UPDATE: Patchogue 'Death Camp' Fliers Were Part Of Horror Show

PATCHOGUE, NY — A day after anti-Trump supporter fliers in Patchogue caused outrage on social media, a horror theater company has acknowledged it hung the fliers last month as part of promotional video for a show.

The Shock Theater collective told Patch on Wednesday that one of its members had snapped photos of the fliers hanging around town over the weekend. The fliers, seen on street posts and parking meters, read "Death Camps For Trump Supporters Now!!!" Two appeared across the street from Stanley's Bedding Furniture and two more were posted across from the nearby Family Dollar store.

The signs include a skeletal figure wearing a black jacket, white collared shirt and red tie. The words appear in red overlaying the photo.

A member of the Shock Theater collective, a group that creates haunted houses and horror scenarios that people can participate in, on Tuesday said the company was not responsible for hanging the fliers and that it did not know who hung them. On Wednesday, Liam Wallace, who now handles marketing for the company, acknowledged the company had, in fact, hung the fliers, and that the person was not aware of the show. That person no longer works for the collective.

"We had to let go of a Shock Theater member for posting certain things on our Twiiter-that the former member should have been using to promote our shows," the collective wrote in a Facebook post. "These certain things won't be brought up because these certain things pertain to something we can't yet talk about."

The fliers were hung about a month ago for a promotional video as part of a show about the consequences of extremism. They stayed up for no more than two days. The collective stressed it is not pro-Trump nor anti-Trump.

Wallace also said death threats have been sent to Haunting.net, a promoter of the industry, following the initial outrage. One such threat reviewed by Patch said: "I got something for you before we go to the deathcamp!"

"Eat s--- and die," part of the obscenity-laden email read.

A Facebook commenter wrote in response to the collective's post: "So death camps for Trump supporters. I would like to see you try it. Bring it on."

Workers at three businesses on the block told Patch they hadn't seen any fliers Tuesday.

A spokesman for Suffolk County police said they were investigating similar fliers left on vehicles parked on Oak Street in Patchogue on July 25.
