That specific quote is from Requiem For A Dream

Man, that movie was horrifically depressing and very very realistic when you fuck with drugs.

Most beautifully made movie Ill only watch once.

And this is not even taking into account that it crosses state lines, which seems... questionable?

They kidnap you before even reading the waiver to you, btw. Its signed under duress, and Im almost positive it wouldnt hold up in court to begin with. The whole screening process is to make sure you wont cause problems for them later on, not for your own good.

Dude makes his money streaming it to betting rings, then edits out the most illegal shit in the videos he releases. He belongs in prison.

I feel like this is important information.

According to... What? Because this is the Owner's statement.

McKamey said he spends four hours with a potential participant, walking them through a 40-page waiver and "trying to convince them not to do this." He also said he requires a letter from a physician, a criminal background check, pre-event interviews and does a portable drug test the day of the event.

Wait you mean to tell me that the owner and operator says hes not doing anything illegal no way

Various acciunts of folks that have lived there and others piecing evidence together (the cameras used are commonly used for live streams), plus actual fuckin customer testimony that they straight up kidnap you before reading the waiver to you.

Dude's making money somewhere, there's no indication that he's independently wealthy. I've heard the live betting theory before and I don't think it's that far out there. Another one is that he sells the videos to people who get off on torture porn.

People who sign up know exactly what they're getting into but even with waivers it's a legal gray area. Serious criminal offenses can't be excused just because the victim signed a waiver. Rape is still rape. I'm kind of surprised he hasn't been shut down at least tbqh.

Dude's a retired army vet, so that might be part of it. I have no idea how much vets make though.

Not a whole lot.

Oh also his videos often go black and literally say we cannot show you what happened only to cut back in hours later with the participant in significantly worse shape

Nobody on his staff has any medical training, also

I'd think he'd have been sued by now if that was the case.

Again, the extensive interview process is to determine whether or not youll be a headache afterwards

Why would he have a hard on to perform the act?

Physical arousal is independent of psychological "acceptance" in men

so if your body wants something and your mind says it doesn't want something, which governs?

I'm no professional

But you'll physically be pleasured by it, even if you're mentally against it

It's a common "justification" against accusations of rape: "you had a boner/you came, so you must have wanted it"

You dont work there, you volunteer. You even said you dont get paid by them. Dont lie. Also close your account.

It's been around for years. You can get waterboarded, forced to eat bugs, forced to eat your throw up if you get sick, strangled, etc. The event was originally forced to move to another state because of the neighborhood getting involved. The owner always makes himself out to be this great guy who can do no wrong. People are fucked up that want to participate in that.

I have already explained all the context you're ignoring at least a dozen times, don't try to slander me or demean all the work I put in also I now work for ANOTHER top ranked haunt in the world that pays me now due to the closure of the last haunt I worked at even if I wasn't paid directly

Yeah I remember reading about that.

You basically sign up to be tortured by a bunch of redneck juggalos

Do you know of any really cool haunted houses. Ones that are thought out and cerebral. I would be willing to travel for one of those. Not this year, but definitely sometime.
