When it comes to ranking the scariest attractions, Travel Channel and its adviser, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, named Kansas City’s epic haunted houses in the West Bottoms among the 10 scariest haunted attractions in the U.S.
The Edge of Hell is the oldest running commercial haunted house in the U.S, establised in 1975, focused on phobias, home to the record-breaking reticulated python and four-story slide. Visitors go through the depths of hell in this multi-storied haunted house. The Beast, located on 13th Street, includes lots of scares like the Thriller Dancers, Headless Horseman, and The Beast. This immersive nightmare leaves visitors losing their way through voodoo, werewolves, phantoms, and monsters. Macabre Cinema is staged as a 1930s haunted movie theater with a collection of actual horror-movie sets. Clowns, zombies, and ghouls will taunt and shadow you through movie sets from The Mummy, Hellraiser, and more. fullmoonprod.com
Atlas9 is an immersive narrative experience inside a transformed 90s movie theater, where scenes from “forgotten films” have come to life.

Visitors can enjoy food and drinks from a concessions stand, pizza parlor, or hidden speakeasy, then step into a 240-seat auditorium for live shows or a 1930s jazz club for music and performances. A classic arcade, secret story points, and a clandestine government agency add layers of discovery, while three distinct narrative arcs ensure no two visits are alike. Tech wearables enhance interactions, and staff helps guide each adventure. From concerts and weddings to corporate retreats, Atlas9 offers more than a story—it’s a playground of performance and exploration, located next to the Legends area in Kansas City, KS. atlas9.com
