Hell House LLC

In your opinion,

What happened that night at the Abaddon Hotel?

I don't know.

- You want to know what I think happened that night?

I have no idea.

- Breaking news, just reaching us now.

Tragedy at a Halloween haunted house in Abaddon.

- To this day, I can't give you an answer to that question.

- Well, Hell House was a real tragedy on many levels.

From what we're hearing,

the opening night of this haunted house tour,

ended in disaster.

Multiple deaths, but police aren't answering

any of our questions.

- You had older victims and younger victims,

these are people who are paying for the scare experience

in a controlled environments, but in the end,

what they got was total chaos.

- A small abandoned hotel was transformed

into a haunted attraction.

It was due to run tours

the next few weeks through Halloween.

- We're not sure if anybody from the company

has made it out alive as of right now.

Shaking tour-goes appear to not really know

what was going on either.

- I been waiting on line for about 5 minutes now,

and I just see all these bunch of people coming out.

I'm like, "Dude, where do I go?"

No, we had no idea.

We still don't know.

- Whenever people ask me what happened in Hell House,

I tell them, "You watch the video, you tell me."

- How many people are they letting in at a time?

It's a long wait.

I think we're next.

It's exciting.

We've been waiting for you.

I hope you all enjoy your stay.

Was that supposed to happen?

I don't think so.

Technical difficulties on opening night.

- We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go!

Hurry up!

Get out of here!

Go, go!

Oh my God!

- Nobody knew what to make of the YouTube video,

and then the 911 tape leaked and

that just confused people even more.

911, what's your emergency?

What's the problem, Miss?

I don't know!

There's something...

Is someone hurt?

I'm sorry, I can't hear you.

- Please hurry, I don't want to die.

The cause of death is now

vaguely being blamed on a severe malfunction.

What exactly malfunctioned isn't clear,

and authorities aren't saying.

All we have from that night is

the video the tour-goer shot uploaded to YouTube

before the police got a hold of it.

The 911 call was the only other thing

and, that didn't really tell us much

of what was going on inside.

Then this photographer, Martin Cliver comes along,

gets inside the hotel,

takes pictures,

puts it up on the internet.

It starts to raise some real questions

that the town does now want answers to.

The hardest part?

The hardest part was probably the silence.

Everything was very hush hush.

There were gag orders put on

everyone involved with the case.

Cops, lawyers, even the families of the victims

were left pretty much completely in the dark.

It was impossible to get anyone to talk to us at first.

So, I wanted to see inside of the hotel, first and foremost.

Asking questions was, like I said, getting me nowhere.

So...

I went to the hotel

and I walked around the back

and found a little window

and knocked out the boards

and climbed inside.

The blood on the floor,

what do you make of that?

- Well, it certainly debunks the theory

that there was some sort of a gas leak,

which we all knew was bullshit in the first place.

So, I eventually found my way to the basement door.

It was blown off it's hinges,

like someone had forced their way through it

and, I'm not gonna lie,

I stood to the side of the door,

and pointed the camera down the stairs,

and just snapped a few pictures.

I've seen a lot.

I've been to a lot of scary places in my career,

and there was no way I was going down those stairs.

No way.

Would you please

state your name and age for the camera?

- I'm Sara Havel, I'm 30 years old.

And you were a member

of Hell House since it's beginning in 2002, correct?

Yeah.

- And, since the night of the tragedy,

where have you been, Sara?

- I've been staying with family, mostly.

Have you been coping okay?

I'm in a better place now.

I'm happy to hear that.

If you don't mind, I just want to jump right into it

because obviously the town's decision to conceal

all aspects of this tragedy from the public

have caused conspiracy theorists and normal people alike

to speculate on their own.

It was the smart thing to do.

Why?

- If people knew what really went on inside of that house,

it would've been hard for them to deal with.

Well, I guess...

I guess that's what we're all wondering,

what really happened...

Can you help?

What do you want to know?

Well, can you take us

back to the beginning and go from there?

What is that?

It's everything.

Everything that went on in the house was taped.

Mostly by Paul and Tony, some tour-goers.

- How did you get these and not the police?

I got to them first.

- Why didn't you give them to the police?

You'll see.

Mitchell?

Mitchell's gonna go 'head and just

start looking through those, if that's alright?

Sara, have you watched those?

No.

- So you have no idea what's on them?

Hell House.

C'mon,

it's a recent film, you can get this.

- Post apocalyptic, set in New York.

You can get this.

That's good.

- C'mon, it came out literally a year ago.

I can't...

I'm drawing a blank.

Last clue.

Alright, Will Smith.

No, Hitch was not...

I love Hitch.

Shocker.

It's funny.

It is and I stand behind it.

Paul.

Don't knock it.

It's a good movie.

Is it...

Okay, is it...

Escape From New York.

For those watching,

Sara's asking if it's a 1981 Kurt Russel joint.

So then, it's not.

No, not even close, c'mon.

- So, have we all just sort of given up

on navigating guys, am I doing all of it?

Jesus Christ.

I think that Alex has it under control, right buddy?

I do have it under control.

Thank you, Paul.

Yes, it's straight up ahead.

I recognize the road.

You're not lost.

We're almost there, alright?

And in today's edition of.

Why Are Mac and Alex Sill Fighting,

Mac and Alex are still fighting.

They're really mad.

It gets so passionate.

- Is that what he's like in the sack.

Guys, I'm really hungry.

I'm starving.

- Do you want to pee or anything.

- Yeah, can we pee out there in the grass, please?

I mean do you...

Tell me, tell me this,

alright, if you're going to a haunted house for Halloween

and this is the drive over,

tell me this isn't creepier than New York City.

Look, look, look, look, look, look,

there it is, there it is, there it is.
