People are well aware of what they sign up for, and yes that entails being tortured even after a safe word is said. You also have to consider the fact that if they really did immediately cease all horror at the drop of a safe word, that would really take away from the anxiety and fear of the experience. It's knowing that you will be pushed to your absolute limits that draws people to the manor.

    I forget exactly where I heard this I believe it was on a podcast (maybe Deadmeat) but someone talked about how at Mckamey Manor they made a device rigged so that they would put a gas mask on a person and had them strapped to a chair. Then they would pull a switch that would cause a sledgehammer to swing down and stop just inches from the persons face, but then some fake blood would burst in the mask making the person think they just got their face bashed in for real. Really scary I would never want to experience that “haunt”

He no longer has the original land but just some land in Tennessee he does similar things with but refuses to let anyone win. There is no $20,000. A soldier tried to win it in Tennessee but the owner just outright refused and made him quit. I don’t think it’s much of a thing anymore.

    This makes me miss working in a haunted house. I was broken doll in the little girls room. All dressed up, and when kneeling down, I was the same height as all the other dolls, no one ever picked me out from among them. One shreiking laugh, and I'd get people running face first into walls.
    My favorite were Scooby door runs, where their feet were going before they hit the floor, the guy who high step ran out, while holding his own ass (turns out, he had deficated) and the group of highschool guys that fell over and crawled out screaming.
    When there wasn't anyone in my area, I'd joke with the scary clowns on the other side of the wall, and we'd try to creep eachother out. And there were various guides who would follow groups and scare them, but also covered rooms if someone needed a bathroom break, or bring water or snacks when needed. They were also in charge of taking short cuts to spread guests names to everyone.
    A good haunted house always has a solid network. Both for the best scares, and for everyones safety.

      And if the owner came through with a flash light, and said, I think it was low scare? Than it meant there was a kid, or someone else who wanted to see but not be frightened, and we weren't allowed to scare them. For me, that usually meant waving when the flash light shown on me

    Interesting thing about all that paperwork you sign at McKamey Manor, it doesn't mean squat legally. You cannot torture someone even if you have their permission. It's one of the issues people can run into the the BDSM community. The slave number you paid for and gave to the Dom/Domme means nothing to the police or courts. Neither does you saying you like nipple clamps and being beaten. It can still all land you in jail if you are the one inflicting the fun. So if someone chose to have him arrested they could.

    "There is no bigger rush than a good scare."
    As someone who has worked as scaractor during Halloween in a theme park myself I totally understand that statement. We were just working on Friday and Saturday evening, not much money, some actually lost money to work there, but they did it to vent, to relax and have fun. So much attention for the good costumes (we brought our own because what was offered was crap), even fans looking for us on our forum to praise us.
    It was just great on the street, right in the middle of the masses, stalking, hunting, shouting and threatening. Then the battles with the other scaractors that drew even more attention even tho they all happened near park closing where we had the space to move freely and wield our (foam) weapons without trouble. There still were people who ran into us despite us keeping to one side of the road, from behind, and told us we did wrong because we didn't see them. Yeah, I always have time to look behind me and listen through a helmet and over the clatter of my plate armor while being under attack of a decent fighter.
    And the parties after closing, so much fun, we were a tight knit community and quickly became friends.
    Also yes, we had plenty of chats about people we scared, the best jumps and screams from them, the stumbles and fumbles, the complaints about the unfriendly people who just yelled "PHOTO!" and waved their cameras, which some snatched up and took a photo of them before handing them back.

      That show was incredibly disappointing. I'm a big Mike Flanagan fan, but I didn't like Midnight Mass at all. I think people are confusing a bunch of poorly written monologues with good content.

    There's a HUGE difference between experiencing cerebral (thoughtful) fright and just simply having the crap utterly beat out of you.
    Mckamey Manor isn't good Halloween fun; it's allowing a seriously sick man to violate you (think Hostel IRL), capitalizing on the participants' naive assumption that he "can't do that" or that his intentions are the least bit concerned for your safety.
    $20,000 prize? Use that brain before they pummel it! When you have signed away any boundaries, there is NO way you will win. He can literally hurt you to the point of death before the time limit is reached.
    I can't believe they convict Dr. Kevorkian for giving dying people a dignified, fully elective death, but they allow this man to continue these assaults without consequence.

    In all seriousness, McKamy Manor is not an extreme haunt. McKamy himself does not claim the haunted house title and the haunt community (which I work in) also does not claim them as a haunt. They are an extreme survival experience that allows people to legally beat people until they break. He also always has a reason as to not give someone the money. He just keeps them going till they break or makes an excuse if someone supposedly did. And by mentioning in the video, they get publicity they do not need.

      Thankfully anyone curious to look into it now will find that its pretty much defunct. Russ hasnt made any post on his social media or CZcams channel in five years at this point.
      TN law also forced Russ to change how the manor is. Its no longer an "extreme survival experience". Its just people doing physical exercises in Russ's yard while he films them, and all the controversies and disdain from the community of Summertown TN has pretty much forced Russ to abandon it.
      I dont know if its still operating now, but if it is, its not getting any attention or patrons. Funny enough every Halloween, the local news in TN always warn people about McKamey Manor and bring up Russ's controversial past, thus pushing it further into obscurity
      Safe to say at this point, nobody should be worried about McKamey Manor.

    I worked at my local haunt for one night and then had to quit. It was DEFINITELY a sketchy operation. I had sent in an audition form earlier the dame day, and then got asked to come in. When I got there, they were supposed to do a Covid screening and an interview and stuff (as per their website, they screened all actors nightly) but all they did was ask me my name, and then tell me I would be playing a zombie in the maze. Within the first hour another actor had a seizure because of the strobes in the maze. We were also in medical masks underneath two inch thick latex masks. They had the fog machines on WAAAY too high to the point where a couple guests had to take their inhalers and the actors eyes and lungs were burning. THEN, after 8 hours of that, they "paid" us in poker chips. If we worked the equivalent of 200+ hours by the end of the season, we could turn them in in exchange for a hoodie.

They drown them, choke them, force feed them, drug them, and most of that happens before the waiver. I wouldn’t be bothered but the workers aren’t required to know CPR or first aid. It’s a matter of time before there’s an on-site death and thus the death of survival horror houses that do take the time to be careful.

    McKamey Manor isn't a consensual extreme haunt. There are reports by people who went through with it that safe words were not honored and that people who do end up quiting, leave with lasting physical and psychological injuries, to add insult to injury, Russ McKamey makes the participants film an after haunt interview to discredit any allegations of assault and retraction of consent. So if anything the extreme haunt of this movie is just a dramatization of actual McKamey Manor events.

      He shut it down in California and moved due to not paying taxes. He moved to Tennessee, but once word got around, TN law forced him to change the "haunt". People who have gone there since have said its just you, Russ, and his camera, and all he does is film you as you do very rigorous exercises in his yard. Every year around October, the news stations here in TN talk about the Manor and Russ's controversial past, pretty much warning people to stay away. Other people have said that Russ will end the tour even if you're doing perfectly fine. One guy went through it and made it a few hours doing exercises before Russ stopped it. Ever since then no one believes that the $20k reward exists.
      He hasnt made any major posts on his social media or uploaded to his CZcams in over five years. I dont know if its still operating, but all the controversy has pretty much sunk it dead in the water. Nobody visits it and those that do dont even bother to mention it

    I used to caretake at a ranch not so far away from the haunted house where the killers start tracking the protagonists in Caddo Mills/Royse City. It would have cars around it year round and there'd be promo flyers everywhere and then as Halloween approached they'd thin out and SOMETIMES it would open, but usually it wasn't. That would continue until after the first weekend of November, and right after that it would fill up with cars coming and going and promo materials would start appearing locally again. We joked that we had the only haunted house that closes up on Halloween and theorized that it was actually a front for meth operations, but that's a rumor. It was pretty erratic. It's gone now and I think the lot is up for sale, minus the building.

      @Rita 25 y.o - check my vidéó oh yeah definitely. Have you watched some of the interviews of people who went? Like he doesn’t stop when safe words are given and I’m sorry some of the stuff like stepping on glass isn’t scary it’s torture!

    Just some classics from the 90s that would be cool to cover. Identity, Cube and The People Under the Stairs. Wes Craven is always cool to revisit.

    5:00 This is not a coffin. This is a casket. There are differences. A coffin is a wooden box, while a casket can be a wooden box with a finish and cloth inside, as well as caskets can be metal.

      coffins usually have six sides, the head, two sides that jut down to the left and right, the two long ends and the foot, while caskets usually have four sides, the head, two sides and the foot.
