The Rock of Zion Pentecostal Church (PrestonClark, pastor), located in Normal, is home of the only year-round Hell House in Illinois. When we visited, it had been taken over by the BlackGrail. They didn't feel the need to change it much to get across their message.

Hell Houses are fundamentalist "shock evangelism" outreaches designed to scare kids into salvation; they're much like the traditional Halloween haunted house, except with extremely gory images of sinners and the fates that await them. At the end, visitors are asked to accept salvation.

Victorious Life Church, in Waco, Texas, included a 9/11 scene in their last Hell House.
