      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.

      @@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.

    Fun fact, waivers don't actually absolve you from criminal activity. If you're going to a haunted house and you have to sign a waiver that says you may be injured or hassled or assaulted, that doesn't mean you can't sue them if you get injured. Like for example, if one of the actors were to beat you with a baseball bat. You could most definitely file a criminal complaint. Have that person arrested and sue McKamey. That's a fact.

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 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. 🥰

    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.

      Roaches remind me of a bad time in my life and scare me, mosquitos I'm allergic to.

    • @Alino-
      @Alino- 7 місяців тому +10

      @@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.

    Just a small correction: The drug tests actually have a purpose.
    It’s the same reason they ask you about drug use before surgery: your body responds with adrenaline to any significant injury, raising your heart rate, blood pressure etc. so somebody who’s ingested a bunch of cocaine, methamphetamine, any kind of stimulant before being literally tortured is at a drastically higher risk of complications like heart failure or other medical events.
    Those on-site drug tests are generally pretty reliable at detecting substances that the person may have ingested recently enough to be dangerous, so there’s definitely sound reasoning behind it, it’s not just a scare tactic

    Hi! Haunt Worker here,
    I’m not sure if he came across this in your research or not, but something you forgot to mention as well as that a lot of the actors he hired at least in the beginning or in the 2010s,
    A LOT of them had sexual harassment issues. McKamey claims that he’s not in it for the sexual reasons but a lot of victims and interviews claim that some of the workers would molest and/or mutilate their genitals. Sick shit. And it was usually covered up or paid off by Russ himself
    I hate that the manor has put such a bad reputation of Haunts. Because in actuality were just a bunch of fun weird people that put on masks and want to scare people.
    Sure you can go out of your way to dunk blood and eat exotic roaches but it comes down to…Why?

This is why that clause existed of no items allowed.

Yet if Russ was caught breaking anything in his agreement he would definitely be in big trouble as he is not under duress at all during the situation and therefore he couldn't blame his behavior on something like not understanding what he was getting into.

      ​@@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.

      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

    There's a far more sinister reason (on top of manipulation) for him including 'fake' things in the waiver. Specifically he allows you to choose two 'no gos', ONLY two things that he absolutely will not do. By including fake events/scenarios that by no means will happen he's increasing the likelihood that you'll select his fake-outs as your two 'no go' options, allowing him to do whatever the hell he wants to you. There's a reason the fake shit is the most extreme/life threatening as well, it's to try and psychologically steer you away from the less extreme, but still horrible things that are far more likely to happen. Glad this dude's life is basically ruined and he works as a Wal-Mart cashier, it's a miracle nobody was killed at his self indulgent sadist's circus.
