Texas Man Found Eating Teenage Boy In Haunted House Attraction

Fright junkies discovered more than they bargained for at a haunted house attraction over the weekend, when they stumbled upon what they thought was part of the show. The Fright Night Haunted Dreams attraction in Austin, Texas brought in hundreds of people looking for a good scare this Halloween season. But on Friday night, this “Haunted Dream” maze turned into a reality for one teenage boy.

Here come the zombies! Not really.
I've heard of stories of cannibalism and it's just gross. What, and why would cause someone to do such a horrific thing?

Eyewitnesses say they were halfway through this macabre haunted house when they came across a scene with a crazy looking man biting into his victim that lay in a dirty bathtub. At first, it was just another scene within the haunted maze, but as they looked closer they saw the young boy that was screaming for his life was really in excruciating pain.

One witness goes on to say:

“I don’t think I can put into words what I saw. It will haunt my dreams forever,” said Calloway. “This sick ass man bit into this dude’s arm and I could literally see tendons being pulled out. The screams were unlike anything I had ever heard before. This boy was in some serious pain. I mean imagine being eaten alive!”

I'b be feeling pretty disturbed as well. The sad thing is many people probably saw this and thought it was apart of the show, which is understandable.

According to reports, once the group of fright goers realized this was not part of the haunted house, they decided to take action. Mike Sullivan, a Texas gun owner with a concealed weapons permit, said he had no second thoughts about taking action immediately.

“I unholstered my weapon and drew on this creep,” said Sullivan. “I got about one foot away from him and shot him once in the leg, and again in the shoulder. Just enough to make him stop until police arrived.”

Unfortunately this young man succumbs to his injuries.

Police and emergency response teams arrived on scene within minutes, but it was too late for the young teenage boy who’s name has not yet been released. He was dead when medical staff arrived. We do know that he was a 17-year-old from the Austin, Texas area. Officers took 28-year-old Philip Harris into custody where he is currently being held without bond in solitary confinement at an Austin, Texas jail under the close supervision of officers and medical staff. The haunted attraction has been closed indefinitely.

Sick world.

I told him not to dress like a bottle of barbecue sauce for Halloween but would he listen? Nooo!

I applaud Mr. Harris' commitment to the horror genre.

Agreed. That is terrifying, considering my wife and I go to a bunch of different haunted houses here in Texas every year.

My only critique (obviously after the fact and I wasn't there so it may not have been a possibility), but if the CHL holder was able to get close and put a round in the cannibal's leg and shoulder, he should have popped him in the head to end the threat. You are justified in Texas in defending another that one can reasonably assume is being assaulted with life threatening force.

Sad that this happened at all - I've always wondered how they screen their employees at these things (I've hear rumors some of these haunted houses hire homeless people).

Really people?

I prefer to "curbside" zombies. You open their jaws on a curb, then strike the back of their head forcefully with your boot, thus knocking out teeth. Repeat as required. Renders them pretty much harmless (except for the pawing), and saves on ammunition.

In other forums, people believed the story about the man pimping beavers

it's fake, already reported on multiple sites as such

But imagine being eaten alive like that to the tendons ah damn

a quick review of their other stories, listed down the right side of the link, should have been enough of an indication as to the veracity of this story.

Lots of hoaxes from that site, and or original site that they may have came from, have been going around lately.

Apparently for the entertainment/ laughs?

This is a sign of the end.

What is? That people cannot tell a hoax site from a legitimate one?

If in fact this is a hoax, I apologize. Sorry all.

It's Fake Guys!!!

The rumour is false. Firstly, there doesn’t seem to be any attraction with the name Fright Night Haunted Dreams in Texas, since any Internet search for such an attraction simply leads back to this same article. Secondly there has been no media coverage whatsoever – national or even local – of such an event occurring, which it naturally would considering the extreme claims made in the story.

Thirdly, the images in the title image used to illustrate the article have all been taken elsewhere. The theme park with the clown entrance is actually in Ohio, and is called the Haunted Hydro Attraction Park. The mugshot used to illustrate the article isn’t new, it has been spreading online since at least 2009, and the image of the blood stained bath was taken from an unrelated story.

Finally, and perhaps most tellingly, Now8News.com, the website that originally published the story, it a fake news website. It doesn’t publish genuine news. Most fake news sites will have a disclaimer somewhere on the site outing the site as publishing spoof news, but at the time of writing there is no apparent disclaimer on this website.

ATS lesson imparted…

Always check other sources before bringing stuff.

Thought so, didn't make sense that it only mentions a bite off the arm but the person getting ate died.

a reply to: slapjacks

Of course it's fake, the guy didn't shoot the cannibal in the head like I'm sure most of us would do if we saw a young boy being eaten alive.

It's 5 days until Halloween, can't we just pretend this story is true?
