Haunted house actor accidentally stabs 11-year-old with real knife in Ohio

BEREA, Ohio (WOIO/Gray News) - An 11-year-old boy was stabbed at the haunted house attraction at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds on Saturday.

Berea police were called out to the 7 Floors of Hell for a boy stabbed in the foot around 8:15 p.m., WOIO reported.

According to the victim and a family friend who was him, when they arrived, they were approached by one of the roaming outside actors who was using a large Bowie knife as a prop to scare people.

The actor then allegedly scraped the knife on the ground and began to stab the area near them, accidentally cutting through the victim’s Croc-style shoe.

“actors” to use real items. They were supposed to use props or rubber items.

I use to go to a lot of haunted houses years ago. I don’t recall seeing knives, but I saw pitch forks, scythes, and other real tools. I’ve had “actors” pound in a metal rail with a very real hammer within an inch of my hand. I’ve had a chainsaw (without the chain) hit me in the ass several times as I was trying to get around the corner, and out of the room, as two women tried to climb over me trying to go in the other direction. (OK that last part was fun, but those chainsaws hurt even without the chain).
