Since 1975 The Edge of Hell has preyed upon phobias and provided five-story fright from heaven to hell. Outside entertainment includes music, Thriller Dancers, the headless horseman, hay rides, fun with your family and friends and much more.

This spectacular haunt is a five-story building located at 1200 W. 13th Street that challenges the customer to face up to their most instinctive fears. Man has always reached for the domain of heaven but balanced precariously close to succumbing to his sins and spiraling to The Edge of Hell.

The bats wait silently in the cool dark of autumn and smell the fear begin to mount when the customers travel down the dilapidated early 20th century 12th Street bridge into a morass of ancient warehouse buildings. The gargoyles cast eerie shadows from the top of the Edge of Hell through the artistic lamp posts offering guiding light. Basic instincts tell you to turn away but the flames that grace the windows call for your soul.

This primal fear is punctuated by "Ratman" who scampers by seeming to bite the head off of a live rat. Entering into an early American sitting room with a piano, fireplace and ghost dancing, an intense thunderstorm instantly sweeps you into its power. The wind blows and the candles flicker as you wait to purchase your ticket. There is an eerie presence of a demon that possesses the grand staircase. Your chest is now pounding and screams are coming from all around you as the lightning strikes and your ticket is taken, for there is no return.

The sights are breathtaking as you stumble and grope for security in the dark. Raging dogs attack from the darkness and there you see Dracula on his terrace pondering his next victim. With no direction you flee into the black hole for safety. Bats screech with delight and you realize too late that living among the dead does not offer a safety net. Pumping blood and the smell of rotting flesh crash your senses. You are gasping for air in the underground graveyard and the gravel and bones that line this god forsaken tomb rip the flesh from your own fingertips.

A burning candle outlines Dracula's crypt where he not only sleeps and protects himself from the sunlight but stores his half drained victims for feeding. A faint whispering is directing you forward and then you see poised and in front of you the world's largest captive anaconda. Her belly is large with the latest prey she has captured and swallowed whole. However, her whispering forked tongue and lidless gaze draw you into a raptured state.

Suddenly, a beautiful song captures your soul and hope is restored. A bright light stings the darkness and a glimpse of heaven reveals itself. The Ten Commandments are being recited and your life flashes before your eyes. The mind begs for forgiveness as the purgatory drains your inner ghost. Souls scream and cry begging to stay in heaven. But you are sucked into the vortex, a five story slide that takes you into the arms of the devil himself. Drained, you pass the devil's den and into the dim light of the concession for the Edge of Hell, repentant and alive.

The Edge of Hell and The Beast creators have served up the best to fright fans in the 45 to 60 minutes it takes to wind and slide through the houses as they pass the chilling combination of special effects, Hollywood-style costumes and make-up, movie quality props, real characters and animatronics.   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.
