AV Haunted House : The Asylum

To quote The Simpsons: “UH, THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE ABOUT JESUS, IS IT? ALL THINGS ARE ABOUT JESUS, HOMER.”

What would happen if a 7 year old ran away from home to be independent? Obviously the demon clowns would ruin their life until they asked for god's help. This "Hell House" is good old fashioned fun that wraps up with a lesson and a prayer. Certainly not as graphic or high production as some, but I imagine still effective. I appreciated that there was no real life footage in this one or taboo topics (aside from quickly addressing choosing gender). Obviously most people can agree a 7 year old shouldn't be living on their own so not an offensive choice for an outreach program. I wish this were just a little more organized. We had too many in the group so we struggled to comfortably see the scenes. It felt like the narrator character was yelling at us for not knowing where to stand but he also might have been in pain from getting whacked by a door when an actor flung it open at him. I didn't feel especially safe with the proximity of the actors jumping around and swinging their limbs a little too close in the intense strobe lights and a few times shielded my face with my arms for fear of being accidentally hit like the narrator was at the beginning during the rules. Overall if you want to support a local god group, this is a fun event. I drove up from the Los Angeles area and unfortunately none of the Halloween attractions in this area compare to the events we are used to but if you're already in the area looking for something to do this has a very fun small town feeling.
