@Oddjob84: Staying encyclopedic would almost demand these types of attractions get mentioned. However, I believe this should be treated very carefully. It needs to be balanced so that no one believes Wikipedia supports these types of features, but it needs to be clear just how brutal they are. Think of it this way: Do you recall the film "Night of the Living Dead"? The one from 1968? Think of how zombie movies are now. Much more graphic. Today's audiences have become inured to gore and violence. The article should make mention of this type of attraction as a subheader under "Types..." as "Extreme haunted attractions", and the paragraph should start out something like "A recent trend in haunted attractions is to take the feature a little further down the path of horror and make the guest a part of the tour, sometimes to the extent of physical and emotional injury." It needs to show that the more jaded haunted enthusiasts are seeking a more intense experience. If a time-line for the rise of these attractions in available, it should be included. Definitely no pictures, though. If it's only haunted house types, substitute as needed. Make sure it stays as the last one mentioned under that main header.
