Church's Hell House draws on Sept. 11 tragedy
Victorious Life Church puts on a Hell House each year that creators say depicts the real threat posed by the devil and his minions.

But what makes this year's rant against the forces of darkness stand out is the over-arching theme of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on America. Scenes are worked into the plot line that inevitably lead sinners into the abyss, and saints on to glory. ...

...One of the scenes depicts a young woman showing up early for her abortion appointment, "because I start a new job today and I need to get to work in the twin towers." While a demon narrates, the curtain is thrown back after the procedure to reveal a medical container with the "fetus," a kewpie doll covered in dark red, lumpy syrup. The demon sticks her finger into the pan, then into her mouth and says, "This one tastes like a boy."

One teen girl in a Friday tour gagged at the sight of shelves containing numerous large jars of aborted "fetuses," the demon's trophy collection.

Later, at ground zero, a demon named Carnage describes his glee at "all of man's pride and accomplishments tumbling down." The condemned souls are hauled away, screaming, by hideous creatures into the pit. The righteous are escorted by white-clad angels with swords into their final reward, through the pearly gates.

Mixing in news footage of Sept. 11 with clips from the Jesus video, viewers are challenged to make their commitment to be born-again into God's kingdom. ...
