“In a time when most haunted houses were single-file mazes of actors in monster masks scaring an audience of teenagers, the Blackout Experience emerged. Starting in a small Manhattan theater in 2009, Blackout made a name for itself by curating personal horrors for adults only and delivering disturbing realism.”

The violence/sex crossover in horror is gross. Any man who would create a scenario where assault is accepted is a potential danger to others IMO.
Yeah, this sounds way too "I Spit on Your Grave."
I do agree with this for sure.
It’s going too far, I agree
Yes. I imagine it would attract violent predators.
YUP!
Shoutout to Reckless Ben for exposing Russ of McKamey Manor. CZcams is trying to hide Bens videos & is striking his channel but he’s putting out good content on this “Manor” that absolutely needs to be viewed. This guy Russ is a sick disturbed individual who needs to be put into an institution immediately.
was looking through the comments for someone like you. he did/has done so well in his doc
That was an amazing documentary and all his stuff is great...
@@sammi1471whats the name of the documentary please.
@@paulsecrest9427 the beginning is "infiltrating mckamey manor". channel name is reckless ben. he's done several parts now
Can you help me understand the problem. No doubt Russ is messed up but if these people are signing up to get tortured then thats their problem
I love the “I don’t want to call anyone out but there’s been some pushback”, but if you watch the sesh you know it’s Janelle and Karelly 😂
I think places like these can so easily attract people that are trying to legally hurt and exploit people and are using this as a front for their own fantasies which can be very dangerous, Russ Mckamey for example is definitely one of these people. I think these places should be regulated.
I agree. Not one single person in their right mind would do that, as an actor or a participant either one. Both need serious mental help IMO.
Totally agree
@@cupcakesandcameosyup!!!
I agree 100%. These people are sick and very disturbed individuals. 😮
So, are people that have bondage kinks sick as well?
Who WANTS to be sexually assaulted?? This is insane!
And to think whoever is doing the sexual assult is extremely disturbing!!
Must be people who live a vanilla life who never experienced anything. Because anyone in their right mind with past trauma and experiences wouldn't sign up for this.
Completely agree. There are real SA victims and this is tone dead and gross especially the people who are okay with pretending to harass or assault people
This is an actual fetish. I know people who have arranged a kidnapping and rape of themselves by a stranger. There are groups for it. And it's mostly women who have the fetish. It's pretty fascinating to talk to them.
@katherinerivera8061 your virtue is blinding me
There are a lot of people who have a r@pe fetish. It's a known and actually fairly common thing. There is always going to be a huge difference between real SA and something that you sign up for, no matter how hard you try to make it feel like the real thing, obviously. But yes, it's absolutely a thing. And not just in people that have repressed trauma.
This a a “no-go” for me. I don’t understand the concept of a fear experience. I love haunted houses and Halloween is my jam, but Blackout sounds horrendous. How is a pseudo sexual rape scene fun? It’s just wrong.
Sexual violence is not a fun halloween thing to do. It's insane. I completely agree w your comment
Agree utterly
I will never understand this kind of thing. Violence and sexual assualt is not something to be simulated for fun. The kind of things that are being talked about being done here sound a lot like the kind of abuse that happens in certain circles. Humans need to look at their shadow side and heal themselves. Too much darkness is being viewed as entertainment- this stuff is opening doorways to lines being blurred between fantasy and reality. The people employed to do this disturbing stuff will also be affected on a psychological level. Plenty of horrific things happen in real life every day, without glorifying it as something "fun". I dont think some people realise that even if you have fun at this kind of place, what you experience buries deep into your psyche. There will be long term emotional and psychological effects. Great reporting on it guys, I just personally think these kind of places shouldn't be allowed. Im someone who is a previous fan of intense horror, everything we consume has an effect on us.
True.. but..... there are lots of things you probably enjoy, that others may not want to be simulated for fun.
But you choose to enjoy it.
Oooh! I love that you guys are promoting Mr. Ballen.
loveeee mr ballen
I bet MrBallen doesn't want jackshit to do with sexually assaulting folks 😂
@Reggiezombie That's not what she said 😁
McKamey Manor is local to me and I honestly have never been able to understand how he gets away with what he has…
You should watch Reckless Ben, if you haven’t. He has been investigating mckamey manor and it’s soooooo good and crazy!
I’m a therapist and I can say that for sure there is the possibility of there being lingering effects.
Agreed. Absolutely agreed!
*oooops, not a therapist, clinician with psych education above my requirements.
How this is legal is beyond me
Because it’s not real, no one is getting physically hurt and everyone involved are adults who know what they are signing up for..now mckamey manor on the other hand, I don’t see how that’s legal to physically hurt and torture someone..I get the whole contract thing but I thought contracts don’t matter when someone gets physically harmed
It’s really sad that a lot of ppl don’t know that waiver and contracts can be VOIDED WHEN A CRIME IS COMMITTED
Sidenote: the way people speak of it as therapy. Reminds me of some aspects of bdsm, ive heard many people speak of it the same way. The safe environment, the ability to tap out at any time, and the sexual aspects in particular reminds me of CNC (consentual non-consent) & the way it can help some people deal with their history of sexual assault. Very interesting episode.
Yeah, it's very obvious that a lot of people speaking on this don't actually understand what they're talking about at all. SA fantasies/fetishes and CNC is not uncommon at all, both in people with past trauma and without. It's a very complex topic, and I wish people would stop being so dismissive and narrow-minded about it.
@@shannonrickard8605real shi, but in this generation it’s always “my opinion matters more than anyone else” they think their the main character and anyone who doesn’t have the same views as them is wrong and shouldn’t be listened to🤦🏽♂️
it is such a privilege for men to say " i wish i could get back my fear" when women literally always feel fearful of men when just walking at night 😢
Many men also scared of other men n many other things walking at night.
@alexb6695 you can't compare the two, it's completely different.
A man can't get s.a'd into pregnancy or lose the ability to be pregnant. Yes as a man I know I'm personally afraid to walk alone at night but- I would never compare my fear to what ladies feel!
@@M4HIT0 I agree. How can anybody deny other person fear? Of course women has different type of fear. What I'm talking about is logical proportions of anybody's fear. I'm not exactly sure in which city/country she lives n what % of crimes they experience. N then compare it to other places.
In the end of the day "fear" will always be part of any human life. Difference is will u let it overtake your mind or not.
And then not to be able to do anything to legally terminate that pregnancy if he's in most states now.@@M4HIT0
True and I think these guys get that.
When you have first hand experienced terror and trauma in your life , you have no want or need to pay for an “ extreme fear experience “.
Seems like many of the people who pay for these experiences have had a safe and normalized mundane life. They are lucky . Strange that people want to experience trauma like it’s a novelty.
it’s actually quite common for trauma survivors/people with phobias etc. to want to experience simulated trauma/fears in a safe/consensual environment as a way to “take back power” just like that one reviewer said, it can be quite cathartic
@@LinusTheGlamper under the care of a professional therapist , not performance artists .
My guess is the majority who pay to go through Blackout are not trauma survivors of real horrors . It is disturbing that people have come to a place where experiencing trauma is a coveted novelty
@@SD0224because the world is getting sick
when you have first hand experienced terror and trauma in your life that was completely out of your control, going through simulated experiences like this can be extremely cathartic. don't generalize based on how you personally feel.
@@montgomeryquinn_ I’m not . I’m merely commenting on that sort of exercise should be facilitated by a professional therapist and not some theatre major or performance artist .
My other point is how people are treating trauma like a novelty to enjoy . It’s just a weird commentary on todays society .
I feel like only individuals who have lead a very privileged, free-from-horror life would elect to go through something like this. It’s kind of a slap in the face to real survivors.
Really I survived a 2 minute point blank fire fight. Being stabbed. Robbed. The list goes on and I'd sign up for this in a heartbeat. Maybe you're just a scared little person
@@charlieboy7502What do you have against little people? Bigot.
Shut up
@@charlieboy7502and maybe you need therapy instead of paying to reexperience your trauma 💀 sounds like unhealed wounds to me!
It's probably either to get into that "crap" than therapy though like the waiting lists alone are ages, even in countries with health isnurances xD Not that I'd to dare go through stuff like that, am def a scared lil Person but eh..peoples healing journeys also be individual, maybe? .@@erikajoslin6640
Unbelievable this is allowed! Love haunted houses but this is too far!
Way too far
PTSD is nothing to f*ck with so …. This is dicey.
OMG super excited to watch this 😊 I've heard of Blackout before but there isn't much information about this one. Also you guys should check out Reckless Ben and his mates who have done an amazing investigation into McKamey Manor 😁 it's absolutely unreal what they've achieved so far.
The reckless Ben investigation has been sooo good!
I'm rooting for Ben to get to have pizza with Russ!
Omg I just commented this too! You know I won’t say who but someone else covered this talking about the realism…. I commented on their channel and my comment got deleted immediately. I was kinda just like what? 😮
@@WeasleyGirl1767hahaha same 🤣 Ben managed to get Russ to record eating pizza on camera but it would be funny to see them actually get pizza together 😅😅
@@heyItsBillieJoDamn that sucks 😢 I always copy my comments before uploading them in case that happens 😭😭
I can't do haunted houses or anything like that. I already have enough anxiety just going to the grocery store in daily life nowadays.
I'm glad to see there was pushback to it in the comments, because the entire time I was watching I was rlly surprised that these guys didn't really have anything negative to say about it. Profiting off of simulating sexual assult and using that for entertainment seems so obviously messed up. The only type of person that I could possibly understand going through this is someone who is working through their feelings after being SA'd irl themselves, but they should still just go to therapy instead i think?
I go down this rabbit hole every single October 🤦🏻♀️
*JOSH DO AN EPISODE OF THE MYSTERIOUS CASES OF SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION!!!!*
that would be so freaking interesting!
I second this ^^^^^
@@Alita_N99 the whole subject is soo fascinating and I have yet to see anyone do a deep dive on the matter!
@@shayla_davenportthat would be cooooollllll i was obsessed as a kid. I feel like it only happened in 18th century when clothing was more flamable, everyone was constantly drunk or taking alcohol as medication and open fires were the only source of heat so theres some regular scientific reason for it……..im glad we dont just candle at random anymore 😂 but there’s definitely something not very spontaneous about it in reality
@@Elbowsmum
The weird thing is though, even if their clothing was flammable, how do they literally burst? You know what I mean? I really need a deep dive on this because it’s something I’ve thought about my whole life too.
Something is wrong with Russ of course and there is also something wrong with anyone who signs up for this and then acts surprised at what happens to them.
You should check out reckless Ben's coverage in this. Very interesting
To most people that iv seen that would do the manor. Said they wanted to push their limits.
As someone who didn't get any 'lights out' last night, very looking forward to this ep which hopefully will then lead to some shut eye! Thx as always guys, you rock! 😘
This just feels like they’re trying to get away with crimes. Assault is not “art”
Here's a real fear.... People are crazy. What if they hire someone to be an "actor" but in reality the actor is mentally unhinged or a serial killer who hasn't been caught yet and they turn this whole experience into the Real deal and end up really unaliveing or SA'ing someone? You just never know. Yea, no. I'll pass on this experience
Replace actor with public school teacher.
Replace serial killer with groomer.
Think about it
This is absolutely disgusting. I cannot believe this is even allowed. This crosses so many lines. I understand you have to give consent, but a lot of victims don't remember trauma until something triggers it. This is the most careless thing I have ever heard of.
Ultimately it's a CNC scene, be interesting to see the waiver and see how heavily negotiated it is.
I’ve worked in haunted houses but I can not go through them. I’m a puncher and I know it. I’d never do one of these extreme haunts. I’ve had enough genuine fear in my life.
23:43 I was able to go through the Blackout experience during either the 2016 or 2017 Halloween season. I found it to be a great experience and made it all the way through by myself. The "tour" that I did actually had the woman who made you pull the tampon from between her legs and stick it in your mouth. It was a gross thought, but I knew that they wouldn't actually be making a person suck an actual used bloody tampon (which did just taste like juice by the way).. And there was also slight waterboarding. As soon as i started they threw a mesh black bag over my head and then dumped water on my head. It definitely freaked me out at first because it does make it somewhat difficult to breathe, but once you calm yourself down it really wasn't that bad. There was also a lot of actor nudity and at one point you have to stick your hand in the toilet full of supposed vomit in order to grab a key to unlock a chain that a naked female actor had attached to her ankle. And you had to do this while the naked male actor that was vomiting in the toilet is chasing and screaming at you. It definitely got my heart racing. I have been hooked on extreme haunts ever since my Blackout experience. Since blackout shut down, I tried to find another extreme haunt. I did end up doing a McKamey Manor tour last year, but the experience was nothing like Blackout. McKamey Manor was more of an endurance test rather than a scary experience.
I’m so glad you dug into this. After finding out about McKamey years ago I found a site where a lady went to these “extreme haunts” & reviewed them all. It was just fascinating to me that people put themselves into this situation.
I’ve worked in haunted houses & knowing the thinking that goes into them is interesting to discuss, messing with all senses & trying to make others feel like they’re in a different environment. Blackout always got my attention for the psychological aspects they did.
Do you still have the link for the site you mentioned?
the kinda haunted attraction i want is a trail and you get to choose your own path based on fears which could lead you to a simulation of a chase by different slasher icons like leatherface, michael, ghostface, freddy and you can compete with your friends by choosing different paths to escape and survive the killer, it could also include escape room aspects
I'd be down for that!✋️
So excited y’all are covering this! Was hoping you would!!!
You guys should look into the history on the land that Frightmare sits on - quite the dark history if you ask me! I live around 5-10 mins west of Frightmare, and it’s an annual tradition for everyone around here to go. My sister worked there last year as a scare actor, and it was pretty awesome. The family that owns and operates the compound itself are awesome people!
ⁿ😊98f😊rrr
Amazing!!! I’ve been looking for something on Blackout but couldn’t find any good coverage. Thank you!! 🧡🖤🧡
I love that you’re advertising for Mr. Ballen - he is my other fav content creator (in addition to you and Kendall)
Totally. Nobody tells a good story like LOP and Mr. Ballen
What scares me the most is if the actors are forced into this. How do we know? Are they public with the names of the people in this, so that we can verify? Cause to me this feels like the perfect situation for someone messed up to get away with filming something really bad for some creepy people.
super stoked to know you support mr.ballen as well
I wish we could see all the forms/paperwork that was needed to apply to go through this place. I think they most likely used is to fine out your deepest darkest fears. And they would torture people based on their answers. But idk🤷🏻♀️ It would be awesome to see ALL of the paperwork needed beforehand.🤔🤔🤔🤔
Someone has posted the McKamey Manor consent form and it's getting a LOT of backlash. It literally has things like "you may be given sedatives or hallucinogens in pill or hyperdermic form", "you may be buried under 12 feet of dirt", "we are not responsible if you get a transmissible disease" and "you may have teeth removed if you are sent to 'The Dentist'". Pulling nails out, puncturing your hands with nails, smashing limbs with tools, they literally put "MK ultra" on the list. It's insane and nothing anyone could legally agree to in a contract. Actual violent crime happening. You can find it easily by googling McKamey Manor consent form.
apparently the waivers were HUGE and when it comes to the extreme stuff, it was made very clear what kind of things would be happening. it was entirely consented to
I'm with your partners... hell NO! That trailer really freaked me out! I'm an SA survivor and this would really leave me traumatized.
Hi guys I’m loving the lights out painting. Much better than the doll. Love your content and you 3 have a great chemistry for this kind of show ❤
The Mr Ballen shout out gives me life!!!!!!
Ha ha, Austin's best line this episode...are they gonna throw me in the oven " ? 😅😅
What happens when they get someone in there who thinks they are ok with all that and they knock someone out? No one knows how someone is going to react. That's reckless to put people in that situation.
As a kinky human, who is a sub, I can see how these horror experiences can be therapeutic.
Trauma is very somatic. So going through a similar experience but you are the one in control, you are choosing to do it, and have the power to stop it if you need? That can be very healing for someone that has had things done without their consent. You may seem powerless but you have all the power, because as soon as you safeword - they listen to you and stop.
It is kind of like an adult version of play or dramatic play therapy.
Children who are developing in a holistic way, consistently process their life, feelings, and experiences through play/pretend play. So it makes sense that adults would enjoy, seek, and have positive experiences while pretend playing through these scenarios.
I am not saying it equates to children (keep Frued outta here plz) but it makes sense from a psychology and human development perspective. Especially because I have lived experience as a kinky queer autistic adhd submissive who has trauma and has sexual trauma - who has experienced healing through kinky play with ethical partners.
How in the world is watching a woman being pretend r worded an "amazing and exhilarating" experience...?
Hey you guyssssss. As of this morning, McKamey Manor is permanently shut down in TN 🎉 I’m local to it and it’s all over our local pages.
I was excited to watch this until i realized the comments make it sound like this is a hit piece on them. Im still gonna try to watch but that bums me out. This isn't like mckamey manor. Its safe and structured. Just because some ppl think it's weird, doesnt mean it is. A lot of survivors of things like SA..like doing things like this where they can take their power back....
SO ready!!! finally someone going over the Blackout experience 😭
All I can imagine is an ACTUAL murderer/rapist/psycho finding out you put in an application for this place and sending you a fake acceptance letter and making you meet up with them. You would play right into their sick games thinking they were part of the "experience" until stuff goes too far then it's too late and it's game over, too late for you! Ahhh that scares me more than any of this!
I got hurt at buckskin joes in CO, it was pitch black and I ran through this hallway, it was made out of big steel bars. Apparently the long hallway got smaller and smaller the more you went through, I was running away and got knocked out by a steel bar
Thank you so much for this episode ! There’s no way in hell I would do something like this but I love to hear and learn about it ! So crazy, creepy and scary ! 😱😱😱
I was lost at sexual assault 👀 and that was within the first minute. I wonder if this is the one people are trying to get shut down because it's as if the torturers, are getting some kind of satisfaction out of it. Like it's more than just a scary attraction. You are literally being tortured by people who seem to enjoy it. Which doesn't sound great
Though there does seem to be some actual "acting" involved, unlike at McKamey, which is just people screaming at you and physically abusing you. I can easily see theatre students wanting to do this.
Oh so Excited To watch this
Sex should be love and pleasure! Not violence and horrific 😢
I'm ready for this episode already. Love y'all Lights Out😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Awesome video
I like spooky, jump scares, and the fun and weird. Haunted houses and monsters are spooky but I do not want to be in a situation where I truly fear for my life.
I saw the documentary you discuss here. I’d say, from what I saw, MM is more about domination & humiliation than dominance & fear in many ways.
I love how there haunta tell you to keep your hands to yourself but they can do whatever then want. If it is supposed to simulate real life, wouldn't you be fighting for your life?
Truly, but they need to drive this point home to keep their actors safe.
You guys should do a video on Miasma. Similar to Blackout, there isn't much info about Miasma.
Yessss I've been wanting more info on this one
I don't understand how this place is still in operation.... Absolutely insane.
If you’re talking about Blackout, it hasn’t been operational since 2019.
@@afreshloafofgarlicbread6307 the whole place... McKamey. But that's good to know at least.
Its coming back in some form though this October. @@GenXfrom75
Austin talking about what they might do during the home invasion made me cackle 😂
The people who did the exposing Mckamey documentary on Hulu are from my area and two of them are mutual friends. Pretty cool to see somebody so local end up with a documentary on Hulu.
Were can I watch it x
Austin 😂😂 “take me to the kitchen, throw me in the oven” 😂😂😂 and Josh’s laugh!! Love it!
Good thing I am going to get my eyes tested today. As with out my glasses on I thought Josh had a red bow on his head. 😮😢.
20:38 I went to a Zombie thing in London. It was the best one I’ve ever been to. It was 2.8 hours later. It was set across half an entire town in the city basically. The idea was you turn up and from the moment you turn up it’s begun. They set up a military command base and you were told you needed to bring water and fuel to earn your place…
25mins later BUT CZcams actually SENT ME A NOTIFICATION 💪🏼💪🏼
Yep, I’m from Texas.
And McKaney Mansion is all hype, no scares 😮
39:26 that popping sound was extremely realistic while listening through my car speakers!! Made me look over my shoulder for a second! 😅
Let's get it 👏 💪🏽
The sounds like an idea from psychopaths. Only Psychopaths would think this is a good idea
I’ve been waiting for this episode I’m so happy it’s finally out !!😁
I went to Blackout NYC in 2012 and was not disappointed. I wouldn't say it was fun and I didn't walk out of there without a scratch. I also knew what I was signing up for. I was "waterboarded". I might've cried a little. I might've thrown up a little after getting out of there. But, there was never a moment when I truly felt unsafe. The actors were very professional and they took consent seriously. If you want them to stop, they absolutely will stop without hesitation. That being said, I don't think I would do it again if given the chance.
I’ve been dying for someone to do an episode about the manor!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, as I got older the thoughts of "places" with "spirits" became more sacred to me. But this is psychologically interesting.. gona binge some lights out tonight🙌😎
It’s funny when strange stuff happens on lights out because I be watching The Sesh and Mile Higher, the other 2 podcasts Josh & or his wife Kendall do. & Lights Out is the only one that ever really has strange phenomena.
I went to the one in Chicago and it was amazing. Supposedly they are coming back this year 🤞
Hi, I love your content and watch every week! Sometime down the road, can you guys please expose the funeral home in Penrose where all the human remains were found? It’s probably a little soon now because we’re getting information on it daily. I used to live in Fremont county in canon city and it’s very corrupt there.
I am curious now 😅
Omfg what
Oh dang it’s already live on Apple Podcasts but I wanted to watch
I've been waiting for y'all to talk about Blackout! So excited for this. These extreme "haunts" are terrifying.
Ugh ! Ill be bck, need to watch this straight through and im not home from work yet😏😏🙄 I think i remember a few years back you talking about houe with your brother Joel, been awhile, Ill be back!😂🙌💯
Oh yeah the dude that started this haunt is unwell in the head.
32:40 see that’s my problem right there I don’t think I would physically or mentally be able to walk through something like that, and not try to defend myself, especially if I was actually scared
So excited for this! 🖤🔥
Random thought, but i would love to see you guys collab with Sam and Colby ..
just imagine the possible experience! All of you are pretty educated about those things , logical and good at debunking, while you also have a very open mind to stuff, and having a pretty good sceptic in the group too 😅
I feel like that would be a very useful investigation for all parties involved ❤
Aren't Sam & Colby's videos like super over-dramatized and cheesy (I don't want to say fake but 👀)? I used to watch them years ago and I stopped because they went from real urbex and paranormal type adventures to weirdly theatrical ghost hunting that reminded me of Ghost Adventures.
To each their own, everyone is different and some things trigger people while other people it doesn't. The way they described their attraction sounds really quite toxic, it just sounds to me like they're trying to scar/traumatize people rather than just scare the hell out of them. I feel they take things too far, but I'm scared easily. I also imagine these people know what they're getting into before they actually do it. I feel some of the topics are a bit too far, such as rape and what not, but I imagine those people triggered by rape would have the common sense not to participate in an attraction like this. Although I think that consenting particpants would be diligent to know what they're signing up for, I think that some of these tactics could scar people who think they can handle it but end up not being able to, which is where you can run into issues.
When he said “awaken something in me”- I was thinking the same thing.
I’ve never gone through Blackout however I have gone through The Soap Factory in Minneapolis where you’re alone, physical assault is allowed and they use real weapons as well. It was absolutely terrifying but extremely artful as well. I was locked in a meat locker for about 10 minutes and picked up and thrown against the wall. Also there was a point where there were real knives being dragged against people’s skin.
So do you get sued or go to jail if you fight back or hit someone? Because majority of people are going to want to defend themselves. I would get kicked out instantly😂
Think about the actors and how in the hell they’re able to do these insane acts it’s wild to me thinking in that aspect!
I don't understand why it gets the hate it does? These people literally signed up to get tortured. And then people are mad when they get tortured?? What?
I love everything that deals with the Paranormal, but Haunted Houses no way (childhood trauma) will never do them again, safe word or not.
I’ve gone through full contact haunts, but nothing like this. Not even close. Just enough to provide a scare by adding physical human touch to the weird textures, temperatures, visuals, temperature changes, added odors, noises, sensory overload basically. There were also outs.
Listening from the ukwales❤
I really can’t imagine that McKamey Manor or even Blackout would be legal in the UK under R v Brown which set a precedent that you can’t consent to extreme sadomasochism that includes things such as assault.
You know what. The left behind and the thief In the night film series scared me as well.
Bring it on. I will say, by the examples given, the more personalized experience (not the home one, I have a handicapped child) is what I would like better, especially the "interactive" parts. Makes it like a silent Hill type thing.
Even listening to people describe their experiences almost gave me a panic attack. Who even thinks of this crap. This is insanity.
