October brings many special events into play such as the corn maze, fall festivals, Trick-or-Treating and haunted houses.  One church in Dawsonville, Ga. is providing an alternative to the typical ghosts and ghouls found in the scary haunted houses that teens and young adults love to attend.  For eleven nights during the month of October Lighthouse Baptist Church will give audiences a scare that is not based on fantasy but on what they believe to be reality.  Hell’s Gates is the provocative name that is given to this outdoor reality drama that takes over 150 people to produce each night and has cost nearly $50,000 to develop.   The church’s pastor, Dr. Charles Blackstock, says that the event is quite unique in this area.  He explains that each person who enters becomes a part of the drama.  They will enter into scenes that have real fires, multimedia special effects and pyrotechnical explosions.  Each of the eight scenes challenges the participant to consider the results of making life-changing decisions.  Pastor Blackstock explains that this generation more that others has many decisions to make and Hell’s Gates dramatically confronts them with the ramifications of their decisions.  Dr. Blackstock continues, “We believe that youth are constantly exposed to evil and depression in society and this drama ends with the hope for a better life.” You can go to www.hellgsgates.com for more information and to reserve tickets for the event.  Groups of ten or more receive discounts and free tickets.  Hell’s Gates is located at 329 Harmony Church Rd. in Dawsonville, Ga.  You may also call the reservation line at 888-295-0099.
