2,261.08 ft) from stepping into the house, to the end of the horrifying walk. It is a walk that averages 55 minutes for the visitors to complete, full of scary haunted house props, spooky ghosts, frightening haunted decorations, strobe lights, fog and monsters along the way.

After taking all measurements and surviving to the adventure of walking through the entire house, the Guinness World Records Adjudicator announced, exactly at midnight, that a new world record had been set.

Todd James, the owner of this haunted house, received the Guinness World Records certificate and chainsaws cut the ribbons that started the zombie celebration party in the house’s cemetery.

The celebrations lasted, of course, till dawn.
