Outside drummer at Cutting Edge Haunted House
Cutting Edge Haunted House was built on the foundation of a 100-year-old abandoned meat packing plant in a section of Fort Worth that had once been referred to as "Hell's Half Acre".[ 4] The equipment is still in use as a "two-story human conveyor system".[ 1] Mannequins are hoisted up to the second level and brought through the entire meat packing process until the conveyor system brings the "butchered corpses " back to the first level.[ 1] It includes live sets, animations , and dozens of live actors inside and outside the building. The average duration of the experience is 45 to 55 minutes and is a total of around 2,261 feet (689 m) linearly as of 2009.[ 5]
