World’s Largest Snake at Kansas City Haunted House

Weird on so many levels!! At 350 pounds and 25 feet long -- this snake called "Medusa" is on display at "The Edge of Hell", a haunted house in Kansas City. Held in the picture below by what I am hoping is some of the "cast":

Here's the link to the story:

which includes juicy details like "Medusa does pretty well on a diet that includes rabbits, hogs and deer, served to her every two weeks."

Her handler Larry Edgar keeps her away from the crowds, reminding us that "she always has the upper hand", and that "people have been cut out of reticulated pythons before." Which of the cast members could be cut out of the python next?

Let the Halloween festivities begin!!

This snake ain't even close to The World's Largest. I saw a documentary a few years ago about a truly BIG snake. It was entitled, ANACONDA. In fact, that snake was soooooo big, they had to do 2 sequels just to tell the tail.

My family runs those spook-houses...all 4 of them (Edge of Hell, KC Beast, Chambers of Edgar Allan, and Macabre Theatre).

Great! Then, can you tell us, is there any truth to the stories about employees going missing every couple of weeks? 😛

To my knowledge, employees do not go missing from there like that. However, I have heard some very interesting stories about the Edge of Hell's First year (both of my parents worked in it that year). One of them had some mice getting loose from one room and they found their way into the room doing the pit and the pendulum...they would run up to the guy's body while the blade was up high, and eat at the real chicken guts being used to simulate his injuries, and run away as the pendulum fell.
The guy thought it tickled.
