Cutting Edge Haunted House

Very cool. The haunted house is MUCH longer than other traditional haunted houses, and three times inside they make everyone queue up again to regulate the flow of people (for maximum fear). I like their staff don’t scream at you, they make you scared by just waving at you silently — makes for a much better experience. The bubbles at the end are intense (so much so it was tough to breathe) think twice about going (they allow you to skip this) if you’re not into that sort of thing… otherwise you WILL GET SOAKING WET.

I went to Cutting Edge last weekend and we were able to go straight on in with our fast pass. The fast pass tickets are totally worth it because the regular line was very long.
The haunted house is about an hour long and the first 50 minutes were great. The workers scared us throughout most of the house, while still being professional. The chain saw was my scariest, but most favorite part. Of all of the haunted houses I’ve been to, this is the most scary one.
The part that made me not like this haunted house and never want to go again is the end. I don’t want to be a spoiler, but I will just say that we had plans after the haunted house and couldn’t go because we were soaked from head to toe. It was cold outside when we got out of the haunted house and were drenched. Imagine having to drive back to Dallas in wet jeans, socks, and shoes.
I guess if I had the option to go through the last phase or not, I would have been happier with the outcome. But, since I had no option, they pretty much wasted our money because the last phase was not scary at all. It was pointless and upsetting.
If you plan to go here, make sure you bring an extra change of clothes with you! Also, wear tennis shoes that you don’t care about because it’s wet and muddy in there. But, definitely don’t wear nice clothes in there.

This haunted house was amazing, my boyfriend and I went on Halloween night and they knocked us off our feet !!! Great job guys !!

It’s an ‘okay’ haunted house that we certainly would go back to! Gave it an extra star for the fact it took us just under an hour to go through the place at a leisurely pace. I’ll do Cutting Edge any day over some other place that you’re done in 20 minutes! Now management, it could really be put to the next level with a LOT more actors throughout the place and some better lighting effects. Some sections were just too dark to get a good effect of being scared & felt more jokey instead (such as the big dino-​demon heads). I think beefing up their actor cast could really break this out of their own limitations since it seemed the gigantic space’s every inch has been used. Also recommend some actors in the ‘i-​want-​to-​live’ door maze to make it more fun or maybe some fake doors instead! It has 3 rest areas to space groups out, loved the bomb-​ass super loud band in the 1^st waitin groom. Also caution to goers when pounding rain outside, there were a ton of leaks and wet floors. Be careful, we fell a few times especially on the upwards ramp in the casket room before exiting. Visited on 10÷30÷15 in the pouring rain, having braved the flashing signs from Dallas warning of potential flooding. Cutting Edge truly open, rain or shine!

This haunted wasn’t that great, I’ve been here 3 times each a different year but always feel the same way each time. Not enough scare to many empty spaces and rooms, they need more actors. I guess the place is to big to fill with actors… just really not worth it. Pointless maze walk kinda towards the end still don’t know what the point of the maze was just a bunch of people walking in circles. Foam pit was kinda fun but you better keep your head in your shirt as you walk through cause I’m sure it wont taste good lol NOTE that if you’re claustrophobic you should do the bypass route.

Had so much fun. I do have one question if someone can answer. The last room before you get to the bubble tunnels, has some odd tune playing. What is that tune? Where can I find it? I find this awkwardly soothing. This is the room where it’s so cloudy you can hardly see anything and it is wet and like green things are hanging from the walls.

First time going to a haunted house and I must admit it was CRAZY fun and SUPER scary!!! Great job!!! We got the Super Pass and it was totally worth it! Only reason I gave it the 4 stars was because someone in the middle of all the scariness some water just started shooting out!!! Lol. I didn’t like that but oh well! I got over it!!! Again, great job!!!

It would’ve been 4 stars… But…
This was my first time visiting Cutting Edge and I’ve been a Fort Worth native my whole life. I won’t bore you with how it’s not in the best part of town, or how it’s cash only with no refunds and quite expensive at $ 30 a pop. What I will tell you is that it is a very long and enjoyable haunted house, for the first 55 minutes (out of 60). The actors do their best to scare the pants off you and the special effects are quite good for a haunted house. My fiancée screamed so much, haha.
But, the last 5 minutes lost this place two stars in my book. After walking through a blinding strobe light room, you face a long arena pit full of soap foam bubbles. It seems cool at first, but once you start wading in, it quickly goes from fun and different to absolutely awful and terrifying (but in a «I’m dying» way). Yes, there are warnings for people with breathing problems and asthma, but even as a perfectly normal guy with regular lungs, I felt myself gasping for air and blinded by the bubbles. They surround you in 360 degrees and above you. There is no getting out of it easy. I felt myself choking, and quite frankly scared of drowning (as silly as that sounds). Once emerging to the end of the attraction, I was choking, spitting and nearly vomited… the soap also completely drenches your clothes, so you can dry out in the chilly North Texas fall, OR, get in your car and soak the seats. It has absolutely no place in the attraction and ruins a fairly good experience otherwise. There is a door to bypass the foam pit and I highly recommend it.
4 stars… Ruined to 2 stars by the finale.

The experience was mediocre to say the least. I was expecting more for the price. The price is high, then on top of that you have to pay for parking. I did not like the fact that there was smoke throughout the entire house! It became irritating to my eyes after a while. The smell did not help either. The actors were ok I guess. Nothing spectacular. I believe I am easy to scare. In the house I probably only jumped 2 or 3 times. The best thing was the «moving» bridge rooms. The worst part was the bubbles. I usually try not to read reviews for things like this as not to spoil the experience. In this case, I wish I would have done the opposite! The bubbles at the end were terrible! I could hardly see or breathe. On top of all that YOU GET SOAKED! Hair, clothes, shoes, EVERYTHING!!! Honestly, I was quite disappointed. I do not think I will return.

Big, long haunt. Not very scary, and far too many people. I’ve been a few times and I always feel it was one of the least enjoyable haunts every time I leave.

Last night, 10/​18/​2015, was the second time I had been to The Cutting Edge Haunted House. My friends and I had such a good time, so I wanted to visit again. I ended up going with one friend who I also went with the first time. We were having a great time being scared by the actors, until we reached the point where the man had what I’m pretty positive was a live snake. He put the snake in our faces, on our necks & backs, and chased us with the snake. We were at the back of our group, and my friend ended up falling & I tripped over her and hit my head on the concrete ground. The man holding the snake continued to put the snake on our backs as we were on the ground. We finally pushed through the others in our group to get away, which made some girls mad and threatened to beat us up. The snake mad somehow found us 2 more times before we reached the end chasing us with the snake and letting it touch us. Yes, we paid money to get scared, but this was crossing the line! Ridiculous! It was very hard to find our way out of the bubble room, the bubbles were literally choking us and going up our noses to where we were panicking from not being able to breathe or find our way out. When we finally made it out, I asked a police officer if my face was bleeding and if it looked like I needed to get it taken care of. He laughed and said nothing. So here I am, the next day with my head still throbbing, feeling light-​headed and honestly very traumatized. I loved the house the first time I went, but after this experience I can say that I will NEVER go back. Horrible experience that has left me in pain and tears. I will be posting pictures of my injury.

Three stars is definitely where this haunted house is at. I need to first point out that we waited in line for almost three hours. This place is popular but holy smokes were we exhausted by the time we went inside. I don’t think the fast pass to the front is worth purchasing either. The only element of fear used is the jump out and scare you technique. I wish it would’ve been a little more creative. If you’re looking for scary this may not be where you wanna go. I get scared super easily and this just didn’t scare me at all! They did do an amazing job with the visuals in this place however. The scenery in this haunted house was pretty awesome! Just really wish there were more elements of fear used rather than the simple jump out and scare you thing. That’s what a haunted house is about and it completely lacked it. More terror please

Didnt like the face painting because it wasnt that scary wish they would of used scary mask instead. I was scared at first but then as the tour went on all went away. Best part of the tour was the moving tunnel that was really dope! The worst was the slush od dirt and water we had to walk thru where there should of been foam

This place is the poorest excuse of a business. In the business world, you have to respect and help the people that go to your business for whatever circumstances you serve, whether it be food or entertainment. There is nothing respectable about this establishment. In their terms of agreement that everyone must agree to upon purchasing a ticket, that used to read, «do not touch any actors and they will not touch you.» Also, it use to state that they did not use live animals. Short while ago, during my second visit to this haunted house, understanding that at the time, they did not use live animals, I had no fear. This was not the case. I was chased by a man who was holding snake, and upon realizing that this was my number one phobia, he chased me through several scenes of the house and placed the snake in face face, on top of and all around my head, causing me to push/​run past certain individuals as well as hit, hurt, and bruise both my legs and arms on walls and props that I ended up hitting. After this experience, I attempted on several occasions to email or call anyone in charge to discuss the potential legal consequences, though I was not going to push any, that could come from directly lying on their terms of agreement and placing live animals into the exhibit as well as touching me. No response was given, no one attempted to reach out to me, I was simply ignored. Curiously enough, I went to the website today to get that direct quote out of there about their agreement to not touch their customers, it had disappeared, and was replaced with a paragraph about their use of live snakes. How ironic. You can’t treat your customers like crap and expect them to continue to come. Yes this haunted house has won many awards and is quite entertaining, but if you don’t value your customers and their opinions, The quality of your product decreases. If I could give them zero stars instead of one, I would.

Cons (My biggest gripes):
The price for this haunted house was simply not worth it for the quality. Sure it’s been voted biggest haunted house, but that doesn’t matter if half of it is filled with pointless things. For example, I’ve been to other haunted houses and in-​between sets, they still have scary things going on, such as actors actually chasing you in costume, and scaring you. Here at Cutting Edge, not only are the employees rude, and more than unhappy to be there, they just stick out their hand signaling you to wait, until they let you advance forward. THAT WAS ALREADY A BIG, RED FLAG. At one point during the haunted house, we literally were in a room where it just had a status of Zeus posing with a skull in one hand and a lightning bolt in another. THAT’S LITERALLY IT; with some worker there (not even in costume by the way), who just sat in a chair in front of a computer, telling us to wait before we could go into the next area of scares. What the **** was that? It’s one thing to totally kill your thrill/​adrenaline level by making you wait in a boring room with nothing going on, but it’s overkill when the employee working doesn’t even look like they want to be there. And, I understand that this place thrives on being dark, but you can still make a haunted house moderately dark, WHILE KEEPING IT SCARY! If it’s too dark to even see anything, then there really isn’t a point to having detailed props/​actors. You might as well charge people 35 dollars to sit in a dark room. another complaint I have is that this place prides itself on being the biggest haunted house in the world. Honestly, any haunted house can be big when you fill it with random, pointless areas for the sake of making the haunted house bigger. For example, out of the many boring areas we had to wait in, the one that my group and I thought was extremely stupid, was when they had us wait in front of these 4 doors for about 8 minutes so that other groups, outside of the small 4 – 8 we entered with, could catch up to us. The workers there just gave us glowsticks and told us, in a very rude fashion, to back up all the way against the wall and to form an orderly single line. The lady working didn’t even let me have my hood on, and she even had the audacity to push me against the wall and force it off of me. What the hell was that about? And, after making us wait, for what seemed like forever, they hyped up a video on the t.v. with Jigsaw from the «Saw» franchise tell us that we have to choose 1 of the 4 doors to go through and that we have to find a door that says «I want to live» and not to take any emergency exits unless told otherwise. From this point on, I just wanted to get this ****in’ haunted house over with. ALL 4 DOORS LITERALLY OPEN UP TO THE SAME BIG AREA. THERE IS NO POINT IN CHOOSING SEPARATE DOORS AT ALL. THEY ALL LEAD TO THE SAME AREA RIGHT AWAY. And, during this whole «game» there is just a pointless maze without a goal. It’s just a maze to be a maze, there is no door that says «I want to live,» and after your time is up, lights turn on telling you to go to the emergency exits. DURING THIS WHOLE PERIOD OF RUNNING AROUND THIS POINTLESS MAZE, NOTHING IS GOING ON, THERE ARE NO ACTORS, NO PROPS, NOTHING. LITERALLY JUST BIG WALLS THAT HAVE ARROWS WHICH SAY EMERGENCY EXIT ON THEM. This was the lamest part of the whole haunted house, and the most pointless. They literally waste 15 minutes of your time to just make you walk around confused with over 30 people just walking around in there with you, trying to find this non-​existent door. Another complaint I have is that the actors are not scary at all. Just waving your hand in front of my face is stupid as hell. Aren’t you ACTors? Emphasis on ACTing. Shouldn’t you be in character? Doing more than just waving your hand in front of my face in an effort to make me «jump»? At other haunted houses, I’ve literally had the same actor follow and stalk my group for up to 10 minutes at a time, which totally plays a handful on your psyche.
A part that I really, really hated was the foam bubble hallway. THIS. WAS. VERY. DANGEROUS. Not scary. DANGEROUS.
1^st. They made this corridor way too long for how much they doused you in these bubbles. I couldn’t even see a thing, because the foam was everywhere, and I couldn’t even breathe. I was scared for my life, not out of some psychological fear mind you, but because I actually couldn’t breathe from choking on water. I had to run, shove and push through several people to get out just so I could breathe.
2^nd. I can understand that you’re trying to play on the whole, claustrophobia thing, but this hallway was too long for how dangerous it was. The foam was TOO much.
I have so many more complaints, but Unilocal limits how much I can write.
Pros: one after the other tunnel bridges that have moving spirals (other houses usually only have one) which make you super disoriented.

Terrible in 2014. Employees were lazy and even when I found a manager and complained he said, «we’re busy». I stood in line for 3 hours and was not impressed in the end. Next year I will not come here, waste of money!!! Haunted houses should be totally equipped for a busy night. ITS THERE ONE JOB!

Rated #6 in 2014 on a list of the scariest haunted houses in the entire country. World’s longest haunted house.

(A HAUNTED HOUSE… WHERE YOU GET TO KNOW PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW ON A SOMEWHAT INTIMATE LEVEL)) .I DO love a good haunted house! The first time I went here, I didn’t know what to expect. Let’s just say, I got the daylights scared out of me! I like how they interact with you, walk around before you go in. I also REALLY like the fact that there is so much security! I absolutely enjoy this haunted house! The last time I went was hilarious!! I I went with one of my best girlfriends and we were grouped with some people we didn’t know. They had NEVER been through it before. They were walking behind me and she was so scared that she literally attached herself to me! I didn’t even know her! Was such a blast and so funny! She was screaming in my ear while her friend behind her was in tears crying!!! HA-​HA! After it was all over and we got outside we all gave each other a big hug and had some good laughs about it! We also took photos together! Thanks for the good time and wonderful memories!
P.S— Parking does cost 10.00 to park your car there. Some people consider it pricey to get in. You can get a pretty good online deal SOMETIMES that is cheaper then if you buy when you get there. I believe it is worth it, as I believe all the haunted houses in the DFW are seem to run in the same price range — — — — -
. The prices are Adult $ 29.95(Plus Tax & $ 3.25 Service Fee) OR a Speedpass — Adult $ 49.95(Plus Tax & $ 3.25 Service Fee)

The Child tickets are $ 24.95(Plus Tax & $ 3.25 Service Fee)
. Ages 10 and younger
OR a Speedpass — Child $ 44.95(Plus Tax & $ 3.25 Service Fee) Ages 10 and younger.
P. S.S– Expect and be ready for a lot of traffic. They do have people that direct the traffic and tell you where to park. I have had to park a LONG ways out and over a highway bridge a couple of times. Also be prepared to stand in line with a lot of a people for quite a long while. They have been moving the line at a pretty good speed when I was there last time.
P. S.S.S.– They DO NOT take credit cards when you buy your ticket if you buy it there. They do have an ATM. The line is usually pretty long for it. I suggest bringing cash or purchasing the tickets online.
One last thing– Wear comfy clothes, good walking shoes and clothes you do not mind getting wet.

As a haunted house i think this is very good. There are 2 parts that really made me feel extremely intimidated– the long closets and the bubble room. Before today i never know how do you make a long closet scary, and i never know that being in a room completely full of bubbles would make you feel you’re suffocating so bad.
It was way too dark. I kind of feel its a shame that you can’t see the actor’s face make up and costume as some of them are very very delicate work.
I got the Groupon and think its well worth the money for a place that take 54 minutes to walk through.
warning:
1. parking is 10 bucks
2. you well get completely wet in the end
3. It is very smokey and dark. I started to get dizzy and needed a break cuz of the smoke is kinda choking me.
4. it is hot in there (i do not know how the actors work in there for hours). dont wear too many clothes.
Also think they should have a tip jar for the actors… they did a good job and its just HOT in there!!!

Let the jeers begin
If you want to consider a good value for your money based on how «long» the haunted house is then this is a winner. Personally have been more frightened at the ranch near my house that does a small haunted house every year and for a third of the price. Don’t get me wrong. If you get startled by someone surprising you in a mask then this is the place for you. I’ve been more scared watching a scary movie. But go ahead – I’m sure you’re to try this once.
