>> Digital + traditional collage depicting the institution of the evangelical christian scare house, a yearly alternative to the haunted house usually available to the public throughout the month of October.
Using Hollywood production-level effects, the messages of “alternative” and thus amoral living are depicted garishly, in bloody detail, with actors playing roles of demons and monsters of all types—human or not. it is a righteous amusement park fashioned with the grime and gore of a high-budget movie, made to appeal to sinners of all ages so that they may repent and be saved.
