Chicago school cancels Christian haunted house that depicted Pulse nightclub massacre for Halloween 2

Quote:
Halloween is one of those interesting holidays that, despite not celebrating anything terribly offensive in itself, nevertheless inevitably drives people to do offensive things.
Most of the time, that offensiveness is limited to tone deaf outfit choices by clueless individuals who haven't got the memo about cultural appropriation.
But somehow, this year, a person calling himself a "licensed minister" used his entertainment company to organise a "Christian" haunted house event at a Chicago elementary school that reportedly depicted, among other things, the Pulse nightclub massacre.
According to Windy City Times, Tyrone Tappler Productions put a call out via Facebook in August for people to take part in recreating the scene: "Club Pulse, Dancers, Victims … CAGED PEOPLE/SCREAMERS, Extras needed trying to escape a cage! … SOUNDS INTERESTING? COME OUT THIS SATURDAY!!!"
Tickets for the event, scheduled to run on Saturday and Sunday nights, were selling on Eventbrite for $10-$20. Tappler tweeted that the school pulled out of the event on Friday evening.
While it beggars belief that anyone could think depicting this mass hate crime would be appropriate for Halloween, it gets worse: the event description suggests the experience was about making moral choices and "facing the consequences of your actions."
Visitors to 'The Room' would walk through 10 rooms, the description states, in which they were to "encounter individuals who will make choices. The choice is life or death; sin or salvation; heaven or hell."
The Pulse massacre wasn't the only off-colour scene set to be shown in the house. It was also reportedly set to depict a botched abortion, and the Charleston massacre in which nine black Christians were gunned down in a church by 21-year-old white man Dylan Roof.
While the Facebook page for Tyrone Tappler Productions has disappeared, his website says "Tyrone Tappler believes in reaching people in an unconventional way."
He's also quoted describing his writing process as channelling God's voice.
"I yielded to the voice of God, when he told me to write, my first inspirational stage play 'Help Lord, I'm Under Attack!' which depicts the life of Sandra and how she battles with the consequences of her wrong decisions."
Only God knows what consequences lie in store for Tappler after his decision to run a Halloween event that exploits some of the worst mass killings in US history.


How could anyone every think that was a good idea...

Honestly I found the article entertaining more then anything but it's still pretty damn fucked up.

If the idea is to scare people, then subjecting them to things that are horrific in nature makes sense. The modern day boogeyman is a mass shooter/terrorist. I don't care for the religious spin on any of it, but I like the idea of pushing the envelope on what society deems appropriate to effectively shock and scare people like they probably haven't ever been before. I say it's pretty novel.

what were the consequences he's referring to "suck a dick and get brutally murdered by a terrorist"?

That's what I'm wondering. It's one thing to push the envelope of horror / scares but... I mean that's basically teaching kids that people deserve to be shot for being gay. And then reinacting it. I'll be honest, the fact that there seems to be so many people out there who think like this is pretty fucking scary.

Exactly and the fact a school was going for it just makes it even worse.
The whole "minister" spin on it seems really suspicious.

I read your commentary and I went from 'hmmm' to 'wtf' then concluded 'valid framework'

From what I've read this type of thing is common in very religious areas of the US. Every October the local church will put on a "Hell house" which is basically a haunted house except it shows people going to hell. A few years ago I saw a documentary about it. By the end of the experience they try to get the attendees to convert to Christianity.

not really. sends a very anti-life message to kids. i think we need less nihilists these days.

novel, yes. scary, yes, great scarefest; if only it didn't have the religious spin, telling them "convert, or be gay and damned to hell!" which let's face it, that IS the message the church wants to send, in this case. otherwise they wouldn't have factored anything "gay" into it at all, cause gay is bad, remember.

well, let's see. the supreme court has ruled many times that schools cannot lead kids in prayer, they cant push religious beliefs and cannot pair themselves with religious organizations
of course when I was a kid and having to attend church, the church I attended referred to halloween as the devil's night and encouraged us not to participate in the satanic rituals of dressing up like demons and other characters for the sake of collecting free candy and now we have these churches today that are passing out candy, hosting costume contests and obviously now trying to depict your soul being taken by satan for what ever choices you make
so, is it a bad idea? no, it's great because now someone can file a lawsuit against the chicago school for violating the first amendment

that's a lie and you know it. chicago has heavy restrictions and even outright bans on guns and so many laws in place that have eliminated the crime problems so this clearly cannot be true
