Halloween is coming: time for the fundies "Hell Houses" to open up shop
http://www.alternet.org/story/9937/

Here's how the basic "Hell House" package operates:

Groups of 10-15 people are taken through the house with a "demon" from the cast as their tour guide. Each of the 7 following scenes last about three minutes.

* Scene 1 is a funeral of a teenage homosexual boy that has died of AIDS.

* Scene 2 is a "riveting reenactment" of an abortion.

* Scene 3 is a "satanic ritual involving human sacrifice."

* Scene 4 is a "drunk driving accident" where a father realizes he's killed his family.

* Scene 5 is a teen suicide.

* Scene 6 contains "the sights, sounds and smells of hell as well as Satan himself."

Finally, the tourists are "rescued out of hell by an angel that escorts them to heaven, where they finally meet Jesus and are given the opportunity to pray the prayer of salvation."

Last year, ALCC got particularly creative replacing 1998's Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and the sin of adultery in the Oval Office scene, with a gay wedding. The Rev. said that the wedding scene will feature two people dressed as men, but one will be a woman, because they kiss at the end of the ceremony and "I'm just not going to have two guys kissing."
