As many others have stated, this is NOT how extreme haunted houses work - no matter what this man wants you to believe. I've worked in an extreme haunted house in multiple positions, including as an actor on extreme nights. Yes, you sign a document because this DOES push you and your limits - but we always have to abide by the law. That means we cannot, and will not, intentionally put any customer in harm's way. Injuries DO occur, but they are not intended and usually occur when a guest freaks out for whatever reason. If an injury occurs, any play stops immediately for that group and the person is escorted out to get taken care of. What we are allowed to do is to push you and give other 'light' touches - nothing like a serious punch, and CERTAINLY nothing like actually torturing someone! Shouting at you and screaming is commonplace, but we are also trained to recognize when someone should not be pushed any further and pick our targets carefully - as actors we don't want to hurt people, we want to bring that rush of adrenaline, but never let it turn into anxiety or a deep-seated fear. We've had people soil themselves, scream to be let out, cry and all other manner of extreme reactions without going for torture, nor physical or mental violence.. If he wanted a scary haunted house and finds glee in scaring people, alright! There's safe ways to do that! But this is torture, disguised as fun or a challenge.. This will scar you for life. There's a reason this behaviour is NOT allowed, both per the law and per the unwritten rules of extreme haunted houses. If you want an extreme experience, then find a place that takes your safety seriously first and foremost. You do not need to be tortured to feel a rush.

Bruh, my crazy ass actually did this few years back, after waiting years to get my turn. I highly recommend not doing this. This will change you mentally, physically and emotionally. Earning the money is literally impossible as well. I lasted nearly 8 hours and simply refused to give up. The closer I got to winning the 20,000, the more brutal they became. My breaking point was when they bound me up with chains (they were pressing so hard into my skin, that I was bleeding) and hanged me upside down. They put my head half way in an aquarium with the water covering everything but my mouth. It was impossible to breathe and when they allowed me to breathe (yes allowed, because you have ZERO control. They owe you), it was for a matter of seconds and since I was upside down. I still had water in my nose. So I was literally breathing in water. As I was literally fucking dying, they decided it would be a good idea to squirt some weird looking liquid in my mouth. The taste was so brutal, that it made me puke. They scoped it out of the aquarium and smeared it on my face and body. They were spitting on me and in my mouth. Nothing I said, changed nothing. They simply don't care about you. They enjoy it and you are theirs until they are done with you. About the waiver controversy. They showed me a two page 'waiver', but I wasn't allowed to touch it, or even read it. They claimed that they allegedly 'told' me everything that was on it. This conversation lasted only about 3 minutes. Here's the kicker, I didn't even have to sign anything. Before I even entered the torture room, I was already being hit and then pushed to the ground. Pinned down. Gagged so tight that it left marks on my face for weeks. They then shaved half of my head. When it was all said and done. I went back to my hotel room. I was in quite a bit of pain, but just assumed I was sore. Next morning I was in a fuck ton of pain. I went to the hospital. Come to find out I had multiple hairline fractures in both of my wrists. Also need 5 stitches in both of wrists because of the chains and water in my lungs. I had bruises all over my body, as well as flesh wounds. Don't make the same mistake I did. Stay far far far away from this man and his redroom

@@KingOfGaymes The problem is that this dude is NOT clear about anything, which is why ex-contestants that did not sign anything and went in without being able to use a safeword exist.

I don't know which consensual cannibalism case you're referring to(there are....several💀)but in the most famous 2-3 cases, there was more consent involved(as in, the victim knew in precise detail what was about to happen to them, and desired it)than in the ex-contestants' cases when you think about it lmao

[@NiGHTSIntoMemes]

Honestly, the fact that people are capable of having their rights waived at all-consensually or otherwise-I feel is a pretty massive flaw in our current system. It's genuinely repulsive to hear the cops say that their hands are tied because the people signed a waiver...when it's literally torture.

[@JK-gm6kk]

How do you feel about assisted suicide then?

[@NiGHTSIntoMemes]

@@JK-gm6kk That's a very out of nowhere question and I don't see how it relates to my comment?

[@JK-gm6kk]

Should family members of a terminally ill patient be allowed to sue because of assisted suicide, even if forms are signed clearing the hospital from wrong doing? I just don't understand what mental gymnastics have to be done to say this guy is this and this guy is that when they literally signed up for it. If someone wants to willingly put themselves through discomfort or whatever, I'm honestly okay with that. But to say this dude is a monster because he did what everyone knows he does is just silly, imo. It's literally why they showed up

[@NiGHTSIntoMemes]

@@JK-gm6kk I mean I'd say there's a pretty massive difference between helping someone who's suffering can't be alleviated peacefully and comfortably pass on and just straight up torturing people for kicks. Discomfort is one thing-if it was an ordinary haunted house I'd have zero issues with it. But this guy is brutalizing people, and that's not in any way okay. There's quite a few things in the video mentioned that he's done that go way beyond anything safe, sane, and consensual. Pinning it on the people curious about it rather than the dude who didn't even have an actual safeword in place until recently feels kinda scummy, even if it's "literally why they showed up." Plus, it was mentioned in the video that most of the people who were participating were super underprepared for what went down? That they had no frame of reference to go off of and that the dude literally got to know them before letting them in so he could make the experience traumatizing in a personal way? I draw the line at people having actual PTSD because of this. There's no way in hell this is in any way alright.

@@satan5091 People go to these attractions for a fun spook, not a panic attack. Don't go in acting like it's the customer's fault when this psychopath literally simulates a kidnapping, people go to these attractions for a quick, fun scare with the lads, not to be chased around, traumatized and literally kidnapped. This man is a sicko and you know it. Horror doesn't have to be in the form of physical contact, it could be atmospheric, a looming dread, a noise, plenty of things. Horror doesn't specifically have to be physical, and McKamey took it way too far and it doesn't take a genius to figure that out. If someone has a heart attack in your horror establishment, that means you need to tone it down so it doesn't happen again, that's when you know lines are being crossed when someone passes away during your attraction. Many, many other horror attractions know how to handle this business properly, they don't get physical, they rely on visual and atmospheric horror and they never, never keep it going while the customer is literally bawling their eyes out or suffering from a panic attack or about to have a heart attack. Do not pin the blame on the victims, pin it on the jackass who runs this little freak show. Consent doesn't make it okay, you don't murder someone who consents to it because it's still murder and it's still highly illegal regardless of the consent, it's simply common sense.

Then that is another thing I wish the US would do that Germany is doing. Cult leaders here are allowed to horribly abuse their followers here because “it’s consensual,” and I just think that is so wrong. If you watch the Nvxim documentary...the police had to be convinced to intervene. 🙄😣

[@natalyawoop4263]

There's a similar concept in US law. You can't legally consent to torture and the contract will not be upheld by the court.

This kind of genuine abuse also shows up in the BDSM community. There is nothing inherently wrong with BDSM. But there are a lot of genuinely bad people doing very bad things and hiding behind the claim that their victims "consented" to the abuse. As a society, we really need to examine the concept of "consent" much more than we have so far.

[@paccawacca4069]

Or maybe consent isn't the sacred cow we think it is. Maybe we to just drop consent being used a justification for a lot of things.

Consent or not, certain things should not be legally done, especially cruel and unusual torture

[@ahobimo732]

@@paccawacca4069 I think it all comes back to the fact that as a society we are EXTREMELY uncomfortable with power. We fetishize consent because it supports the illusion that everyone is on a perfectly level playing field.

[@ahobimo732]

@@capncookie1110 People don't want the responsibility of establishing or upholding objective moral values. Focusing exclusively on consent ensures that no one ever needs to be responsible for anyone but themselves. It's one of the many ugly features of modern culture and society, imo.

[@ryanjacobson2508]

Ethical BDSM recognizes boundaries and participants agree to not cross certain lines. This "haunted house" thing seems to involve gangs of bullies springing all kinds of horrific things on people in fairly short period of time. I think that is key; normal BDSM relationships are supposed to develop gradually and mature; this torture house stuff feels like a simulated violent crime.

My 2 friends did the mckamey manor. After you do the manor you get to go back and work at the manor so some of the employees are actually past guests who have previously gone thru the manor. Actually I think that’s a requirement if you want to work at the manor is you have to have gone thru as a guest first.

[@mallowhoney]

Anybody who's been around the BDSM world knows that it'd be almost impossible for a waiver like that to hold up in court. It's illogical and a sign of mental illness to the court system to consent to what is essentially violence or abuse. The law rarely cares about a waiver that doesn't pass muster.

[@thepovdweller]

Right?!

[@hannahfordyce9261]

If the waiver is true as well as all the other hoops it is mentioned that the customers go through a mental evaluation. I don't know much about court but wouldn't that over rule the mental illness in court?

[@TheMexicanVaquero]

I'm suprised no one has tried suing for civil damages. Sure legally, the police might not get involved, but that doesn't mean you can't sue him civilly for damages suffered, and if there really is a consent form, there might be an argument that you're not signing up for all that happens to you and thus there is a breach of contract, like with the person who suffered a heart attack, I doubt a Judge/Jury will find that a person willingly signed up to be given a heart attack.

It's actually strange because the opposite should be true. You can't sue for civil torts with a waiver, but this shouldn't make any difference to McKamey's criminal liability. If someone were to report this as an assault, I have no idea how (as someone who works in criminal law - albeit not in the states) the police would be able to say the waiver prevents them to pursuing charges. You can't consent to being the victim of a crime - there are plenty of cases to prove it. I have no idea what that officer was talking about honestly.

This is far beyond a "haunted house" and is venturing into BDSM and stress testing. I am fully fine with someone wanting to, and agreeing to test their psychological limits and exposing themself to risky situations. But I think it is important people know fully what they are getting into before participating. In these instances, people can stop any time they want, but I feel like you are kinda left in the dark about what is going to happen, which leads to pressure to continue something you are not okay with.
