The Beast is the scariest place in the country

​West Bottoms haunted house, The Beast, has topped the Best Haunted House list at Haunted House Ratings.com.

The site names the top 31 haunted houses in the country based on user reviews. Another KC haunted house, The Edge of Hell, came in at number 13.

Kendall and I visited both last year. Full-disclosure: I was three sheets to the wind, and well past scaring. I did have a great time, though. This year, I’ll try it without taking the edge off, and see how that goes.
