McKamey Manor

Now that we're knee-deep in pumpkins and candy corn, you've no doubt had butt-loads of people telling you about the "like, scariest haunted house ever, you guys." Maybe if you're into loose, rubbery masks and underpaid high school theater kids, otherwise you're probably going to be disappointed. However, if you're really looking to be terrified this Halloween, there's one place where shit gets so real you have to sign a waiver. The McKamey Manor isn't your typical haunted house. There are no corn mazes, no hay rides, and absolutely no kids. As it turns out, their minimum age of 18 proved to be too scary, so you can't even enter the place unless you're 21. Once you're inside, things get pretty intense, so intense that the Manor has been labeled the scariest haunted house in the world. There are a few rules, of course. Only two people can make the dark trek at once, and before you can step foot inside McKamey Manor, you must sign a release form where you swear that you're "in excellent physical health", and allow the employees to touch you. And by touch you, I mean tie you up, gag you, throw a burlap sack over your head, and generally torture you up to the point where things are just legal. Oh yeah, and a typical experience can last anywhere from 4 - 7 hours. Yeah, you read that right. McKamey Manor is so serious about its scares that not just anyone can visit, either. Potential guests have to not only sign up on the website, but that doesn't mean that you're guaranteed a spot. You have to be picked. Lucky you, I guess? If you aren't quite convinced at how insane this place is, just check out their promo video from last year. And get this - if you can't make it out to California by Halloween, don't worry - they're open all year.  UPDATE: Illinois, brace yourselves. McKamey Manor is leaving California for a bigger, badder location... an abandoned warehouse in McLeansboro, IL. The highly controversial experience was being run on a small scale in a residential neighborhood, but a GoFundMe campaign and the new space in Illinois are allowing the madmen behind the brutal experience to grow McKamey Manor. And yes, those plans include a more traditional haunted house experience! Worlds only "EXTREME" (TWO - FOUR HOUR), Haunted Attraction...dinner included. As seen on Travel Channels "Making Monsters" and Halloween "Craziest". New Location, New Sets, Bigger Thrills, More Extreme then ever! Must be 21 or above in excellent health. Reservations Only. This is Not Your Grandmas Haunted House!
