The house of fear in the most terrible house. The best fear rooms in the world. If you're interested in seeing the creator of the world's scariest haunted house, here he is, Russ McKamey himself.

Best rooms fear in the world

Getting a dose of adrenaline is a desire common to people all over the planet. To realize it, it is not necessary to rise to the heights of heaven or descend into the depths of the sea, truly risking your life. All you have to do is walk into the panic room. We present to your attention a selection of the three most terrible panic rooms in the world.

Nightmare in Eilat (Israel)

The huge room of fear, with an area of ​​170 m², is amazing in its scale. In pitch darkness, accompanied by a dim candlelight, daredevils make their way through a long labyrinth-tunnel filled with monsters. Before the start of the adventure, visitors are offered a glass of tequila for courage; it is included in the ticket price. If all tests are successfully completed, everyone receives their own photo taken with infrared cameras at the moment when the person is most scared.

Nightmares Fear Factory in Niagara Falls (Ontario, Canada)

Nightmares Fear Factory is not a room, but a whole house of horrors located in former building coffin factories. Its creators claim that this is the most scary attraction on the ground. Everything is here: unexpected appearances of monsters and ghosts, mysterious sounds, reviving corpses. The range of horror stories is expanding all the time. No one knows what awaits around the corner.

Not everyone manages to make it to the end. There is a code word "Nightmare". If someone shouts it out, the attraction staff will immediately rush to help. More than a hundred thousand people have already been added to the list of shame - a list of those who left home in panic.

Everything that happens is recorded by cameras. The organizers post the funniest photos and videos on the website, compiling ratings for the day, week, month. They also make funny GIF animations. After visiting the “nightmare factory”, look for your photos on the Internet.

Xinglai in Shanghai (China)

Translated into Russian, the name means “Awakening”. This is an unusual panic room, which is a simulator of the cremation process. The person lies down on the conveyor belt and, like a corpse, passes through the cremation chamber. Special effects allow you to experience what it's like to be burned. The attraction opened quite recently, but has already managed to attract attention with its ambiguity.

"Awakening" has a certain philosophical intent. Xinglai developers believe that simulating cremation will help people overcome the fear of the unknown and feel reborn. There is common sense in such reasoning.

Although fear rooms were originally invented by Walt Disney only as entertainment, psychologists say that they have practical benefits. Having raised fears from the depths of the subconscious, we learn to fight them - and win.

San Diego resident Russ McKamey, 55, and his girlfriend Carol Schultz opened " Haunted Manor─ The world's scariest house of horrors, where visitors will certainly be tied up, forced into a cage with snakes and doused in slippery artificial blood. Incredibly, there are already 24 thousand people in the application queue. No one has ever withstood all the tests, not even marines and extreme sports enthusiasts, and dozens of adult men ran out of this room with tears in their eyes.

Admission is granted only to persons over 21 years of age.

A devoted fan of horror films such as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Haunted House, McKamey decided to create the "scariest house" with smoke and mirrors that would make even grown men cry. The couple spent more than 500 thousand dollars to realize their dream. “You won’t find anything like it in the whole world. It's like living through your own horror movie. The mansion contains four different rooms, designed specifically for the hardcore fans who decide to go through with it. All challenges are very interactive. Those experiences and obstacles should show you what you can do and what you can't do,” McKamey explains.

The interactive adventure is described as a real-life horror movie that visitors can record on camera, look at themselves from the outside and relive all that fear once again. Everyone has the opportunity to watch the tests of other people using an online broadcast, one session of which lasts from four to eight hours.

The premiere of the film “Claustrophobes” took place today. The plot of the movie revolves around a group of friends who decided to go on a quest together and did not even suspect that most of them would not return alive. We were so impressed that we decided to find the real most interesting and creepy quests in the world.

"Ghost Manor"

This quest was invented by Russ McKamey and Carol, his girlfriend. It is held in San Diego in the USA and the amount of adrenaline cannot be compared with any other quest. The full duration of the performance is 8 hours, but none of the visitors has yet been able to complete it to the end.

Visitors here are tied up, put in cages infested with snakes and spiders, doused with fake blood, frightened with eerie sounds and lights, in general, all human fears are used. Inside there are four rooms, each containing the most extreme hardcore instruments of torture, and the emphasis is on interactivity so that every visitor can experience themselves. The entire adventure is recorded on camera and broadcast to a display through which the player is observed from outside the building.

Russ and Carol do not limit their imagination and come up with a different plot every year, and they are inspired by films: “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, “Psycho” and “House of Haunted Nights”. The creation and maintenance of the quest has already cost $500,000, but the couple can easily beat it off - the queue for the quest is 24,000 people, and only two are allowed in at a time.

"The Butcher's Shop"

Imagine that you went to a butcher's shop to buy something for dinner, but the seller seemed suspicious to you - he looked too creepy and asked an indecently many frankly creepy questions. And when you paid and were about to leave, it suddenly turned out that the door was locked... There was raw meat, blood, strange sounds around, and a butcher behind you. Brr!

The total playing space occupies 2 floors, that is, 350 sq.m. Logic puzzles there is not much in the quest, but there is a lot of interactivity, the actors are professional and fear haunts the players from the first to the last minute. In general, if you want to run, scream and cry for a couple of months ahead, this is the place for you. The quest, by the way, is held in St. Petersburg.

"Hut"

The plot is quite simple: you and your friends go into nature, settle down in a clearing and go collect brushwood. Harmless? Yes. But the action is structured so that by the time you've collected enough, the sun will have set. You will get lost and come across the forester's hut. You will have 80 minutes to decide whether to stay or leave, and don’t ask why so much time - the actors and special equipment will make it so scary that you and the company will not be able to think properly.

Everything will be quite safe and clean, but no less frightening. All the actors will appear silently, they will not scream or attack - you yourself will scream. And no one knows how it will end - all games have a different ending.

"A Scary Tale"

Have you seen the movie “Inkheart”? This quest is built in approximately the same way, only with elements of Russian folklore. Don't expect any scary zombies or ghouls, but rest assured, our Russian characters will scare you just as much. The locations, which are built and decorated in such a way that you get the feeling that you are under the binding of a book, also make their contribution. So we especially recommend it to book lovers.

There will be no classic horror - only mechanisms that are triggered in the most unexpected at the moment, humor and ongoing psychological tension. If you think that all this sounds too simple, then try it and you will be convinced of the opposite. Kikimora and Koschey are suitable not only for scaring children.

"Pet"

Before the start of the game, all participants are invited to watch a short film about a talented veterinarian who discovered his veterinary clinic. Together with his wife, he finds and treats animals. Everything goes well, but one evening the doctor finds his wife dead - she was raped and killed. It is unknown who did this, since then the veterinarian has gone crazy, and for some reason an eerie childish voice began to sound within the walls of the clinic. Already interesting, right?

Today I will tell you about the most scary house horror that currently exists in the world. Do you think experienced quest addicts could withstand such a test?
Do you consider yourself brave, are you sure that you are not afraid of anything? Then welcome to McKamey Manor - a haunted house.

This terrifying place is located in San Diego, California.
55-year-old San Diego resident Russ McKamey and his girlfriend Carol Schultz opened Haunted Manor, the world's scariest house of horrors, where visitors will certainly be tied up, forced into a cage with snakes and doused in slippery fake blood. Incredibly, there are already 24 thousand people in the application queue. No one has ever withstood all the tests, not even marines and extreme sports enthusiasts, and dozens of adult men ran out of this room with tears in their eyes.
The couple spent more than 500 thousand dollars on the implementation of their terrible project. The enterprising couple allocated an entire estate for a haunted house. As Russ McKamey assures, nothing like this can be found anywhere in the world. Each visitor to the haunted house experiences their own horror movie as all challenges are interactive.
On your way from room to room, you encounter dozens of terrifying situations that will test your psyche and endurance. You will be bombarded with rotten eggs, doused with terrible smelly mucus, insects will fall on your face, and perhaps you will be put in a torture chamber in which you will simply choke on your tears. Before you enter the house and plunge into the atmosphere of horror and animal fear, you must sign a document indicating that you completely renounce any claims against the owners of the attraction. Only visitors over 21 years old can enter the estate. Also, everyone who wants to feel incredible fear is required to undergo a medical examination, which will establish the absence of any serious diseases.

The most interesting thing is that entrance to the mansion is free. Yes, that’s right, anyone can sign up for the queue and visit the attraction just like that, but as mentioned above, the queue numbers in the thousands of people. Despite the free entrance, the owners of the estate are constantly adding variety to the environment inside. The design of the horror house changes every year, Russ and Carol make every effort to ensure that the change of decor does not affect the appearance of wild fear among visitors. The total duration of the tour is about 8 hours, but as you already know, not a single person has yet completed the entire attraction. Very often visitors weep like little children, so great is the horror experienced at McKamey Manor.

Visitors can even videotape their entire journey through the mansion and then watch it again as if it were a real horror film, reliving the frightening fear all over again. For those who want to watch what is happening inside, there is a special online broadcast where viewers can follow the walk of the unfortunate victims. A viewing session of such an action can last from 4 to 8 hours.
