Reality TV show under fire for \u201clatex suffocation\u201d themed escape room TikTok: spookshow17Reality TV series \u2018Spook Show 17\u2019 is facing backlash from viewers on TikTok over their controversial \u201clatex suffocation\u201d themed escape room, with some viewers calling it \u201cactual torture.\u201c Escape rooms are all the rage for thrill-seekers\u2026 but what if these experiences go too far? That\u2019s what netizens are saying about 2022 reality TV series \u2018Spook Show 17\u2019 after showrunners introduced a new kind of escape room that has some viewers calling the ordeal \u201cactual torture.\u201d For those out of the loop, escape rooms are like an interactive puzzle that \u2018traps\u2019 people in a room, which they must escape within a set period of time using clues and their own wits. These rooms can have a number of themes, from haunted houses to war bunkers and more. TV show faces criticism over latex suffocation room: \u201cSounds like actual torture\u201d Spook Show 17 follows a crew of people aiming to make the wildest haunted house anyone\u2019s ever seen, which features some escape room like-elements that require players to undergo various challenges. One of the rooms in the haunted house is called the \u201clatex suffocation room.\u201d This part of the attraction lines players up against walls perforated with a series of small holes and covers them with latex sheets. A vacuum behind the walls sucks in all the air the small holes, essentially suctioning the latex to the players. This certainly sounds like a dangerous endeavor, but showrunners at Spook Show 17 claim that it\u2019s a totally \u201csafe professional attraction.\u201d That isn\u2019t stopping commenters from giving the show some side-eye over its safety policies, though. \u201cHow is this safe in any way?\u201d one commenter wrote on TikTok. \u201cAre you trying to get sued?\u201d another asked. \u201cThis sounds like actual torture,\u201d yet another said. Still, others pointed out that some players might have a latex allergy, which \u2014 on top of the risk of possible suffocation \u2014 could land the production in hot water. For now, it looks like Spook Show 17 is still maintaining a strong presence on social media for its over-the-top antics. We\u2019ll have to see if it holds up to the upcoming Last of Us attraction heading to Universal Studios\u2019 Halloween Horror Nights, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
