Not just scary.
Sick.
You can't scare the hell out of people. As necessary as the Law in its Second Use is, Christians are made by the Gospel, not by the Law; by gratitude, not by fear. "Christians" made otherwise will always, like the girl in the story, be those who know Jesus "in their heads, but not in their hearts."
The works-righteousness of the Halloween "hell houses" and their perversion of the Gospel is bad enough. But their slander of Jesus by effectively making the Savior into a boogey man is sheer blasphemy.
And make no mistake: that is exactly what these abominations do.
