ADDENDUM: From "The 1997 Hell House Outreach Manual," a 263-page guide to creating a spiritually based haunted house published by the Abundant Life Christian Center, Arvada, CO.

DEMON The demon is the tour guide through all issue-oriented scenes. The energy level and quality of the Hell House drama rests squarely on the demon's shoulders. Throughout the duration of the performances, the demon's voice needs to sound "inhuman." Chrissy, the girl who is having the abortion.

CHRISSY's lines are few, but her impact is gigantic. She is one of the characters who will be talked about most by the visiting public. She cannot hold back or come across as being shy or embarrassed to be doing what she is doing. Screaming, crying violently, and convulsing all fall into her bag of tricks. She must play her part convincingly or the entire abortion scene falls flat.

DOCTOR Gives the appearance of performing the actual abortion procedure.

NURSE Assists the doctor with the overall procedure.

ASSISTANT Monitors the patient and the medical instruments.

Note: You may have a nurse, doctor or someone else in the medical field who is a part of your church. These people will be a great resource for giving this scene the authentic look it needs.

Green or blue gossamer for the walls. Purchase fire proof gossamer if at all possible. If you can't afford gossamer, check Target or Wal-Mart for green or blue tablecloths.

Complete medical attire ("greenies") for doctor, nurse, and assistant.

Complete patient attire for Chrissy.

Examination Table for Chrissy. If an authentic examination table can not be located, pad a regular table for this character's comfort.

Medical Instruments

Pieces of meat placed in a glass bowl to look like pieces of a baby. Do your very best to purchase a meat product that closely resembles pieces of a baby. The more real you can make that meat look, the more powerful the impact on every person who visits. The meat is going to get handled and moved around a lot. Be prepared to have someone purchase a "fresh prop" each day if necessary.

Theatrical Blood. Because a large amount of blood is used in this scene and in others, someone should be responsible for mixing a vat of it each evening that Hell House is open. Store the blood in one location: Blood Central. A representative from each scene can come to Blood Central to pick up that scene's supply. Be sure to keep your carpet safe!

Small vacuum with hose. Any small house vacuum will work. It is used primarily for sound. The sound, combined with Chrissy's convulsions, leaves a definite impression.

As the tour enters the room, Chrissy is lying on the operating table; her legs are up in stirrups. The doctor is seated and appears to be performing the abortion. His medical instruments are clearly visible. Hospital sound effects are playing in the background. The moment the tour group is within earshot, Chrissy starts crying. She is extremely distraught. Throughout the entire scene the medical staff is cold, uncaring, abrupt, and completely insensitive to Chrissy.

DEMON: You're about to witness the product of young love, compliments the back seat of a '94 Camaro. (The medical staff is at work. Chrissy is writhing and breathing heavily).

ASSISTANT: Chrissy, be still. This was your choice!

DOCTOR: (with extreme insensitivity) Val, I said I need more gauze! She is really bleeding.

CHRISSY: Why!Why!you said there wouldn't beó

DOCTOR: SHUT UP! You pay the money! I do the work AND the talking!

DEMON: And the killing!

DOCTOR: This is gonna hurt!

DEMON: They're convinced that a child is only tissue. But the truth is that that tissue has a brain and a heartbeatóand can feel his little arm being RIPPED off his body. (As the demon says the word RIPPED, the doctor yanks; Chrissy screams and jerks with pain and begins to cry steadily.)

CHRISSY: (Incredibly emotional, barely understandable through her tears) You lied to me! It does hurt! You're hurting meó(Chrissy's words trail off as she can barely take the pain. The assistant looks annoyed that Chrissy is not controlling herself.)

DOCTOR: (irritated) Chrissy, it's only a medical procedure!

CHRISSY: (screaming and crying) Don't do this, I want!I want!MY BABY! (the nurse places the first piece of bloody baby in the glass bowl as Chrissy screams MY BABY! Chrissy also reaches for the bowl as she says that phrase.)

ASSISTANT: You should have thought of that a long time ago.

DOCTOR: We're going to sedate the next one who comes in here like this. (The vacuum is turned on and Chrissy shakes and convulses. Her entire body rattles as the vacuum removes the final pieces of her child.)

DEMON: It's just too bad I didn't get YOU! (The demon points at someone in your tour group, looks right into his or her eyes, and holds the pose for a dramatic second or two. The demon then quickly changes gears and cranks the energy back up.) We must keep moving! There's much more to enjoy! Follow Me!
