My Strange Evening in Hell
10/30/2008
Somehow I've managed to avoid seeing the local 'hell house' production of "Nightmare,' which is a horror-themed Christian evangelizing event held in Tulsa, OK, until this very year.
After hearing about it for years and watching the interesting documentary 'Hell House,' I was finally coerced into going by Jennifer. Shame on her. LOL
Thinly disguised as a fun, 'Spookhouse for Christians,' the event reaffirms my disdain for radical religion. Two thick 'security guards' lead you through a series of different rooms, each depicting a different 'sin.' Demons abound, and the depiction of hell vaguely resembles a goth's night-club wet dream. The rape/revenge/suicide room stands out as a particular nasty reflection on the people who attend these radical, youth-centric churches. Any parent that would allow her 15-year-old daughter to 'work' for the churches event as a rape victim who then blows her brains out - over and over - for thousands of strangers each day - should have their heads examined and a visit from DHS.
Anyway, all in good fun. I enjoyed it for what it was. No surprises. Go watch 'Hell House' if you want to see how these things began.
Happy Halloween
