Halloween has come to a close alongside all the spooky activities that come with it. But for Mckamey Manor, striking fear into people is a year long festivitie. Mckamey Manor has gained a reputation of being the most extreme haunted house in America. But labeling Mckamey Manor as a haunted house is downplaying it. It is literally a tortue chamber. You can be physically, mentally, and emotionally abused. Before I get ahead of myself, let me give you the backstory.
Mckamey Manor was started by Russ Mckamey in San Diego and was run straight out of his house. It has now expanded to two other locations, one in Tennessee and one in Alabama. In order to gain access to the manor you have to be 21 years old+, or be 18 with parental approval. Then you get put on a waiting list of over 24,000 people. And if you end up at the top of the waiting list, you have to get a doctors note clearing you mentally and physically capable to experience Mckamey Manor. Then you have to sign a 40 paiged waiver in which it states they can expose you to hypodermic needles, tasers, shock collars, pulling teeth, and the list just keeps going on.
And if things can not get any worse, you are not allowed to leave. You can only be pulled out of the Manor if you are exhibiting signs of physical or physiological behavior. This means that they could hold you against your own will if they wanted to. This is not a haunted house. This is torture. There is no such thing as a waiver that will protect you from being held hostage.
This “attraction” should be shut down. Russ advertises Mckamey Manor as a mysterious form of entertainment, so of course the thrill seekers of the world are going to want to experience it for themselves. I don’t blame the adrenaline junkies of the world for wanting to visit the manor. I blame the Russ and the workers for holding people under water, exposing participants to carbon monoxide, and force feeding them their own vomit.
That's right, if you get so terrified that you lose control of you own bodily functions they will force feed it to you. It's so twisted and wrong on so many levels. And people who entered the manor are starting to speak out.
A place like this should be shut down or at least regulated. You can give people a scary experience without evoking a traumatic experience. People crave a rush, not a near death experience.
