Remember that haunted house where *if* you made it through the whole thing you'd get a 20-thousand-dollar prize?
Well, there's a petition calling to ban it.
More than 18,000 people have signed the petition to shut down McKamey Manor in Lawrence County on change.org.
Folks believe that the attraction hasn't been honest in its marketing, which dubs itself an "extreme haunted house."
In fact, they claim that it's a "torture chamber in disguise" because participants have been tied, buried alive, and forced underwater.
Even residents in the Tennessee town have wanted it shut down since it opened as they claim to have heard horrendous screams.
“It’s not a haunted house. A haunted house is about ghosts and goblins and stuff, it’s not about that right there. It’s just a torture thing,” one resident said.
Russ Mckamey runs the haunted house and says he uses hypnosis on participants, which is why he films every participant and posts it online as proof.
As for the torture claims, he says it's technically legal between 2 consenting adults.
Despite the petition, he said there are 27,000 people on a waiting list for the manor all in hopes that one of them will be the first to complete the "challenge."
In addition to screening the participants personally, Mckamey requires them to watch a 2-hour long video, sign a 40-page waiver, and pass a physical.
20k sure does sound nice, but we're not willing to undergo all that stress when we can just watch Freeform at home or check out a local haunted house!
