McKamey Manor haunted house offers $20,000 for anyone who completes the tour

Would you do it ?
A haunted tour experience that spans two states and lasts up to 10 hours requires its participants to clear a background check, pass a doctor's physical and mental exams, and sign a 40-page waiver.
Enter if you dare.
The McKamey Manor experience, which stretches from Summertown, Tennessee, to Huntsville, Alabama, also requires "contestants," as the operators dub them, be at least 21 (or 18 with parental permission), insured and pass a drug test.
Owner Russ McKamey offers $20,000 to anyone who completes the tour, but says no one ever has. He records each physically demanding and psychologically disturbing tour on video – for his own protection he told WFLA-TV – and then posts them online, showing the participants quitting in humiliation.
"You get a lot of people who think it's going to be easy money," Kris Smith, a 37-year-old Michigan native who works as a volunteer remotely for McKamey's tours, told USA TODAY. Smith was first introduced to the operation years ago as a contestant. During his first go-around, he didn't make it past signing the waiver, which details all the physically painful, high-stakes and grotesque things that could happen along the way.
"I read it and I quit," Smith said. "I got to the last page and turned around and went home.... There's so much. You have to pull out your own teeth, there's a chance of getting a tattoo, a chance of your fingernails getting pulled out. It's really overwhelming. There's a chance of death. Accidents do happen."
Smith later returned and tried two more times before becoming an official member of McKamey's team. Once, tapped out after getting buried alive in a wooden coffin and then again during a round of hypnosis that gave him a "complete panic attack."

It isn't a haunted house, it's effectively subjecting yourself to legal torture, that's all it is. I was fascinated, then did research. There's nothing "scary" about it in terms of haunts, it's pure torture. Kidnapping you and then just going to town - dunking your head in water, feeding you mud and foreign objects, pulling your nails, burying you under the ground in a coffin with spiders, etc.
Not as cool as it sounds.

He tortures the shite out of people. I’m all for getting scared but frick actually being hurt

This guy used to have this place in San Diego and then moved it to TN/AL.
I wouldn’t go through it for any amount of money. It lasts 6-8 hours. 6-8 hours of psychological torture? No thanks.

Sounds like less of a haunted house and more like an escalating series of torture scenarios

You would have to pay me a helluva lot more than 20k to pull out my own teeth. Have y’all seen how much dentists cost these days?

That's not a haunted house. It's a torture tour. Basically... a legal Saw.

This is his way of torturing people and calling it a “haunted house”. Right

He should be sued for False Advertisement. In no way is that a haunted house.

Who pays the 20k? Can’t be this loser
