"Haunted houses become more extreme" by Callum Borchers | Globe Staff October 25, 2014
When you run haunted theme parks for a living, you don’t scare easily. But these days Michael Accomando is terrified.
The Spooky World co-owner looks around his industry and sees what he considers a disturbing trend: Halloween attractions that go far beyond creepy masks and fake blood, to outright physical confrontation of willing participants, including binding, gagging, and torture tactics such as waterboarding.
“With some of these extreme haunts, somebody is going to die at some point,” said Accomando, whose haunted houses in Litchfield, N.H., and Cranston, R.I., enforce strict no-touching rules. “I guarantee that’s going to happen.”
Americans’ growing love of Halloween, coupled with their increasing desensitization to violence and gore, has created a dilemma for the $500 million haunted theme park industry.
Okay, I wanted to comment on a few things here before moving to the next room.
The first is this obscene fascination with torture and its introduction through culture and television that has somehow normalized it all, I've heard of that, torture, no big deal, even Obama said we tortured some folks as he represses and redacts the report. Now it is being turned into some sort of AMUSEMENT! Talk about conditioning a people for what is coming their way, and it is not amusing at all if you are under it. Remember the words "I confess" and sign whatever they want.
The second thing is the "love" coupled with desensitization of violence and gore comment coming from a ma$$ media that has done all it can to desensitize us to the goddamn wars while pushing the gun control agenda back here at home. The stinking hypocritical steamers they defecate on a daily basis are beyond offensive and insulting at this point. Couple that with the con$tant per$pective coming from my propaganda pre$$ and the dilemma for industry comment makes a lot of $en$e.
People want more than ever to be scared, yet because consumers are exposed to graphic content on a regular basis — in popular horror movies, for example — it is a steep challenge to come up with a novel fright.
I don't watch horror movies anymore, and that includes the staged and scripted frauds and fakes of the "news" channels. The Globe is scary enough for me.
The result is a small but expanding subgenre of hard-core haunts that immerse patrons in simulated scenes of cruelty and abuse that seem pulled from some rogue CIA operation. These operations are targeted at mature audiences only, often enforcing age minimums of 16, 18, or even 21.
Yeah, except it wasn't rogue, it was policy signed off on by Bush, Cheney, Condi, Rummy, et al, and it continues to this day (in international waters so Obummer doesn't look bad, of course).
Some are such low-profile operations that they’re run out of private homes, and many operate with little or no oversight. A few have joined industry trade groups, only to be booted out for being too extreme; others are asked to tone things down by nervous landlords.
Oh, so this is some scheme to regulate fake torture from a government that engages in the real stuff (with little or no oversight -- or articles in the paper, for that matter)?
Even many mainstream haunts have taken a sharp turn from classic imaginary characters, like vampires and ghosts, and embraced darker, more realistic figures, such as kidnappers and serial killers.
Does that include lying presidents and former presidents of the U.S.A., the coterie of Israeli war criminal cabinets, and their EU collaborators?
I must admit, seeing them in a haunted house would frighten the fuck out of me.
Accomando, for one, has pushed the envelope at Spooky World. At its New Hampshire location, his company last year staged the discovery of fake human remains in nearby woods to hype its latest plotline. And because Spooky World got local police to play along, some residents thought the faux crime scene was legitimate.
Okay, I want to stop right here and point out something: be it crisis actors, fake videos, fake shootings, and all the other scripted and staged false flag drills gone live, this goes to show you that YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING that comes from AUTHORITY or its ma$$ media MOUTHPIECES!
Look, folks, if they would fake the fireworks there is nothing they would not fake. It's more likely than not, much more likely, that EVERYTHING YOU SEE or READ in the AmeriKan ma$$ media is DISTORTION at BEST, STAGED and SCRIPTED FAKERY at WORST!
It's ALL LIES, folks. All AGENDA-PUSHING LIES to BENEFIT a cho$en elite!!
Such stunts always spark complaints, yet people come in droves — 60,000 to the Litchfield Spooky World alone, in a good year. That’s merely a sliver of an adult haunted-house market the National Retail Federation estimates at 32.7 million people.
“Haunts are increasingly becoming more of a personal immersive theater experience,” said Christine Scharf, editor-in-chief of the Raven & Black Cat, a website that reviews haunted houses. “In the digital age when everything is virtual, people are looking for that tactile experience. The more extreme haunts make you the star of your own horror movie.”
You first.
One of the most intense attractions ever rated by Scharf’s site was at Cranmore Mountain Adventure Park in North Conway, N.H. A small outfit called Death Becomes You Productions transformed part of the family-friendly ski resort into a convincing replica of a torture chamber, where visitors paid $30 to be handcuffed to a bed and have bags pulled over their heads and live cockroaches crawl along their legs and necks.
The Rendition Ride?
“What we were trying to do was take total control of that person and make them do things they normally wouldn’t do,” said cocreator Jim Chichwak. “The whole idea was to make them crack.”
So they will sign a confession to.... anything? Do they torturing your kids in front of you like they did to Aafia Siddiqui or KSM? In the name of realism, I mean.
The Cult, as the experience was called, lasted only the 2012 Halloween season. Cranmore deemed it over-the-top, and Chichwak acknowledged audiences were too small to make it a viable business.
But if the crowds had come and there was no criticism?
Chichwak has since reverted to producing a tamer production called the Ghoullog.
But he maintains the Cult would be a hit in a major metropolitan area, where crowds would be larger, and said his company was tapping into a real demand among people who want to test their nerves in a controlled environment.
That's the problem: it's a controlled setting and you know the torture is not real and could be stopped at any time for safety.
Besides, we already have haunted houses where people are tortured: we call 'em jails.
Indeed other extreme haunts have demonstrated staying power. At Blackout Haunted House in New York City, people pay as much as $135 to participate in elaborate scenarios that include staged abductions, forced stripping, and water boarding.
Enjoy the six seconds before the chemical reactions kick in and the mind goes haywire with panic. It's NOT FUN!
As for the rest of "The Game"....
Vortex Productions, the company behind Blackout, has hosted Halloween events in Los Angeles and Chicago and also has productions during the off-season to satisfy patrons whose love of the macabre is not confined to October.
I was going to say thankfully this is only once a year for a few days, but.... SIGH!
What a sick society we have become, but I suppose that is what happens when you have been steeped in Zionist values and control.
McKamey Manor, the backyard creation of a San Diego couple, is a year-round operation on weekend nights. Sessions run four to seven hours and can include being force fed, stuffed in a coffin, and roughed up to the point of leaving real cuts and bruises. McKamey admits just two people per night; the waiting list exceeds 17,000.
Maybe you can join the Gitmo prisoners for dinner.
Extreme haunts typically require visitors to sign — and in some cases recite on video — extensive waivers that include accepting the possibility of injury. Most provide guests with a “safe word” they can call out at any time to end the nightmare.
I already told you what it was. I CONFESS!
People who get a thrill from hard-core haunts experience the same kind of enjoyment others might take from different extreme activities, such as running a Tough Mudder obstacle course or eating ultrahot peppers, said Abigail Marsh, a professor of psychology at Georgetown University who has conducted research on the haunted-house phenomenon. The attraction, she added, is the sense of accomplishment participants experience after they endure such hardships through mental fortitude.
“Maybe we’re in a weird cultural place,” Marsh said. “People seem to find pleasure at whatever level is right below the one they can’t stand.”
Weird to say the least. Try sick.
Scharf said she has “only met incredibly kind, wonderful people” behind the scenes of extreme haunts. The San Diego couple, Russ and Carol McKamey, for example, don’t charge admission but instead require a donation of dog food to a greyhound rescue program. Many of the actors are just that — thespians working side gigs. Others include professional wrestlers who have been trained in the stage drama of their trade — performing seemingly dangerous maneuvers without causing serious harm.
They sound like crisis actors, and we have seen so many these last few years.
Despite such assurances, extreme attractions such as Blackout and the Cult have alarmed officials at America Haunts, a trade association of the country’s biggest haunts, including Spooky World.
You have seen what has alarmed me!
“We don’t like them,” said Ben Armstrong, an America Haunts board member and co-owner of the Netherworld haunted house in Atlanta. “We’ve spent a lot of time trying to make our industry more professional, and these guys come along and they’re touching people, waterboarding them. We’re concerned people will get injured or confuse what they’re doing with mainstream haunted attractions.”

As we leave the house I'm more sad than scared.
So what other attractions are there in the Globe's haunting pages?
"NYC police kill man attacking with hatchet" Associated Press October 24, 2014
NEW YORK — New York City police shot and killed a hatchet-wielding man after he suddenly attacked a group of patrol officers without warning on Thursday afternoon on a busy commercial district in Queens.
Here we go again!
At a news conference at a hospital where one officer was being treated for a serious head wound, Police Commissioner William Bratton said investigators were still trying to confirm the identity of the assailant and determine a motive.
Security videotape and witness accounts appeared to leave no doubt that the man purposely targeted four rookie New York Police Department officers, police said.
Moments before the attack, he was seen on a street corner crouching down to pull the hatchet out of backpack before he charged the officers and began swinging the hatchet with a two-handed grip, police said.
Asked if the attack could be related to terrorism, Bratton didn’t rule it out. He cited the fatal shooting of a soldier in Canada earlier this week — what officials there have called a terror attack — as reason for concern....
Now I know that was an agenda-pushing psyop.

"NYC ax attack was act of terrorism, police leader says" by Tom Hays | Associated Press October 25, 2014
NEW YORK — A daylight hatchet attack against a group of police officers on a busy New York street was a terrorist act by a reclusive Muslim convert who ranted online against America but had no clear ties to international extremists, the police commissioner said Friday.
Pffffffffttt!
Yes, there are terrorists amongst us!
Police were examining Zale Thompson’s computer for clues about a motive for the Thursday assault that left one of the officers seriously injured and ended with Thompson being killed by police.
Police Commissioner William Bratton said Thompson’s browsing history included organized terror groups, beheadings, and the shooting in Canada earlier this week that officials there have called a terrorist attack.
You guys gotta get some new scripts with some new actors because this is getting so played. It's not scary at all anymore.
Thompson was not on any watch lists, and officials found no indication that he sought any training or affiliation to any groups.
PFFFFFT!!
Bratton said investigators were trying to determine whether the attack was planned or spontaneous but believe Thompson was self-radicalized. His father told officials he converted to Islam about two years ago and was described as a ‘‘recluse’’ who had been depressed lately. ‘‘This was a terrorist attack, certainly,’’ Bratton said.
So what pre$cription pharmaceuticals were whacking his mind?
But he also stopped short of including the attack in the list of terror plots against the city since Sept. 11, 2001, saying the investigation was continuing.
Thompson, 32, had once served in the Navy and had a history of run-ins with the law over domestic violence in California in 2003 and 2004, police said.
Oh, no, NOT AGAIN!
He was on a PSYOPS MISSION!
In recent postings on social media, he ranted about injustices in American society and oppression abroad, but the postings didn’t point to any affiliation with a terror group or direct influence of radical Islam, they said.
Neither do mine. I'm just one sick of being lied to, pissed off American.
Security video and witness accounts appeared to leave no doubt that Thompson purposely targeted four rookie New York Police Department officers who were in uniform and on foot patrol in a bustling Queens commercial district.
When the propaganda pre$$ claims no doubt that is when I doubt most. Too many distortions, too many lies, for far too long.
Moments before the attack, the bearded suspect was seen on a street corner crouching down to pull the hatchet out of backpack before he charged the officers and began swinging the hatchet with a two-handed grip, police said.
At the time, the officers were posing for a photo for a passerby. Without a word, Thompson swung at an officer who blocked the blow with his arm, police said. Another officer was hit in the back of the head and fell to the ground.
The two uninjured officers drew their weapons and fired several rounds, police said. The bullets killed the assailant and wounded a bystander, police said. Officer Kenneth Healey remained hospitalized on Friday with a head wound. The bystander, a 29-year-old woman, also was being treated for a gunshot wound to the back.

"Police: Man decapitates mother, is killed by train" Associated Press October 30, 2014
FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — A man with a history of psychiatric problems decapitated his mother, dragged her body into the street in front of their home, then killed himself by walking into the path of an oncoming train, police said Wednesday.
Psycho.
Patricia Ward, a 66-year-old college professor, was killed Tuesday night in her Farmingdale apartment, just steps from a Long Island Rail Road station, Nassau County Police Detective Lieutenant John Azzata said. Her body was found in the street, her head several paces away, police said. A knife was recovered in the apartment.
Ward’s 35-year-old son, Derek, committed suicide several minutes later by walking in front of a commuter train, Azzata said.
Derek Ward was arrested years ago for gun possession and criminal mischief and had a psychiatric history going back about 10 years, authorities said. The mother and son had lived in the apartment for about three months, and police had no record of any domestic violence complaints, Azzata said.

"Car smashes Ten Commandments statue in Okla." Associated Press October 25, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY — Authorities took a man into custody Friday after they say he admitted driving a car onto the state Capitol grounds and into a disputed granite monument of the Ten Commandments, smashing it to pieces.
The man was detained after he showed up at a federal building in Oklahoma City on Friday morning, rambling and making derogatory statements about the president, and admitted destroying the monument, said David Allison, an agent with the Secret Service in Oklahoma City.
‘‘He claimed he got out of his car, urinated on the monument, and then ran over it and destroyed it,’’ Allison said. ‘‘He said Satan told him to do it, and that he was a Satanist.’’
The 6-foot-tall monument was erected in 2012 with the blessing of the conservative Legislature. The American Civil Liberties Union of Oklahoma has been suing to have it removed, arguing that it violates the state constitution and could be seen as a state endorsement of a religion.
ACLU on the side of the Satanists?
