An online petition with the goal of shutting down a haunted house challenge in Tennessee has gained more than 70,000 signatures after critics called the so-called “haunt” an excuse for a sadistic torture chamber.

The change.org appeal appeared online just ahead of Halloween, urging the Tennessee state senate to take action against Mckamey Manor in Summertown.

“Advertised as ‘an extreme haunt’ when in fact it is NOT a haunted house. It’s a torture chamber under disguise,” wrote Frankie Towery, the organizer of the appeal.

“They do screenings to find the weakest, most easily manipulated people to do the ‘haunt.’ If Russ doesn’t think you’re easily manipulated, you aren’t allowed to go,” Towery added.

Russ McKamey, operator of the haunted tour, claims a full experience is a 10-hour endurance challenge. Participants must sign off on tooth pulling, finger breaking or head shaving, present proof of a passed physical and take a background check, according to their website.

“It’s literally just a kidnapping [and] torture house,” Towery adds in the appeal to shut the operation down. “I propose that all locations where this is happening be shut down immediately.”
