I love Halloween, and I love haunted houses. That said, the scariest, SCARIEST haunted house I've ever been in was in Tulsa Oklahoma. It was put on by a local church group called G.U.T.S. - if you don't know the part of the world that Tulsa is in, there are countless "local church groups" which can have followings into the tens of thousands with mega-complex facilities and huge fleets of buses to bring the followers in every Sunday.Anyways, the line for the G.U.T.S. haunted house was massive. Literally took hours to get inside. Once we did, they led a small group from room to room where we witnessed gruesome "unholy" acts (read: un-Christian) such as people doing drugs, a girl getting an abortion, and so forth. It was very elaborate, very dramatic. Lots of volunteers, lots of blood, lots of dismal apocalyptic scenery. One of the last rooms we entered was essentially us entering into a classic vision of "Hell" - the entire haunted house was supposed to represent this concept, but I guess they wanted to make sure they made it perfectly clear. By now, most people in my group were truly terrified, and a few were actually crying. Then we entered the last room, the scariest of all. It was clean, dark, with a bright light shining down from above onto a giant cross with a Jesus looking person hanging from it. The cross was rotating slowly. We were saved! Then we were led outside and they made everyone hold hands and pray, and tried to make us all join their church. Terrifying.

Piff. Haunted houses. Who pays to be scared when Detroit is free.
