Question about a haunted house

So I wouldn't usually ask something dumb like this, but I'm at work right now and pretty much anything good is blocked (save for the PA forums of course). ANYWHO, I'm a huge horror fan and fucking love haunted houses, and with October rolling around I've been looking at interesting places to travel. One of the places I just happened to see on yahoo was some place called Frightmare Manor in TN I believe. Apparently its one of those places where if you make it through, you get your money back. I was just wondering if anyone has actually been there, and if so, is that bullshit. I'd imagine if that little deal was the case they would make you do some pretty rediculous stuff in order to get your money back. I assume some liability form would be a must. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but its 3AM, I don't do anything at this shift but watch movies and I'm bored out of my mind, so yeah.

it looks like it's basically a fear factor-type deal and not actually like "don't be scared"
so basically you have to eat some bugs, drink something gross, and do something a lot of people are afraid of
it's 15 dollars to do this
it looks like it had a few haunted houses affiliated with it, but this is called "NIGHTMARE AT FRIGHTMARE CHALLENGE", and just the eating/drinking/doing" things seem to be the 15
basically you pay them 15 dollars to do gross shit, and if you do gross shit, you get the 15 dollars back and your picture on their website

edit: actually it looks like if you complete the challenge, you get EVERYTHING you paid for back again, it says ALL your money
whether this covers tickets to the houses, food, drink, merchandise, I don't know
My draw, it is not quick enough.
It is from last year so they probably have changed things, but the gimmick seems to be "Eat something/Drink something/ Do Something" where the things seem to be straight off fear factor.

looks like they still do the flashlight tours.
I say haunted attraction because instead of a single house/maze or whatever, they have 3 haunted houses, a corn maze, and a mile long, fucking TERRIFYING hayride deep in the woods of Ulster County park in NY. There's food there, bands, and neat little shops as well.
You should most definitely check it out.

Check out my art! Buy some prints!
haha i love their FAQ
Went there one year, and before we started on a trail, some guy wearing all black, on a huge black horse, rode up behind me and just waited until I turned my head and saw GIANT DEMON HORSE about six inches from my face.
It's a pretty awesome place, but I wouldn't, like, travel from outside the region to go.
Fucking strobe lights. I can handle the guy chasing me with a chainsaw.. but oh man I fail at a blinking light...
oh anyway, I'd say go to a haunted attraction even if they aren't really terrifying or anything they are silly and fun. But yeah, don't do that fear factor shit. Also I suggest you go to walmart first and buy some glowsticks. I know at qwivals you have to have some sort of lightsource on you at all times. So you can either bring your own, or buy their over priced glowsticks and 1$ walmart flashlights from them for like 10 bucks. I don't know how many places are like this, but I'm guessing more of them are than aren't these days. I heard it was cause someone tripped in the dark and hurt themselves and the insurance company had a fit.
You live in Alabama? Why not do the Sloss Furnace in Birmingham? They've got a few different kinds of Haunted Tours there. They've got a regular one that some of the paranormal state/ghost hunter teams have done to check for stuff and it's been pretty interesting.
They also do a big Halloween bash where they get a bunch of REALLY good actors to play the roles of psychotics and movie monsters to scare the shit out of you. They can't "touch" you, but they come very close.
Last few times they've had a Leatherface with an actual chainsaw with the blade removed that's pretty terrifying in the dark.
Where are you in Alabama? If you're south of Montgomery it's a pretty quick trip to New Orleans where there's a boatload of haunted tours and haunted swamp tours.

That made me lol. I don't know why. Anywho, I live in the Morgan county so driving to New Orleans would still be somewhat of a drive. Although it does sound like it would be worthwhile.
*in this instance may not means definitely will
Hatchet was the reason I wanted to go on a swamp tour in New Orleans. I have friends that live there and we're going to try to set one up next year.
I hear they're worth the drive and cost compared to other stuff. There's a LOT of urban legend/voodoo/ghost stories in New Orleans.
Centralia is a ghost town in pennsylvania. It used to be a coal mining town but a fire was started in the mines and spread throughout the Phole underground area. the fire is still burning today. So its kind of like a real life silent hill.
