My Haunted House idea for Fundies, ... suggestions?
A Fact Based Apocalyptic Vision for Conservatives as Foreseen by Liberals


Every Halloween Right Wing Fundamentalist present their apocalyptic vision for us "sinners" in the guise of a phony Haunted House venues such as Hell House, Judgment House, Revelation Walk, etc. You can read more about these faux Haunted House attractions here.
http://www.religioustolerance.org/hallo_he.htm

So perhaps we should return the favor. Recent films such as Day After Tomorrow have dramatize the disasters that wait for us if we follow the dead end road of the neo-con death cults. There could be rooms in this progressive "haunted house" such as the Toxic Kitchen (pollution), The Global Warming Salon (global warming), Doom Room (cult paranoia), Back Alley Abortions (illegal abortion and/or lack of medical insurance horrors), and the Apocalypse Attic (more right wing paranoia). Your ideas?

I like to gather a group of artist, f/x experts, and coordinators for the first Fun-die House in Los Angeles for the Halloween season this year. However anyone anywhere is welcomed to come up with their version.

The image above is the poster I created for this project. You can download a high res PDF file of it here:

2. Social Security Privatization fun-house
Complete with old starving people, disabled people out on the street, and rampant crime from the destitute.

3. My ideas
An elderly woman freezing to death because she must choose between paying her gas bill and buying insulin. (regularly happens in the winter months)

A toddler who dies in an apartment by himself because Mom couldn't afford childcare and if she didn't work her WIC benefits would be cut. (again, plenty of stories out there)

A Vietnam vet freezing to death on a park bench outside the White House. (happened on either Bush or Reagan's watch)

A smallpox epidemic that wasn't caught until it was too late because the first victims were poor folk without healthcare. (a major concern for public health officials)

A gay teenager hanging from a rafter because his parents' religion tell him its better to be dead than a homosexual. (I believe more than half of teen suicides are gay)

A wiccan teen with her brains splattered against a wall, tired of having "Onward Christian Soldiers" sung to her every day in the cafeteria, pictures of witch burnings stuffed in her locker, and no adult doing a damn thing about it. (Michigan case a few years ago)

4. Wow, all good ideas
And the press this would generate would be fantastic. Although I'm sure we get the usual right slant.

Keep 'em coming.
