McKamey Manor, Extreme haunted attraction in Summertown, Tennessee and Huntsville, Alabama, US

McKamey Manor is an extreme haunted attraction founded by Russ McKamey, now run from his yard in Summertown, Tennessee, after starting in San Diego. Participants undergo military-style bootcamp exercises rather than a walk-through of indoor rooms; no one has entered or completed the advertised Manor. The photograph shows four pale, grime-speckled doll-like figures in a row, one with a red-smeared face and a single glossy dark eye.

Russ McKamey founded this operation in San Diego before relocating it to Tennessee and Alabama in 2017. The experience for participants grew more intense and longer in duration as the concept evolved over the years.

The name comes from founder Russ McKamey, who began the attraction as a Halloween haunted house on his own property in San Diego. In Summertown, neighbours have objected: Commissioner Scott Franks posted a community alert in July 2017 that drew almost 600 comments, most opposed. Journalist Tara West reported that residents question how the tour remains legal.

Participants must complete extensive screening procedures, provide medical documentation, pass background checks, and sign a detailed waiver. Appointments need to be scheduled months in advance due to limited availability and strict entry requirements that apply to all who wish to attend.

McKamey advertised a $20,000 prize for finishing the tour, yet Nashville Scene's Megan Seling wrote in 2018 that "there is no $20,000" and that nobody has reached the Huntsville segment. The prize's existence and whether it could be won became part of the Tennessee Attorney General's 2023 inquiry.
