McKamey Manor
McKamey Manor is an American haunted house attraction in which survival horror-style events are enacted.[1][2] It is considered a pioneer of "extreme" haunted attractions.[3] Founded in San Diego by Russ McKamey, it was originally located on his property until it was relocated to Tennessee in 2017,[4] a separate location was opened in Huntsville, Alabama the same year.[5] The house operates year-round, offering visitors tours that can last up to eight hours.
To participate, guests must sign a liability waiver that includes explicit details of how the attendee may be subjected to various forms of physical and psychological torture. In its early years, guests were not permitted to leave the experience without the staff's permission, but since then safewords have been implemented, granting the guest to leave at any time if they so wish.
McKamey Manor has attracted significant controversy, criticism and media scrutiny. Its owner, Russ McKamey, was arrested on charges of attempted second-degree murder, rape, and domestic assault which was all alleged to have occurred over several occasions.[6][7]
