"Huntsville" is probably where they end up sending the handful of profoundly self-destructive and/or suicidal people who end up contacting McKamey, begging him and his cronies to "do their worst" and asking to experience "the ultimate" horror on offer -- you know, the kind o thing they can't talk about on TV -- but only after a thorough vetting process takes place. Ideal candidates would be estranged from their families, have no friends to speak of, be unemployed or working jobs where they can be easily replaced and won't be missed when they just stop showing up. Stuff like that.

I'm sure this "Huntsville" isn't really in Alabama, either. It's probably just a cheeky codename for the place where McKamey films himself and his cronies "hunting" these pathetic creatures, torturing them for hours, first during a protracted chase, then as captives in some chamber of horrors, where they can really make the best, fullest use of all those soul-destroying psychiatric techniques they've mastered back at HQ, pushing things right up to - and ultimately, over - the edge.

Huntsville, indeed.

Sounds like the publicity wing of some messed up Hostel shit. This is what they show us plebs. If you have a platinum membership (and a thorough vetting) you get to take part in the "real" thing, probably in Huntsville.

Seems like it would be a good way of identifying the best candidates for programming. McKamey wouldn't even have to know about that part.

Seems like its been getting a lot of coverage again ...

'Torture chamber under disguise' Petition wants extreme Tennessee haunted house to close
by Kaylin Jorge
Monday, October 28th 2019

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Thousands have signed an online petition to shut down an extreme haunted house in Tennessee that they call a "torture chamber under disguise."

It's not the first time people have called for its closure, but "Shut Down McKamey Manor" has nearly nearly 30,000 signatures on Change.Org.

Frankie Towery, who started the petition, calls McKamey Manor a "kidnapping and torture house."
ADVERTISING

The McKamey Manor experiences in Summertown promises an extreme experience that can last up to 10 hours requires participants be medically cleared by a doctor and sign a 40-page waiver. Thousands of dollars are offered to anyone who can complete the experience, but owner Russ McKamey told media outlets that no one has ever made it the whole way.

It costs nearly nothing to enter: Just a bag of dog food. The website warns of physically demanding environments, but McKamey says the manor is a mental game. The haunted house has a 40-page waiver. On that waiver it says you agree to being shocked, submerged in water, slapped, tied up, shaved or even unwanted dental work.

Only one person is allowed on a tour. It can last for hours, although McKamey says it never does.

FOX 17 News reported on a story last year when neighbors, county officials were upset after the extreme haunted house opens for business in their area. Last year, there was a report of a woman being kidnapped. Police arrived and found a woman shivering beaten and duct-taped in a cellar.

But guess what; she signed up for it.
