Longest Walk Through Horror House Guinness Record Smashed by Factory of Terror

According to Guinness Book of World Records Canton, Ohio’s premier haunted attraction, Factory of Terror is now officially the largest haunted house on the planet. The former aluminum foundry turned house-of-horror at 4125 Mahoning Rd. NE in Canton, was measured on August 13th, Friday. John, Rich Jr. and Matt Eslich, owners were reported by the England-based Guinness organization that the haunted house they have created has smashed new record as “Longest Walk-Through Horror House” in the world.

The Longest Walk through Horror House record 3,318 feet is a winding path through terror-filled hallways, mazes, rooms and dilapidated factory chambers. Ongoing extensions of Eslich Brothers have resulted to beat the previous record of 2,262 feet by an overwhelming 1,050-plus foot.

Our goal was to make it the huge and scariest haunted attraction in the world, since we made The Factory of Terror in 2002. At that time it was sounded like a crazy thing to say, but with a bona fide world record, entering our 9th season

Although Guinness category is Horror House, the official name of the Eslich creation, a former aluminum factory at 4125 Mahoning Rd. NE, is the Factory of Terror.

In the early days, the John, Rich Jr. and Matt Eslich work at the family firm where their father, Richard Eslich, is president and owner. But as Sept. 24 rolls around, the brothers spend nights of weekend through Halloween planting nightmares at the Factory of Terror.

John credits his wife, a teacher, Stephanie, with spearheading the effort to capture a world record.
