Looking for something terrifying to do on Halloween night with your friends? Haunted houses are usually the way to go, and there are lots of good ones to choose from. The McKamey Manor in San Diego is considered to be one of the scariest attractions in the world, so scary that the owner has been receiving death threats. If that sounds like your cup of tea, too bad, because there is a currently a waiting list of over 24,000 people.

According to the New York Daily News, Russ McKamey started and operates the free haunted house and has spent around $500,000 to give fright fans an experience that they can't find anywhere else. Visits can last up to eight hours, and critics have called it "abusive," but people keep coming back.
"I love scaring folks," McKamey told a group from NPR that came to see what the Manor was all about. "Once you scare somebody, the first time—your first boo—that's addicting." He added that with McKamey Manor he likes to "ramp it up about 1,000 percent and put people in genuine panic mode."
