Hell House was first opened in October of 1991 and is a creative alternative to the traditional haunted house. It is a dramatization of real life situations. Each year over 10,000 people walk through its doors with an ambiguous expectation.
With Hell House now entering its 25th year, we attempt to keep that ambiguity going by offering new, fresh, in-your-face scenes and ideas. This year there are 7 scenes, with the walk-through taking an estimated 45 minutes (not including waiting in line). A tour guide will guide you through the maze-like walk-through. Each scene will give you a look into the real life issues that we deal with everyday.
Hell house is not meant for children under the age of 13. There are guns, blood, violence, intense scenes, and disturbing images.
Sorry, I do not understand this.
I would love to see some statistics on the long-term effect this has on a person's "salvation." Scaring teenagers into accepting Christ might give you some impressive numbers of "new converts" to tout in your annual report, but how many of those kids are still at your church (or even following Christ) five years later? One year later? Just one more example of the fear-based tactics of American evangelicalism.
