A Haunted House that "presents the gospel of Jesus Christ" - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

Instead of skeletons, ghosts, or chain saw-wielding zombies, visitors see an image of a bloody Jesus on a cross, a video of aborted fetuses, a scene in which an actor portrays a suicidal man clutching a shotgun as the devil urges him to kill himself, and more.

“Then they had (the teenagers) pray and wash their sins,” said Ananda Brisco of Scripps Ranch, whose 14-year-old son went into the building with three of his friends expecting to enjoy a typical Halloween scare.

“We were shocked. . . . I had other people's children with me, and I subjected them to this without their parents' permission. We just thought this was going to be a regular haunted house.”

Apparently "hell houses" have become pretty popular in America lately, as I've read quite a bit about them in the last few years. Nothing like telling people of they'll be tortured for eternity if they don't believe you for winning converts.
