Thousands sign petition to shut down controversial haunted house: A torture chamber under disguise

A haunted house that lasts 10 hours and requires its visitors to fill out a 40-page waver is now the subject of a petition calling it a "torture chamber" that needs to be shut down.

McKamey Manor, which stretches from Summertown, Tenn., to Huntsville, Ala., has drawn national interest for years due to its extreme conditions: Attendees can reportedly be subjected to having their fingernails pulled off or even getting a tattoo, according to one volunteer employee.

The circumstances inside are reportedly so intense that owner Russ McKamey has promised a $20,000 reward for anyone who completes the tour a feat he says no one has ever accomplished.

"Not your typical 'Boo' Haunted House. You've been warned!" the house's website states.

But now McKamey Manor's radical reputation is being challenged. A Change.org petition which calls on both the Tennesee and Alabama state senates to permanently close the attraction has earned more than 63,000 signatures since launching five days ago.

The petition, titled "Shut down McKamey Manor," claims the haunted house is actually a "torture chamber under disguise" that "uses loopholes to get out of being arrested."

"They do screenings to find the weakest, most easily manipulated people to do the 'haunt'... McKamey Manor is a shame to all haunted houses, and needs to be shut down," the petition reads.

Frankie Towery, who started the Change.org page, alleges that the attraction often includes waterboarding and visitors being forced to eat things, adding that attendees have even reportedly been injected with drugs in order to cause hallucinations.

"It's literally just a kidnapping and torture house," the petition's description also says. "Some people have had to seek professional psychiatric help and medical care for extensive injuries. I propose that all locations where this is happening be shut down immediately."

Why can't the liberal generation just let people get their fingernails ripped off in peace? Happy Halloween!

That place is run by sociopaths trying to hide behind "waivers" so they can "legally" get their rocks off torturing people.

Looking at pics of this place on google, I dont understand how its legal even with the waiver. In one pic a girl is passed out cold in what appears to be vomit or shit, and another is someone with a power drill in a girls mouth.

No way this place lasts much longer. Cops at their newest location have said they dont give a damn about the waiver. Bad all around.

20K baby. Plus, I take it that people can't just walk in off the street. That's what the article implies. They supposedly screen interested people and only let in the weak willed idiots.

People wanting to be subjected to this shit is weird. Also the guy isn't making any money off of this which is also weird. People pay in dog food.

I dont get how any of this is a thing. I personally dont care what weird torture shit people are into but the whole thing is creepy as fuck to me.

Nobody has ever won the 20 K.

This whole thing is clearly an excuse to abuse women in a so called legal setting.

Barely any dudes in the pics floating around, its all 50 girls being shoved into freezers and shit. Shocked that this has been going for so long now.

I think it should be shut down but not because of the base concept. If thrill seekers want to do this, let them

Reason it should be shut down is the prize money is a scam. The guy wont let people win. One marine ranger or something actually got really far, and wanted to keep going, but the owner said he had to quit for his own medical safety, using bs reasons to disqualify him. That's what mostly pisses me off.

Yeah, it's rigged so people can't win. If people could just walk in and push through then someone would have won by now. If I was homeless then I'd do it. Cause, why the fuck not, right? If anyone could just walk in then he'd be paying off a bunch of homeless dudes right now.

Yeah, I read stuff like this, too. Recently I just started reading more about this place - and it's all a mix of "it's a scam," "it's not actually scary, just uncomfortable because they basically drown you in dirty water," women complaining about getting their heads shaved, and wannabe tough-Darryl-drowned-rat looking obese Rob Zombie fan looking men trying to say they're "tougher" than him or used to work for him and he's a wuss.

So some sadistic people used a haunted house as a cover to torture people and "cancel culture" is to blame when it's shut down?

Yeah I know the TC isn't serous.

Hope the people behind it are punished.

I mean, it really is far more "torture chamber" than "haunted house".

Just because someone might sign up for something doesn't mean we need to allow sociopaths to turn it into a business. This is also my opinion on Big Tobacco.

I really wonder how much about this place is true and how much is fiction. Like I dont want to believe that they're pulling peoples nails out but I do think they do fucked up shit like knocking teeth out and water boarding. I've been hearing about them for the past 7 years at least and every year it gets worse and worse lol

Theres a clip of two dudes going through that get shit kicked, chained up, forced fed rotten meat till they puke, then while still chained up and puking some guy keeps slapping the one dude.

and another one of some dude being basically water boarded but hes being dunked in icewater and he apparently got hypothermia

its specifically set up so no one can win the 20k ever too.

Is that the one the guy on Dark Tourism visited?

He spent like four hours filling out waiver paperwork and lasted all of like five minutes rofl.

That one the only payment the guy accepts is dog food for his dogs.

he plays it off as charitable donations for greyhounds but the charities website hasnt been updated in over ten years.

Also so you can watch him on his own YouTube channel and just see what a totally insufferable sociopathic piece of shit he is.

The dumbest thing about the "challenge" is that it's not really a challenge of whether you have the mental fortitude the horror or anything like that. Like it's within their "rights" to just beat the shit out of you with a 2x4 for hours until you give up or they deem that you're "medically unfit" to continue.

Exactly.

Like you go through 7 hours of hell and youre nearly done and then they decide k were tying you in a chair and ripping out your fingernails thats not horror or psychological or fun or impressive or anything but plain sadism.
