Kevin is ‪@TheBackyardScientist‬. At Mortem Manor, a year-round haunted house in Orlando, Florida: I'm going to try and scare him. Happy Hallowe'en, everyone. ▪ Mortem Manor: www.mortemmanor.com/ - thanks to all the team there!
GENERAL CONTENT WARNINGS:
Probably rated PG-13 (US) or 12 (UK). Occasional minor jump-scares; some flickering lights, which follow an on-screen warning; stage blood and obviously-fake horror make-up, and (of course) horror themes and tropes throughout. One scene of threat with an (obviously fake) needle. A shark. Spiderwebs, but no spiders, despite what Kevin briefly thinks. Cthulhu, and references to sacrifice. Blurred implications of nastier things throughout, but nothing seen on screen!
JUMP SCARE TIMINGS:
(these are all minor by horror movie standards, but listed to be safe)
00:27 - sudden jump in the music
05:10 - something unseen jumps out at Tom and he reacts
08:19 - something jumps out at Tom and he reacts
13:26 - Tom leaps towards camera
13:35 - Tom hits his head twice, which isn't a content warning really, it's just funny
13:51 - Tom leaps towards camera, twice
14:35 - Loud noises and electrical sparking
15:30 - Actor jumps out at Kevin
17:02 - Sudden screaming
17:21 - Actor jumps out at Kevin
17:48 - Actor jumps out at Kevin
18:47 - Actor jumps out at Kevin immediately after he says "nice try", which is hilarious
19:15 - Tom jumps out at Kevin
SPECIFIC CONTENT WARNINGS:
06:35-07:01: shark animatronic, inactive
09:12-09:37: Cthulhu animatronic
16:05-16:29: (obviously fake) threat with needle
16:33-16:38: shark!
16:33-16:47: flashing lights
18:30-19:19: Cthulhu animatronic, although if you avoid this you won't see the actual climax of the video!

Thanks to everyone involved! And sorry, Kevin. There are thorough content notes and timecodes for even minor jump scares in the description if anyone's a bit too worried to watch. And if you're wondering why there's quite so much blurring: KZfaq's advertisers prefer not to partner with videos that have even obviously-fake blood!

Hi Tom. I'm an actor in an haunted house here in Italy, and i've been for close to 8 years now. You have no idea how much pleasure this video gave me, some appreciation to the hard work we do every day to get people some good old high intensity screaming cardio. Being scary is not easy, fear is such a personal thing people can walk without a whipmer by 10 butchers, 20 doctors, 30 Old ones... but then just scream for somebody standing up and yelling. You never know, and it's such a delight to find out where each of your customers gives that "aaaaaaaaah" of fear i honestly think that, for people with such a (maybe twisted) understanding of humanity, there's no better job satisfaction. (for us it feels like, as an example, how the train car "felt" when you screamed "i love rollercoaster" in the Alton Towers video, that's what we feel when our customers leave the house trying to catch their breath and laughing) Long story short...welcome, if just for a bit, to the great horror family, we've been waiting you for so long... Ps: don't feel to bad to get jumpscared by the animatronics with full lights, it happens ibce a weej even to us who work in the same house for years when we're not paying attention.

I've always wondered why haunted attractions don't borrow from Walt Disney and add the sense of smell to their repertoire. The Disney parks pump smells into the walking paths. As you pass by a bakery, the smell of fresh baked pastries is pumped into the air. Walk into a dark room with grandpa and his entrails everywhere is one thing. Walking in that same room and bad smell hits you is something else entirely. It would sell the effect a lot more. It doesn't have to be a lot. Just the subtle hint of rotting. I was really surprised to see them show that they're doing exactly that. They're doing it right. I'd love to visit this place

As someone who had worked in a haunted attraction for over a decade, I always enjoy seeing how other haunts put their scenes together. I can attest that the twisting & winding hallways are definitely there for disorientation and dual (or triple) scare locations. We also used the air cannons, scents, laser swamps (complete with squeeze bags to make it hard to walk through), a squeeze room (aka claustrophobia room), shrinking room, and at one point, coffins that the guests would enter and drop through to another level. It's all about the redirection of attention and miscues. Get them to focus "here" and scare them "there". It was all so much fun to work inside, and even more to work the queue lines. My only regret - I am so desensitized to haunts that I generally walk through knowing where most of the scares are going to come from (and I feel really bad for the actors that give their best but can't get me with much more than a mild startle.)

this was really cool to see. Really cool that you got to work with these guys to scare the pants off Kevin and let them show off a bit of what they do.

And as usual the cameraman is immortal, least afraid

The loose hatches attached to the backs of the walls and doors is so clever

I absolutely LOVE haunted houses! One of my earliest memories in life was going to one with my grandmother. I was even a haunted house critic for 4 years. We would go to all 20+ haunted attractions in our city... sometimes 2 or 3 in one night... and rank and review them on our website... since the local haunt guild was responsible for the "reviews" in the local newspaper. I also would turn my entire house into a haunt each year before that. Growing up near Salem, Massachusetts and having actors for parents stoked the love of haunts and Halloween. I now want to rig up my glue gun to a compressor! Happy Halloween, y'all!

Kevin really went from eating dog food to being scared by Tom Scott...what a life. Jess is living his dream. Love how passionate the actors are! The blurring really makes the video feel more horrific, like a censored snuff film. Mortem Manor is in Kissimmee (not Orlando proper), just outside Celebration (a town that Disney built during the Eisner era...Defunctland's favorite era) and Disney World property. So for those staying around Disney, this is a great thing to do if you wanna do more than just Disney.

This makes me want to visit but it's a very long way also not great with mannequins. A tour with the lights on sounds good but probably not possible.

i just want to point out the improv on these actors. 16:16 after Kevin tries to alleviate some fear with "i've already had my booster thanks", the lunge with "HOW BOUT ANOTHER" was brilliant

Brilliant video this channel is awesome - love how Tom showcases people who love what they do and just gets stuck in!

Tom can definitely act this was amazing to look into a haunted house without going through it. I enjoy seeing how stuff works.

Now I understand why the term "chatter" is used for areas of pinball tables where not much is happening

I really appreciate Kevin's "I'm good" responses. He's so polite to the horrifying zombies
