A Frightening Strategy: Amber Arnett-Bequeaith of Full Moon Productions
Scaring customers is business as usual for these hauntrepreneurs. 

By Kate Leibsle

Amber Arnett-Bequeaith knows her look confounds those with a preconceived notion of what someone in her business should look like. Up late interviewing zombies and ghouls for her four haunted houses the night before, Amber breezes into the Full Moon Production offices in a summer dress, coffee and notebook in hand, looking businesslike, and, well, normal.
“People think I should be Goth,” she said. “We’re not like that. We’re a true theatrical production.”
And the magnitude of their seasonal theatrical production is astounding. More than 200 “on-stage” and behind the scenes employees will frighten the bejeezus out of more than 100,000 people this year—in just 29 days—at the company’s four haunted houses in Kansas City.

Terror and horror have returned for the 35th season of Kansas City’s only world-class haunted house attractions. “The Beast” and “The Edge of Hell” haunted houses open this Labor Day weekend for those who dare to darken the doors of these haunts in the historic West Bottoms district. Haunted house goers should not be afraid, as emergency repairs are expected to be complete on the nearby 12th Street bridge over I-35 in time for opening day.

Halloween Kansas City Style

Halloween Kansas City Style

Reprinted from the September - October 2009 issue of KC Studio.

Not many people walking through a haunted house think that the characters scaring them into fits of collapsing screams and laughter realize the characters are actors trained to read the body language of the haunted house visitors and time their scares just right.

On a scale of 1 to 10…

On a scale of 1 to 10…
Giant snake at haunted house is the real deal!

In the interest of full disclosure, there are dozens of fabricated phantasms and optical illusions in Kansas City’s granddaddy of haunted houses, The Edge of Hell.

But that 24-foot Reticulated Python who looks like he could squeeze the evil out of the devil, himself?

That creature is real.
