What would it be like to be trapped in a real-life horror movie?
MONSTER INSIDE: AMERICA\u2019S MOST EXTREME HAUNTED HOUSE follows the story of Russ McKamey. The Navy Veteran turned master of horror, who lures horror enthusiasts into his web. They find themselves pulled into the no-holds-barred world of McKamey Manor \u2013 a haunt that doesn\u2019t end until Russ says so.
Originally starting McKamey Manor to satiate his love of Halloween, as the haunt grew in popularity, both on the ground and on social media, so did the severity of Russ\u2019 scare tactics \u2013 realizing that he was attracting more and more followers as he did so.
By cultivating an online persona and a cult-like following, Russ was allowed to display his basest instincts and rewarded with online fame and notoriety. Driven by his personal fixations, he turned his backyard haunt into a bona fide torture chamber: videotaping \u201ccontestants,\u201d particularly vulnerable young women, as he sees how far he can push them \u2013 both inside and outside of the haunt.
Merging documentary storytelling with the visual and cinematic language of a horror film, MONSTER INSIDE follows three participants as they dive deep into Russ\u2019s world and then find the will to fight back.
By showcasing the reasons why our subjects were pulled into McKamey Manor the film will explore why people make themselves vulnerable to harm. The world of immersive horror is a world of misfits, outsiders and those trying to overcome their trauma. Through the stories of our main characters, and expert commentary, the film hopes to show how a person\u2019s past could draw them into extreme activity, some forms of which might actually be beneficial, and thus more broadly answer the question: why do we do anything extreme?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

the worst part about this documentary was the fact that all the footage of torture was real. i’ve heard of the mckamey manor before and we even covered it on the podcast. watching people delve into it and seeing how they coped with the experience… mortifying<\/p>\n\n\n\n

for the record, i would not be able to do extreme haunts <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
