Hello there
@@obiwankenobi6143 General Kenobi!
Hello.
YES I’ve been hoping you would cover this, I love your storytelling
@@obiwankenobi6143 Jedi!
I LOVE the “no foul language” policy. Just imagine you’re getting the crap beat out of you, suffocated, yelled at, then you just say “fuck” and they all go “WHOA WHOA WHOA you went too far, you’re outta here buddy.”
They've done it before XD yet they can have some lady almost drown and be fine with if
so there is some sort of safe word after all!
th-cam.com/video/ahkhyU8K3Dw/w-d-xo.html
I can only imagine that in-between the screams of agony and maniacal laughs you'll hear someone go "Oh dear" and "Get me out o the frickin place"
Wholesome content only.
(Also see dog at 50:46 )
Participant: *uses safe word*
McKamey: let’s torture him some more
Participant: darn
McKamey: Get him out of here!
lol, this
Gets damn near water boarded: “Gee Wilikers!”
Russ: *horrified gasps*
@@galactic.cl0ud im imagining some squeaky voiced 13 year old getting fucking DESTROYED in a haunted house and then he screams "oh my gosh!" then everyone starts screaming and sprinting away
This is a Christian house of torture, heathens are not welcome
@@frid7434 ninja what?????
The whole place is just fake. Reckless Ben just finished a whole series debunking the Manor. The owner has a torture kink and is flat broke. No one can get the $20,000 because it doesn't exist. He backs out if the contestant doesn't.
Yes thank you they need to stop promoting this clown hes a fraud
I was looking for at least one comment about Ben's series!
boost this comment, guys
Exactly. Just watched those videos. Those guys did everything they could to get them to ACTUALLY put them through the "Extreme Haunted House" didn't happen.
It was ridiculous.
It's a total scam. And the guy doesn't even make money off his scam, he just makes dog food....

Yes Mr McKamey, I'm deathly afraid of puppies, kittens, cold beer, and barely clothed beautiful women!! Those are my biggest bugaboos.
amen 🙏
Yes i. Terrified of being left alone in a dark room and im horribly afraid of head phones and greenday.
@@carnivorouspikachu6604 mr mckamey my sleep paralysis demon is billie joe armstrong please don’t make me meet him in person
Spare me Mr McKamey I came here just for the experience I'm actually terrified of even the idea of finishing the $20,000 challenge
OMG same. I'm also terrified of good healthcare and tiramisu
I love the wendigoon trope where instead of mystifying the bad person he just calls them a dumb loser.
As we all should do tbh.
it's becoming more and more common in true crime circles to just remind the audience that serial killers/murderers/famous criminals are almost always just big, dumb morons who think they're better than everybody else.
fr
thats why he's the best. no fluff no fanfare, just unabashedly calls them what they are.
Sometimes just simply calling someone a loser hits em hard
McKamey really just said "The real $20,000 dollars is the friends we made along the way" near the end
this was so funny to me
this is the funniest comment I’ve seen so far omg
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LMFAO
OMG NO, NOT THAT SAYING! 🤣
That clip where the employee is listing out the things he’s done and what a horrible person he is, and other employees agreed and claimed that he blackmailed them. Yet Russ is the only one that said “that’s not true” TELLS A LOT.
I’m afraid I don’t have the link of the video right this second, but the documentary that footage is taken from is very eye-opening. Watching the footage taken from the haunt is much much worse than McKamey’s own videos. There’s no gloss or horror style editing, and it’s extremely disturbing. It really shows that Russ isn’t a showman or someone trying push the extremes of a haunted house for the sake of that particular art. I’m convinced he’s a psychopath.
@@GrindHouseBlues83what's the name of the doc?
@@txtbot9000 I’ve been trying to find it since I made that comment. I’m afraid I still haven’t found it, and my first viewing of it was a while ago, so I don’t recall the title. It’s been on and off TH-cam for a bit now - partly due to legitimate copyright issues, partly due to Russ’ machinations, if my memory is correct.
If I happen to find it, I’ll post the title here.
The fact that she’s being “interviewed” and asked questions about him while he’s being allowed to stand right there is super weird
yeah that made me so uncomfortable. i know the girl in the clip, we worked at a halloween store together last year, and my stomach dropped hearing her talk about that
If you guys don't know who Reckless Ben is, he's done investigative journalism into McKamey Manor and it's WHACK. McKamey Manor actually is suing him, so go support Ben lol
That's awesome I hope he brings him down. Russ is evil. Probably a serial killer undercover.
I'm sorry, THEY'RE suing HIM? No no, HE should suing THEM. This cannot be allowed...you should not be allowed in anyway, I don't care what a paper says, you should not be allowed to assault a person. You might as well just say "you're allowed to murder me"
@@avery_is_here9054 Oh dw, Ben's very excited to dismantle them.
He has the hard drive and I need to know what's gonna come of that
oh hey there lmao
as a wheelchair user, i for one am thrilled to know mckamey manor is accessible.
Yes, everyone is tortured equally, without discrimination. Much wholesome.
Jokes aside though, I wonder if they ever had a wheelchair user go through the haunt.
@@biorose1210 i wonder that myself.
Im guessing theyre going to make you walk as a torture.
@@MonBerry considering i would break my legs it would be effective
I think the reason people tap out "after 8 minutes" is because they expect some grand scary haunted house and instead just get a demented old man beating them up and start to realize this is gonna be just this dude getting his rocks off for 10 hours
"alright, 5 minutes of that guy jerking off in the corner whole I get brutalized was ok but 8 minutes is a bit too much" then they all just walk out "alright man, we tried but that's all we got"
They dont expect it at all. The wait list is over a year long with a 40+ page waiver. You also need to show proof via a psych evaluation that you are mentally competent to go through it.
@@casualpeen we know. we watched the video too
@@syraxiis8692 I'm responding to the original comment.
@@casualpeen you dont know how many people would just skip it all, cause most people would just skip it all
I went once, and almost died. I was having an allergic reaction to something they put on my face and I was telling them to let me go as I wheezed and scratching at my throat because my throat was swelling, but they just pulled me back by my hair and telling me I had to keep going, so I punched him and got hit back. They dragged my unconscious ass outside. Woke up a few hours later in the hospital, because anaphylaxis.
Well then they broke Tennessee Law by not yielding to the safe word that they specified in the fake waiver. Just another reason why Russ won’t let you have access to the recording of your own torturing.
Things like this make me incredibly angry and I believe you should take legal action. They could've killed you and he probably wouldn't have even gave a shit. Dude was having a heart attack and he called it, "good stuff". Dudes a psycho.
What the fuck? I love a good haunting every now and then but that’s too far. U gotta have a safe word, even the some of the sickest fucks I’ve met in my life would have tapped out if that happened to them
Cap. You could’ve sued. Where’s the report? Proof you had an ambulance called.
Don’t you have to sign a waiver that you understand that if you participate in this you could DIE or be maimed? Why did you do this in the first place? I know, curious, or just wanting to prove you could do it? Stay wise my friend and next time, if you want to torture yourself, try running a marathon. No shade at all.
i work at fear farm as a scare actor (it’s pretty standard experience with about 4 haunted houses and then a corn maze) and we aren’t permitted to touch anyone and trust me if you’re a talented scare actor you can give anyone a good scary adrenaline rush without even having to touch let alone torture them
yeah no he just sucks at scaring people so he just tortures them
@@rushbiskitIts not that he sucks at scaring, its that he isn't interested in scaring he just wants to torture. He has a torture kink so its torture porn to him. He gets off to videos of this stuff.
bro im scared of mazes, being chased while being lost would suck man.
I think, I'm not entirely sure since it happened long ago, that I've been one of these places that you work at and yeah, you certainly don't need to touch or torture people in order to really scare them. All you basically need to do is dress up as something scary and chase them around with a hatchet or something.
This just makes me feel bad for the last time I went to a haunt. I have anxiety and other icky little mental illnesses, and so by like halfway through, I ended up covering my ears and just saying "hello :)" to all of them. At one point I was in a hospital theme area and a girl popped out of a window and I'm like "ong you have braces me too" I'm literally dumb
Mckamey: what are your biggest fears?
Me: well lit rooms, puppies, filet mignon, loaded baked potatoes and strippers.
im absolutely mortified of the idea of manners, a back massage, and chicken tacos
I actually have a lot of trauma built up around friendly people, spa days, live music and bubble tea
i have ptsd because of money, zandeya, and a new controller
I feel like he'd find a way to twist all that against you
I have a crippling fear of not being beaten.
Mckamey waiver: You are in no real danger and everything is just a fun game.
Also Mckamey waiver: Participant understands that they may be forced to skydive without a parachute, and it is their responsibility to make it to the ground safely, and if the participant fails to do so MM cannot be held responsible.
Cannot be held libel*
Just do the old gta trick and hope you get it first try
@@SirSaladAss at least you tried
I haven’t watched the full video, but there are numerous reports of the safe word not being respected AT ALL and basically being tortured and permanently disfigured for hours and hours, totally non-consensually
@@Happyfaceshock well then that sounds very... not nice...
I’m putting money on this being a fetish thing for Russ. I also think one of the reasons he just arbitrarily throws people out is because he decides they’re finished when he has “finished” and the appeal is no longer there for him. Yeah it’s also because there was never a secondary location or $20k, but that’s also not the point. He does this because he gets off on it and anyone getting tricked into participating is actually getting involved in his kink fantasy.
The thing about his doing his own kids go too a kid version of torture Boot Camp got even grosser
@@heyhorinshiI had to reread this a few times after seeing 'doing his own kids', to realise you meant "doing 'Kids Go Too'", like a spinoff project.
@@jackpijjin4088same 😂
I think it’s worse he was recording it and live showing it. I think that was the money maker. human torture is sick and extremely profitable.
I like how it goes from "oh it's just a really scary haunted house it can't actually hurt you" to "it's literally torture" back to "it's just scare tactics"
I feel like it’s way more impressive for a haunted house to convince a participant that they’re in extreme danger rather than straight up putting them in danger and torturing them.
haunted houses make you feel fear with fake things, and give you the illusion of extreme danger. extreme haunted houses still give you a somewhat illusion of extreme danger, and there is danger. MM takes away any illusion and puts you in *extreme* danger. i mean- there are just so so many layers to this place. like- an insane amount of layers. but i do not consider this a haunted house. this is a torture chamber.
Yes. 100%
@@isabellafortune1705 lol you basically just reworded the original comment 😆
@@rosemadder5547
oh lol ig i didn’t notice
Exactly
McKamey: NO ONE will EVER get through this show, EVER
**a marine who is trained to mentally and physically withstand things MUCH worse than the abuse in MM successfully nears the end of the show**
McKamey: oh god no he’s a little bit chilly he must be suffering from hypothermia !
yea i think most marines or other millitary/intelligence members who have been trained to resist torture would get through this fairy well
Yeah, for a marine, special ops member, etc that's totally doable. That marine dude should have sued him.
Accurate.
Russ didn't account for a marine to show up. Lmao
@@12gauge_shawtyy i hope not for the Fairies sake
yeah especially all the ones that never actually saw combat lol
I just have to mention-- mythbusters did the "buried alive" test where they tried to escape from under 6 feet (2 meters) of dirt. It's physically impossible. There's so much pressure on every square inch of your body once you get out of the casket's airpocket that you literally cannot pull yourself out. They could barely do it in 3 feet, let alone 12.
I was just thinking this!
How did they do that? Did they wear masks?
@@MBiz. They started in two feet using a human with a breathing machine, I think it was Kari, and she had a panic attack so they moved to using machines. They used a punching dummy for the 6 feet, stronger than a human, and it couldn't do anything. There's more I'm probably forgetting, you can find the video on TH-cam im sure. It's called the buried alive episode I think
@@whatdaisysays6825 oh ok. Thank you
"this is just a game" John Kramer explaining his practices to police
McKamey may say his manor is his lifeblood, but from looking at his website, you can tell that graphic design is his passion
Navigating that website is a kind of torture, he's very committed to his work.
god it really is terrible
@@ripperbasil1229 Alllllllrighty guess I'm not going to go find it then.
@our hero I disliked your video, don't do that it's cringe
@@criscojesus4378 dislikes still help videos and thats probably a bot
I appreciate the “It’s your responsibility to breathe underwater”
Everyone needs a guy who always holds you accountable for your own life
If I drown because they tied me up and threw me in a river thats my own fault fr. I should've just swam
@@MadWatcherbro left his totem of undying at home 💀
@@MadWatcherBecome aquaman lol
Let me go borrow gills from my friend
I went to a haunted house in Virginia with my dad once, and the guy chasing us yelled “LEAVING SO SOON, THATS PRETTY RUDE” and that tapped into my primal fear of being a bad guest
LMFAO??
What next, did they yell at you for not taking your shoes off in the mudroom?
I quickly realized that Wendigoon was gonna make the “oh this is where I draw the line” every time he found a mundane line such as the seatbelt thing in the waiver…
But god damn, it was hilarious every single time.
road safety…that’s the real killer
Me, ice cold and sopping wet in sweat and blood, shivering, being hastily thrown into a van with my hands and feet bound:
Russ: hey, click it or ticket
I had absolutely no desire to go to McKamey Manor while seeing the footage and listening to the description of the waiver, but after learning that McKamey Manor is handicap accessible and is free of foul language, I'm ready to sign up!
fr
Thank gosh there’s no cursing in that fine establishment! I should bring my kids!
This torture chamber is surprisingly wholesome. To quote Monty Python: “Biggles! Bring out… the COMFY CHAIR!”
@@HazardousClimI don't think getting beat half to death is "wholesome".
@@LordScrunglI don’t think you got the joke
wendigoon saying "dont worry guys im not going to read the whole thing" and then sitting down for 20 minutes to read the entire thing is EXACTLY why i watch this channel
He turned a joke into probably the most important part of the video
@@Daveaintreal skill
Same
It’s a sales tactic to get you to actually listen to it 😂 “don’t worry I’m not in sales” then proceeds to pitch them or build rapport 😂
He was talking about how he wasn’t gonna do it I was sitting there “don’t you lie to me. Ik you are”
As a long time haunted house actor and general lover of Halloween attractions, I can say full well, most haunters outright hate this place and the bad reputation it gives to the craft, and based on what is broken down here, the sour feelings are not unfounded. That said, the story at the end made me super happy to hear. My current haunt is a home grown "Barn Haunt" a local family has run for a decade that has grown to a proper small buisness as a pop up parking lot haunt and i am so hapoy to be part of their own growth
I’d argue that’s it’s not even horror oriented, it’s torture oriented like nothing in this is about horror, it’s all about pain and abuse. Again, idfk much about the industry, I’m a nobody from California but still
Is it weird that one of my favorite parts of this whole video was Wendigoon's little anecdotal hometown haunted house story at the end? It was so funny and wholesome all at the same time! :D
Its not weird at all! Its the lighthearted, wholesome, humorous moment that comes after hearing alot of dark or sinister content, so it feels more meaningful because it uplifts us after hearing such sad/depressing/disturbing things!
It reminded me why I love his channel, he’s just a kind person
If McKamey hadn’t created this haunted house, I’m almost certain he’d be a serial killer
For sure
The Manor will be a major chapter in his episode of "Snapped" on Oxygen channel....
(How weird is it that the network which was founded by *_OPRAH_* & made "for women, by women," after being sold off, under current network owners, has become a true-crime broadcast network?!?! The content of which is largely that of real attacks on and murders of women..)
I'm honestly convinced he is
Or is aspiring to be one who does it legally.
Should have finished the Waiver bit before opening my mouth.
I have said the the same thing. He's a serial killer at heart and found a way of fulfilling his fantasy of torturing people and once that loses its thrill for him he would cross that line and kill someone. Then TRY to have that joke of a waiver protect him and hold up in court, or he would flat out just start going out and randomly killing people
McKamey: "The first person to make gourmet nightmares."
This makes me think that McKamey lost. His "attraction" is no longer about scaring people, it's about pain and endurance. I can be scared shitless without anyone ever touching me, while I sit in a comfortable house - this is the art of horror. His haunted house lacks it, it's just making people suffer physically. Anyone can do that.
This is how I feel about gore movies too. Feeling fear and being disgusted are not the same.
@@Vampress09 That's a fair stance. I don't get scared by movies personally (or really any media, real life is way scarier), so I find a sort of joyful catharsis in splatter flicks. Still not that fun little tinge of fear, but at least giddiness over cheesy practical effects and over the top kills. But I get how some could see them as a cheap and tasteless alternative to something more...psychologically stimulating..
@@Vampress09 I feel like gore itself isn't inherently horror, it can be used in horror media, where the goal is usually to disturb someone or establish whatever is, you know, ripping people apart as a threat and something to be scared of. But some "horror" media that involves gore, I actually don't really consider horror - Final Destination doesn't feel like horror to me, it feels almost like what I'd call an action movie, depsite being labelled as a horror.
Anyway, using it on its own is usually really cheap, and doesn't require much talent. It's like how there was that effective jumpscare in Jaws, with the corpse, that also serves to establish the shark as a serious threat, but jumpscares in many other horror movies are just a loud noise and something that pops out of nowhere. Horror, to me, is like putting all these pieces together in a puzzle that will thoroughly creep out or disturb the audience, not throwing in various individual elements without knowing what you're doing.
Small horror rant, don't mind me...
@@cranberryrosebud I agree! (Fictional) Gore by itself isn't scary, what makes it scary is a story behind it, the context, the atmosphere, and the importance it has in emphasizing an element of the story. (Fictional) Gore content isn't bad though, it is cool in its own way, but a lot of producers forget just throwing guts out there isn't scary
@@Vampress09 Exactly atmosphere will always get me over gore.
I've survived cancer, and almost loosing my arm to it; plus I used to be a medical worker so I just go into work mode.
Give me a Guirellmo del Toro vibe to a scene and lightly graze my arm and whisper in my ear I'll be much more afraid.
I loved the part where wendigoon was like "I'm not gonna sit here and go through fourty pages of a waver" and then immediately in the next part starts reading the waver 🤣🤣 this is why I come back to watch this man's videos
If you havent heard of Reckless ben, look him up. Him AND his friend went there seperately...& it was basically, ONLY a bootcamp, in his front yard. As soon as one of the guyys FINALLY DID get to the "haunted house" portion, Russ's camera battery went dead so, the guy want allowed to continue! Not even after he switched out the batteries.
I firmly believe he is actually crazy and just uses this “tour” to abuse and torture people, riding the legal line as THINLY as possible.
Oh definitely. He has H.H. Holmes vibes
Yeah this guy's one bad day away from making a snuff film, especially now that he's alone. Hopefully he's stopped.
From what I've heard in this video, this guy comes across as somewhat of a sadist. It seems like this guy has kind of a pain and humiliation deal going on.
Russ is probably a sadist, but he's not "crazy".
Probably the same kind of guy as the fat doctor restaurant owner
I love how one of the waiver requirements was that the participant agrees they aren’t an undercover agent. I just think of him getting busted by an undercover cop and as he’s being carted away, he’s just shouting out: “But you signed the waiver!”
LMAO I thought the same like he really thought a waiver was gonna stop anything?
‘You’re not a cop are ya? Ya gotta tell me if you’re a cop’
Like a 14 year old just getting into smoking weed telling everyone it’s entrapment if you ask a cop if they’re a cop and they say no. Lmao
@pyropulse this has nothing to do with my comment. There’s nothing against the law saying a cop has to confirm they’re a cop. And you’re lucky because they’ll search your car regardless most times. All they gotta do is get a dog and have it fake alert and they have probable cause. Been through it many times. You seem young. Stop thinking you know everything please
@pyropulse your entire comment just sounds like a rambling 10 year old.
$20,000 is not even close enough to pay for the medical bills cause there ain't no way insurance is gonna pay for something you signed up for.
I absolutely loved the story about the home haunt at the end. That’s the kind of good spoopy fun haunting is truly all about. I know a lot of haunt actors, and they’re really a bunch of passionate theater nerds who pour a lot of their own time and energy into creating a fun and scary experience.
I've been through a lot of haunts, escape rooms, survival horror attractions, and others. However, that manor has been the only place that my crew collectively blacklisted. One of my friends went for it, and he told us that it was not worth it. Its genuinely painful, my friend got multiple bruises and a broken nose. Calling it a haunted house is like calling a Jurassic park a petting zoo
It's a torture house if anything
@@el3ctroshock yeah exactly it's like hours and hours worth of psychological torture! That's the part that's the worst is the fact that it doesn't let up for hours. That sounds exhausting just thinking about it. I wouldn't want to go through a normal haunted house that took hours to get through! Frankly I believe it's the length of the house versus what actually happens there. If he were to cut it down to 1 hour or 2 hours there would be a lot of people who would pass it. And if it was just your average run of the mill haunted house but it took like 12 hours to get through most people wouldn't pass it.
I wonder if anyone has actually "snapped" while in there and fully lashed out at people for hurting/torturing them too far. Like imagine if someone went absolutely crazy and started swinging at the people trying to haunt them
@@beebeebs2743 i don't think so, in the waiver it says you can't fight with the actors so probably no one have done it
@@yazminlares6000 a waiver wouldn't mean shit if someone snapped... that was the point of my comment. I'd imagine that it would probably be so bad for some people that they would just lose it in there
You know he’s a certified sadist when you realize he doesn’t charge any money for anything
Yeah because he makes all his money from his TH-cam videos.
Some folks are in it for the money, some are in it for blood
@@LackaJudgment Some men just want to watch the world burn.
@@xotennisxgirlox believe it or not he’s not making much revenue from youtube… I’ve followed this topic pretty closely for a few years. A majority of his views were 4 years ago, he’s demonetized as well (last I saw). Russ currently works as a Walmart employee stocking shelves and lives in a small trailer in Tennessee. Believe me when I say dude is not holding onto much cash flow lmao
Thats what I said. If he's not making money off of the infamy of the experience, then that begs the question, "what's the motivation for doing it?" And to me, it's pretty obvious that he LIKES doing it
This man talks about anything and I find myself watching. He's a great speaker. There aren't any flashy things or silly pictures, just him telling the info. I appreciate this account lol
As someone whose favorite animals are tarantulas... I'm not a fan of them being used as 'props'. And eating live insects. I know most people see them as like, inanimate trash, but they're still living creatures. :/
I like jumping spiders. Tarantulas are... okay. They are cool, but I'm scared of bugs.
Especially big ones.
But I know they are living, if I have to kill a bug I usually try to get it over with, I won't torture them or hit them repeatedly if it's dead.
Though, I am kind of harsh on roaches and mosquitos (female, the bloodsucking ones)
Roaches remind me of a bad time in my life and scare me, mosquitos I'm allergic to.
I do see (some) bugs as living creatures so it unfortunate they are living and used as props.
(I know all bugs are living, but some bother me so much I'd rather them just die.)
Sorry I wrote a lot, I just wrote what was on my mind and what was relevant.
I'd like to know, why is your favorite creature the tarantula?
@@MBiz. Tarantulas are my favorite animals for a few reasons. For one, they are extremely harmless. Like, the only confirmed deaths from tarantula bites are due to other health complications the person had where the tarantula bite effected them much worse than usual. New Worlds (Tarantulas in the americas) in particular have basically no venom, the bite itself hurts more than the venom injected into you. Old Worlds (tarantulas from everywhere else) have more potent venom but it's not going to kill you or anything.
There's also a ton of different species with their own traits and behaviors and appearances. My favorite is probably the G. Pulchra. It's a pretty big and harmless species that is jet black and looks adorable. The hairs on its abdomen are the most annoying part, since if it feels threatened it will rub them off with its hind legs to disperse in the air. And have you ever breathed in a dog or cat hair? Imagine that, but worse. It's their main defense mechanism.
I also seriously love the M. Balfouri. It's the only species that thrives in a community. Tarantulas are a pretty solitary species but the M. Balfouri will gladly share its space with others of the same eggsac as long as they're raised together and never separated. And the M. Balfouri webs... a lot... so their enclosures look really damn cool.
Tarantulas also have nice lifespans. Males of any given species only live like 3-5 years but females live upwards of 12+. Which I personally think is a nice lifespan for a pet, unlike something like a tortoise that is still going to be around when your kid's kids have kids.
It's also just one of the few animals kept in captivity that does genuinely thrive there vs in the wild. Tarantulas lay several hundred eggs in their eggsacs and... there's a reason they're not everywhere. A small puddle drowns them, a light rainfall drowns them, falling a foot breaks their abdomens, birds eat them, etcetera. Even in captivity a lot of species struggle to make it to adulthood cause they're just so damn fragile, but way more thrive in captivity than in the wild.
Tarantulas are almost blind, and even the burrowers that don't lay down much lweb still put strands all around their hideout and the outside of their hideout to use as trip-wires so they know when food walks by for them to pounce on. And they literally will only EVER leave their space if they're chased away from it or if it's a mature male on the prowl for a female. So they're also one of the only pets where being in a 20 gallon terrarium allows them to live the exact same life they would've in the open wild. (well, they live better, cause like, no predators.)
Sorry for how long this became. I could honestly ramble on for hours about tarantulas.
@@Alino- Very interesting. Thank you for the fun facts.
I didn't know they thrived in confinement.
McKamey could’ve had something really good here, had he actually focussed on nuance instead of one-upping himself. The idea of a personalized haunted house that is customized to exploit your personal fears is incredibly interesting, if only it were performed in a classic haunted house format rather than a glorified torture chamber.
Problem is he's a sadist that does this for personal reasons, especially after Carol left him and he had even MORE brain surgeries.
Not that I would ever do this, but nobody is going to go through all this effort for a pretty normal haunted house experience.
@@FrenkieWest32 there are nearly 8 billion people on earth and some of them are very rich, it wouldn't be a normal experience either if it was personalized and high budget :P
@@chadandersen6590 while this is true, I think the reason people were going for mckamey manor is because they were thrill seekers looking for an extreme experience. I doubt there's many people who are going to go out of their way significantly for a personalized but normal haunted house experience. Let's not forget that it's quite low budget. It would probably be an old apartment building with some dolls and costumes reflecting your specific fear or whatever. It's not some super fancy experience.
That's kinda the reason why places like Halloween Horror Nights have multiple haunted houses.
There is usually a clown themed one, one with spiders, one with tight spaces, you get the point.
I have always assumed that the "no swearing" rule is another way for him to avoid ever paying out. If someone does swear, and most people would, he can take it all the way to the end and then refuse to pay because they broke the rules. Like Willy Wonka screaming about Charlie stealing fizzy lifting drinks.

I love that Reckless Ben and Danny have began going through it, I’m sure this opens our eyes to more
I can imagine the torturer taking off his leather face mask and saying, "Mr. McKamey, sir. He said a curse word." while pointing at the perpetrator. Then McKamey rushes in the room to tell that horrible beast that cursing is not allowed then cancel the whole thing all while pointing to the waiver article 25, section c, line 6 that states: "NO CURSING!!!!"
As someone who has been in the haunted attraction industry for about a decade, most of us don’t like this guy, and a lot of people don’t even consider what he does to be worth calling a haunted house. This place and places like it are why so many people refuse to go through haunts and they really give the industry a bad name.
Its not a haunted attraction. It's fear factor with a bullshit plot Russ tries to make you believe is real. Starting with the "Waiver"
As someone who's grown up in a HAUNT family, I can 100% agree with this statement. Gives normal haunts a very bad reputation purely because Russ is a narcissistic masochist
Hey, haunt fam! Just came looking for y'all to wish you happy build season!
This was one of the first "haunted houses" I had heard of and it made me never want to go to a haunted house. Then I realized normal haunted houses are a lot of fun

Something I didn't see you mention that ALLEDGEDLY a veteran went to the manor and was 2 HOURS away from winning the 20k prize money was kicked out by Russ out of fear he was going to win. Russ' excuse to kicking him out was something like "I just saw he couldn't handle it anymore so I pulled the plug for him", which was total bullshit. The veteran would plead to Russ he could still go on but Russ being Russ kicked him out. Again ALLEDGEDLY the veteran would later sue Russ for unlawfully kicking him out when he could still go on. The veteran would lose the case and of course Russ would laugh at him with more money in his pockets.
He does mention it - the guy that was in for nine a half hours and got disqualified for hypothermia. In the actual McKamey Manor video of that incident the contestant identifies himself as a Marine vet in the intro.

Broskies.. I knew Russ when he first started as a house haunt that looped through and around his personal house and you could pay your way in with a bag of dog food. Because they rescued retired racing greyhounds. I was even on the list of volunteers at the beginning. Something happens that changed everything greatly after the first 3 years. Look into that change.

I hope you're able to go back to that house haunt this year. I used to go to Netherworld every year with my father and brother--it was a tradition that I sadly think it's dying out, but I'm trying to keep it going. I love the artistry and the joy of Halloween with real haunted attractions. I remember when my church had one when I was growing up. I miss it. It was so much fun working in it.

@@starfiresreign he's like the insane director from Manhunt
He should be locked up
nice
I think the decline was happening even before Covid. There is a huge difference between being scared and being uncomfortable. More than likely as numbers declined and people started to see it as more of a chore than a scare, McKamey got more and more bitter and unfortunately started taking that out on newcomers and his own employees. Honestly, given the presentation, that heart attack he mentioned had way more to do with physical strain, than a weakening of nerves. McKamey cared more about being in direct control of the experience than allowing for suspense to gradually build. It seems the moment people were picked up, they were forcibly guided through the experience. A reason what a haunted house or barn works is because of free movement, it’s up to you to walk/run through it. A certain amount of free exploration is preferred and moments of being quiet/alone force you to try to imagine what’s around that next corner? Is it a guy with a chainsaw and mask or two little girls dressed the same singing a creepy rendition of a nursery rhyme, or is it a just a completely dark room with ambient noise and nothing else? The best horror often thrives on the mantra less is more.
It's heartwarming to hear you laugh so much while making this, it made those moments all the more hilarious. Also glad McKamey is wheelchair accessible. 😂
I've been a haunt actor before at your standard mid-budget boo haunt.
It's fun to scare people, but it's not fun to *hurt* people. I've accidentally given people panic attacks. I've also then helped those people to exit the attraction safely, because the goal is to never harm someone, but to just get their adrenaline going.
Even if his haunt was not as extreme as the internet made it out to be, his behavior was sadistic and unacceptable, and every haunt worth their stuff i know of does not want to be associated in any way with him.
That was not a haunt. It was a psychological and physical torture room.

After hearing most of the waiver, I am now completely convinced that McKaney Manor is NOT a haunted house experience. But rather a "Dumb Ways to Die" Death Game Tournament with a Grand Prize of $20,000 at the end. This is just a glorified, less dignified Squid Game.
It's like if Jigsaw decided to capitalize on his psychotic narcissism and makes a show out of his elaborate murder contraptions.
Nerd Explains how to beat McKaney Manor
No, because a Jigsaw show would actually be funny at first, and at least not ENTIRELY fucked up. Just a little puppet explaining how this contrived death machine works and why Terry Jenkins over here is being put in it after stabbing his wife to death. Then you get to grab your popcorn and see if he'll get spikes driven through his eyes.
except the waiver is fake
don't forget about the fact that he doesn't even give you the money.. when you're about to win he cancels the show. it's literally just risking your life for nothing.
@@Nickel_EyeYeah, a money hungry scumbag.

Some American Veteran went about 6 hours in or more and was so close to winning but scumbag owner here said “No he’s gone through enough..”
All of your videos are INCREDIBLE you deserve more recognition
McKamey will say 'it's all for the footage' and it's something he's said a lot in more recent years....I think that because he doesn't actually take payments in the form of money he sells some of the footage to those who are - well more inclined to get something out of it if you get where I'm coming from.
I like how Russ ignores everyone else when they ask to quit.
But this marine takes everything Russ throws at him and it's "oh you're shaking, we are stopping because of hypothermia".
Such bs no person can do that without shivering. The game is unwinnable.
Chad marine vs virgin Russ
Of course, he isn't about to pay someone.

My dad used to run a "home haunt" during Halloween and just stopped a few years ago. He would go all out, he had several animatronic dummies and decorations that were crazy to everyone who also grew up in a tiny town in southern IL. He owned a totaled police car and ambulance that he would stage in the yard to make it look like some kind of murderous disaster was happening. Ambulance lights and noises would flare as my aunt laid on a stretcher covered in fake blood just waiting to pop up and scare some kids to death. My 6'9" brother would dress up as Michael Myers and slowly wander around the yard while carrying a knife, never jumping out, just slowly walking. All in the while a dance remix of the Halloween theme song played in the background. God that was my favorite night of the year as a kid 😭

late but:: your personal haunted house anecdote at the end of the video was GLORIOUS context which really brought me back to the original spirit of a haunted house... not what MM spiralled in to. great vid!
There's something so...creepy about how McKamey can shrug off the fact they had a heart attack on his own property and his response is just "that's good footage". He really did become obsessed with wanting to look "scary".
@L Yeah, but caring about looking scary to the point where you ignore someone having a heart attack is a concerning thing
He could've just embellished a minor episode or completely fabricated the heart attack story though, just for the sake of looking scary. If nothing else, we've learned not to take anything he says at face value...
@L I’m pretty sure being obsessed to the point of ignoring a heart attack is not the same thing. Jesus 🙄 you really can say the most plainly understandable statement and still have idiots online struggle with it

It is the most hilariously unenforceable garbage I've ever seen. Its amazing how people think they're clever with things like this.
Exactly this!! Waivers so rarely hold up in court they seem to act as a deterrent for sueing if anything. I badly sprained my ankle at a rock climbing gym a couple of years back. While I'd signed a waiver that I couldn't sue if I got injured, they were absolutely falling over themselves to get me help and offer me free things to stop me prosecuting. There's so much room to argue negligence.

i just found your channel and i must say im impressed by the great non bias way you portray your post,always time well spent,onto the next and a shamless plug,i have a friend in alabama who does the haunted chicken house supposed to be good to....
There's no way this dude isn't some kind of a sick fetishist. Extreme haunted houses are okay but there should ALWAYS be an option for a safe word/to quit if it gets too much. We have a haunted house in Poland that has different levels and I think the highest level also allows the staff to potentially harm you but I don't think it's anything as bad, I'd imagine maybe punching at worst.
bro I've lived in places where shit got thrown at my ass, sometimes the excitement is just nice
totally agree, the idea of taking pride in not having a safe word totally gives off the vibe of either 1. I'm not into BDSM stuff that's for sadistic sickos and sex freaks or 2. I would love to be accepted by the BDSM community but I think consent is for pussies and I've been blacklisted by subs one too many times because I literally abused them and didn't take no for an answer
So? They signed up for it. Nothing wrong with either side.
@@dylanmonstrum1538 because consent is something that can be revoked at any time, it’s a key tenant of things like BDSM communities and even professional fighting, if someone taps out they tap out and the person inflicting an action on them does not have the right to continue anyway; as soon as that continues it is no longer consensual anyway Folding Ideas’ video about 50 shades of gray cover this idea really well and why that book is reviled by people who enjoy bondage
@@dylanmonstrum1538 that's the same line of thinking of "they gave consent at the beginning so I should get to do what I want" consent can be taken away at any time.
I wholeheartedly disagree with calling these kinds of attractions a "haunted house" it's not about horror or anything horror fans enjoy, heck, it does not even attempt to justify the "haunted" part, it's just a bunch of guys literally torturing you, bein mostly annoying, disgusting or actually hurting you. Things like McKamey Manor should be classified as torture porn or fetish houses, as they are far from "haunted house" or even "horror attraction".
Horror is not only about being traumatized, these places cheat. Imagine talking about how we fear things like the dark, the unknown, whatever dwells in the deep woods at night or what lies at the depths of the ocean, then one guy walks in and yells "You know what would be scarier? getting abducted and killed by the drug cartels". Well, no shit Sherlock, but the sensations I feel when I'm alone in the darkness at night, alone with my thoughts, are entirely different from when the cartels are having yet another shootout 2 streets down.
For a haunted house to be a true haunted house I'd argue it should entirely refrain from literally torturing people.
Tbf, he refers to it as a haunted house very loosely, and mostly just calls it a tortue chamber
tis true. true horror is about the mind,not the body: torturing people is just cheating because it's too easy to scare someone by just hurting them a lot. a MONKEY could do THAT.
Kind of reminds me of those creepypastas and Sad Satan, they'd use shock and dark stuff in order to attempt to scare you.
You got cartels shooting around your neighborhood???
Its not horrifying its just straight up humiliation, if anything the most horrifying part is just how degrading it is. I feel bad for some of the people that actually do this for thrill, in fact its actually kind of cringey and sometimes laughable. I would never do this because I'd draw the line at eating bugs (as that is just fucking gross) and I would rather not be permanently injured(or contract some disease) and also have to pay for it, but hey everyone has their own definition of horror.
The story at the end about him going to a local Halloween attraction is so wholesome and I love it.

to be fair that does seem to be the mckamey manor approach to things
I love JAubrey's channel, you guys make top notch content other creators should strive for. The passion really does reflect in the quality of your videos.
Of the things I'd say no to, it'd be teeth pulling and hallucinogens. Hair grows back (and I'm a fan of wigs anyway) but adult teeth don't, and those substances could clash with whatever medicine the 'victim' is taking on a daily basis, causing a life-threatening reaction. That said, just existing is plenty of torture so I have no desire to subject myself to more of it willingly.
As a haunt actor, I'm glad MaKammy Manor has fizzled out into a shell of what it once was.
I can only speak for myself, but I feel the point of being a haunt actor is to make sure our guests have fun. Yes, we are here to scare you but there's a point when people stop having fun when they're terrified. It's one thing to be an extreme haunt that touches and drags people from their groups, but it's another thing to take away all forms of safety during a haunt.
You hit the nail on the head, Russ lost his way and centered his "haunt" around physical and mental trauma rather that spookiness.
Thank you, I like when I hear from people like you. I saw someone else in the comments being really dismissive of people that can't handle these things and that kind of thing makes me really angry.
I've been through some intense, nasty shite, it's just pretty much all medical. I'm Autistic tho, and I cannot handle things like haunts. I've been through a (n accidental) paracetamol overdose, a perforated bowel and really bad psychosis so I don't think I'm a pansy, but I have bad sensory issues, a really exaggerated startle response and really bad anxiety. I know other people who I wouldn't in any way call pathetic who wouldn't be able to handle extreme haunts (and I do mean perfectly innocent ones, not Russ's nonsense) and I just find it horrible when people are dismissive of legit issues people can have that hinder enjoyment of this kind of thing.
Sorry for the personal essay, it's just something I care about a lot. I often see haunt workers comment on this kind of thing saying that it isn't fair and that people being legit terrified isn't fun for anyone and I just appreciate that. 🥰
Well said
Dont go to them. Because you dont like them doesnt mean you should say nobody should do these. That is so stupid to hear anyone say, "I dont like it so people shouldnt either!" is so goddamn old.

If they want to use legal loopholes, participants should get to use them too. Like for their two exceptions can be 1) no change done to my long term appearance (covers hair cutting, teeth pulling, and other stuff like that) and 2) no spiders (covers spiders)
I think everyone that has ever heard of McKamey Manor needs to watch this video, because it offers such a refreshing perspective on it.

Participants may find themselves suddenly beyond the edge of a cliff. At that point it is the participant's personal responsibility to pause in the air for the appropriate amount of time, and extract from wherever upon their body they are carrying it the previously provided desperation sign to hold up for the camera.

He now works at the local Walmart in the town he lives in in Tennessee, but he stills runs a small version of the manor that’s referred to as “The Bootcamp” in a barn and three shipping containers. It’s really just so he can tortue people at this point
this is true
Uh oh…
And ppl continue to sign up.
How has no one shut him down? How is this allowed??
@@avery_is_here9054 have you been watching the @recklessben stuff on the manor, because I feel like you'd get a kick out of it if you have a few hours, it's quite the saga and it's really getting juicy with a hard drive full of footage that is illegal because it's simply not lawful to contract someone into torture regardless of the word salad presented on paper, and if any real evidence of torture were to exist, it would absolutely sink him... supposedly, we're still waiting on that episode to come out lol
Reckless Ben Now has 2 great videos on McKamey Manor, where he goes through it. I definitely recommend those (especially part 2). His friend, Danny Berk, has done it, too (or will); so there's more to come on one or both of their channels.
