I remember as a kid hearing my classmates talk about going to the Hell House. Some said they were scared by what they saw and others said they weren’t. Whether or not they were is a separate issue. I don’t think I ever went. I just wasn’t interested plus I’m guessing my parents weren’t interested in taking me and looking back I don’t blame them. The reason I say that isn’t because I think they would’ve been worried about me being scared, but quite possibly because of the theology of the Hell House.

If you’re new or unfamiliar with this annual event, it’s a Christian’s version of a haunted house which attempts to demonstrate the scary consequences of sin and scare people away from Hell. There are actors portraying different tragic scenes such as an abortion or a suicide in hopes of steering people away from that. Scenes will also include a voice which is supposed to be the voice of Satan encouraging the characters of the scenes to take part in a sinful act.

With all due respect to Tyler Metro (the church that puts it on every year) and those involved in anyway, I think we’re missing it. Many people have tried using the “turn or burn” method in evangelism but truth is, it’s not biblical. I don’t recall Jesus ever preaching that way. He showed love to everyone He came into contact with and knew just how to speak to them.

The point of Christianity is not to avoid hell, it’s to have a personal relationship with God and quite honestly, you can’t scare people into a loving relationship.

Also, I don’t see the Hell House having long term effects. When kids are faced with temptation a couple years after attending the Hell House, I just don’t want to hear them saying, “Oh, I better not because at the Hell House…”

No kids under the age of 12 are allowed in, which is definitely for the best, but I don’t think the turn or burn method will have long lasting effects on a teenager but that might just be me.

Where is the Tyler Texas Halloween Store This Year?

August 25th, 2011

If you go down Broadway across from Discount Tire there is this furniture store with a gold painted roof. The store was called Tiny Treasures or something like that. There you will find the new Spirit Halloween store.

This store has it all, kids costumes, adult costumes, costumes for your dog. Keep in mind if you wait until the last minute most of the good costumes will be gone. Also these stores are kind of expensive and the masks probably have little kid and big kid/adult snot on them by the time it gets further on into October.

If you want to save money go ahead and shop for Halloween costumes online but we all know Spirit Halloween is in town only because they know better then many of us that we will procrastinate until the last minute.

I usually go into this store and buy some fake blood or something like that and just look around at all the gruesomeness. It’s fun just looking in there but I probably won’t be buying any masks or adult costumes and we are more likely to make my sons costume than to buy it at a store.

As a side note you may save a little money on your Halloween costume by going by the Card and Party Factory over by Super 1 Foods across from Casa Ole and Chick-Fil-a.

Adults Having More Fun With Halloween

August 9th, 2011

Here in the last few years, the Tyler Texas market has seen somewhat of a change regarding Halloween. More adults are now starting to get involved again with the tradition. Until just recently, Halloween was thought of as more of a kid’s tradition that focused solely on children’s costumes.

Things have now started to change and adults are starting to have a little more fun than they use to. The market has actually seen a thirty percent increase in adult costumes over the last couple of years. This is because adults are starting to have a better time dressing up and enjoying the holiday.

Maybe we have seen this increase because there is more stress in the workplace, so people want to take the chance to relax. The celebration of Halloween is different with adults than children. Adult costumes do not focus so much on movies and superheroes. Adult costumes have become increasingly more showy and sexy. I for one will dress up like a sexy ape this Halloween for maybe 5 minutes and that is about as sexy as I am going to get.

I dress as an ape because for once a year I like many adults want to relax and really show my sexy ape side of me and my awesome costume and have a good time. This new tradition is starting to make Halloween more fun for all age groups again. Adults are starting to get together more as a group to celebrate the tradition.

Believe it or not, sexy types of outfits have been the leading costumes for adults over the past couple of years for Tyler Texas Halloween costume shoppers. So there is proof in the pudding that we as adults are starting to enjoy the holidays a little more than we used to.

At the same time there are a lot of awkward moments as you see a teenage daughter of a friend from church in a catholic school girl outfit way to small for their body and they aren’t even catholic.

Tyler Texas Haunted House

October 30th, 2010

Terror Nights Haunted House
816 E. Oakwood St.
Tyler, TX 75702
Between East Commerce Street and North Beverly Avenue

Phone: 903-363-3291

Website: http://www.terrornightshaunt.com/

Someone named Sheri wrote a really negative review about this haunted house in Tyler on Google Places, she said

“My experience to your haunted house was definitely a nightmare. I was pushed out the exit doors and got to spend the night in the ER with 30 stiches”

I have not been to this haunted house before but it seems to be sponsored by a ton of big companies including the Spirit Halloween costume store.

A veteran actor and employee posted a 5 star positive review back stating that her review of this haunted house is a lie.

So we have a one 1 star review and one 5 star review from an employee, hmm which one should we listen too?

The Terror Nights Haunted House is touted to be a very safe experience by the veteran employee responding to Sheri.

The employee mentioned that this year they installed a top of the line fire safety system. Terror Nights has safety exit doors in every room and they train their employees to keep a watchful eye while scaring you at the same time.

Although this employee says Sheri is a liar the employee also states that they are sorry if the incidents she claimed happened really did happen.

The employee goes on to say some of the things in her review however ring false.

I am a safety conscience person and would personally like to know what in Sheris review is false. It would be helpful to know if the 30 stitches was needed because of a gash from the Terror Nights Haunted House or something else.

My conclusion in regards to all this injury drama is that I will definitely be scared if I go through Terror Nights Haunted House regardless how good or bad the acting and costumes might be.
