  • There is no place for this in our industry what so ever!!!!!!!!

    http://www.wbtv.com/story/26731482/h...victims-family

    This group above had a haunt based on someone who murdered and raped woman.

    Also Rob Zombie event in Chicago have a John Wayne Gacy scene with dead boy scouts or whatever... that is sick, disturbing and without question unacceptable.

    John Wayne Gacy raped boys, he strangled them and buried them under his house... the haunt is like 15 miles from where this all happened.

    A Dalmer kitchen, anything to do with Ted Bundy, whatever its all sick in my opinion.

    If you had a son raped and murdered by Gacy, or a daughter raped and murdered by Bundy you'd be known to happy...

    Just a gimmick like haunt naked, or 'extreme haunt' with bags on your heads or XXX rated. Rare that they ever follow through with either the concept or live up to the hype.

      Nothing wrong with it...

      ...we all depict terrible stuff. BULLSHIT. We depict stuff of movies, not actual murders where real life victims families have to hear about us reenacting it. If f I ever heard someone was reenacting my daughters torture and death that place would burn to the ground.

        Depicting actual serial killers and the murder sites etc. is glorifying them. It is tasteless, disrespectful, unnecessary and unimaginative.
        Bull sh**, is a good term for it.

          loosely based upon is one thing. And I mean loosely. It seems every other year I decline a room idea with a priest or pentagram. We are the most creative industry in the world, we can come up with better ways to scare, without using Jeffrey dalmer.

            Thanks for starting this thread because I agree 100%. I've been discussing things like this with my clients and I'm kinda pissed that any of this crap is even associated with "Halloween". To me, Halloween is about ghosts, goblins, jack o lanterns, boogeymen and things that go bump in the night now of course I know I won't scare anyone with what I mentioned above, and that's not why people visit haunted houses, but this naked-torture-wrapped in cellophane-rolled in semen-strangled-thrown against a wall-spit on crap that's I see out the isn't just disturbing, it's NOT HALLOWEEN!! I understand that people have fetishes and that's fine but why associate it with Halloween?? And this real life serial killer stuff is beyond disturbing to me. Smh.

              There is an interview out there with Rob Zombie thinks its great and even mentions the boy scouts in the room while Gacy fills up balloons. I think haunted houses in general should steer clear of serial killers all together unless they are totally out of your own imagination. I few years ago here in St Louis someone did a haunted house based on this girl named Molly who was murdered and that threw people in a tizzy.

              Why? Why even try this stuff? Its totally classless.

              We all know Freddy Kruger is a serial killer, a fictional one great... John Wayne Gacy raped boys what is more disgusting than that before we even get into the fact he killed and buried them on top of it. These people have no place in the industry at least in my opinion. Bundy raped woman and Gacy raped boys... disgusting.

                  If you have to stoop to this kind of sensationalism to get an idea for a haunt I think you need to take a step back and take a look at the real world and see that you will do the industry more harm than good. There is no reason to promote this kind of an idea in any haunt. There are plenty of sick people doing this for real that we do not need to make it main stream and give people the idea that we are alright with what they do. Have a little mercy for the folks that this will effect in real life that had this happen to them and their families.

                    What else do you expect from an owner who does nothing but exploit one city after another for a dollar. Every haunt they open is a gimmick from Alice Cooper to Rob Zombie to hopping around from city to city buying into different haunts. It's nothing more than another money grab something you should have expected. What is new here?

                      This story is going viral ... its everywhere now. This is without question classless. I would agree with the last post as well... this is just another gimmick to create pr because you know your haunts aren't good so you have stupid crap like this.

                      If I had a family member murdered by Gacy I'd be over there spitting in their face! No question.

                        I actually think this is just as bad or even worse for the haunt industry. What does everybody think?

                          I can't believe he hasn't been sued. Isn't that a home haunt?

                            It is a home haunt. Unfortunately, Russ has gotten this idée fixe that everybody who goes through his haunt must get scared. So it has morphed from a home haunt to torture porn. I worry for his sanity and the safety of his patrons.

                              I got like 45 seconds in and turned it off. I'm sooooo pissed off at this kind of stuff. This is not what we do! I don't want to be associated with this kind of crap! Torture-porn is the perfect word for it. People with fetishes. Like I said before, I don't care what kind of fetishes people have, but to turn them into a "haunt" -which is a very loose term- is just wrong IMO. Call it something else, PLEASE.
