McKamey Manor, an extreme haunted house attraction that features survival horror-style events was founded by Russell McKamey and ran on his property in San Diego until it was moved to Tennessee in 2017. McKamey Manor has been the center of much controversy over the years due to how extreme the tours are for participants which often involves various styles of torture such as waterboarding, binding and gagging, force feeding them various unknown substances, and much much more. Participants have to sign a 40-page waiver, be 21 years old (or 18-20 with a parent's signature), and be physically and mentally cleared by a doctor before they can participate. The only entry fee for the tour is four cans of dog food or a large bag of dog food for Russ' dogs.

Not only has the manor garnered negative attention, but Russ himself has for his recently dropped charges filed by his girlfriend and his video posts on YouTube and Tik Tok.
