Texas apparently knows how to do scary, too. 👻
Cutting Edge Haunted House in Fort Worth has been named the #1 haunted attraction in America in USA TODAY’s 2026 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards — marking its fourth consecutive year at #1.
And the setting makes it even creepier.
Cutting Edge operates inside a roughly 100-year-old former meatpacking plant near Fort Worth’s historic Hell’s Half Acre. The massive multi-story attraction takes visitors through dark corridors, live-action scenes and special effects, with the average walkthrough lasting around 55 minutes.
It was also the only Texas haunted attraction to make this year’s national Top 10.
So if you're looking for something spooky this October, apparently you don't have to leave Texas to find the best in the country.
Would you go through it — or are you staying safely outside?
