Texas Pentecostal church’s anti-abortion ‘hell house’ scares away some [http://www.chron.com/search/?action=search&searchindex=property&query=halloween&sort=date&channel=home&period=\*&keepFacet=1&page=2](http://www.chron.com/search/?action=search&searchindex=property&query=halloween&sort=date&channel=home&period=%2A&keepFacet=1&page=2) So, the Pentecosts had their anti-abortion haunted house, but didn’t advertise it as such. You didn’t find out it was a Pentecostal anti-abortion haunted house until after you paid and went inside. Eek! ---

I actually watched a documentary on this kind of thing (called ‘Hell House’) earlier this week. It’s on Netflix instant watch and it’s pretty interesting in a weird and creepy way. ---

> [@](#): > > Describing the Pasadena hell house, Ybarra told KTRK, “There was a young lady lying on a gurney, and two nurses. And one of the nurses was reaching into the lady and pulling out a bunch of gunk, and throwing it on the floor…. I quickly realized that this is not something that I wanted to be at. So I asked if I could leave, and they did not allow us to leave.” Could the people who ran the hell house face charges for not allowing them to leave? What would have happened if they threatened to call the cops? ---
