I would hate to see you go, hate to be the one that told you so
It is time.
Time to visit Hell House again, that is:
They've upgraded their introductory notecard a tad:
I admit, I'd adore if someone took on this particular cemetery guardian in mesh.
I realized I'd never walked around the grounds that surround the Belasco mansion. So I did just that, taking a stroll past the weeping angel. I found part of an older, ruined structure, with some undefined mist beyond it. I did my best to command it to manifest, but it remained stubbornly unclear.
Okay, I have two very serious problems with this. And I'm angry about both of them.
1. This house has never had anything copyright-infringing from a known video game property before. Horror films, yes, horror shows, yes, horrific or disturbing art that may not be in the public domain, that's also a possible. I am not saying that there were no instances of copyright infringement in Hell House before this. BUT...
2. This is not just a game rip. It is a game rip of a child. And copyright infringement or not, model or not, lump of soulless, nonreactive mesh or not, the owners of this sim are PUTTING AN IMAGE OF A GODDAMNED CHILD ON AN ACTIVE SEX SIM HAVE YOU LOST YOUR GODDAMNED MINDS.
Moving on before I start throwing things.
All right, inside the house, then, wandering around for a bit, listening to the whispers. Moving idly by whim between the first, second and third floors; there are a weird amount of staircases going in all directions. This version of Sebastian seems new, however. (Censorship mine, yes.)
I did my best to crop out as much of the very...active...side stage manifestations, but I don't remember finding this room before, either. Behind the curtains, there's an RLV-enabled cage, a spectral mistress of the backstage, and a rather hungry-seeming wild cat.
And, in a room full of moaning, writhing ghosts next to a sputtering fire, the wall art stood out to me--seemingly radiating from the walls, unmoving, yet seeming more mobile than all the activity in the house. Likely this was also there in previous visits, but I was never drawn to it before. (Censorship again mine; original is not censored in any way.)
So, end result? Still worth going. Still very adult. Still one of the better haunts in SL, despite the staggering bad taste of using the child Alma game rip from F.E.A.R. I'm subtracting a skull for that.
If you go, do expect to see nudity, active sex animations, and sex furniture; hear moaning, whispers, pleas and vile imprecations; and now there's at least one RLV trap in the mix. Most of the animations are human, though there's at least one elf from World of Warcraft being happily plowed on a coffee-table, so...some of the choices are a tad jarring. Still, it more or less makes a cohesive whole, and it does match the film very well. Full...well. Four marks.
And you might want to avoid the side of the grounds with Alma, just on general principle. After all, the ageplay incident that started off the whole fear-of-anything-small on SL took place between a fully adult woman in a child avatar, and a fully adult man in an adult avatar. (The child brothel later, seen in several news broadcasts in Germany, I maintain was thrown up on the spot to give someone salacious footage, and did not reflect the originating incident.) But that was enough--intent itself was enough for the entirety of Germany to throw a fit in the Lab's direction, and boy, did they react.
So you will understand why I get so irate when I find people being this boneheaded on sex sims. It's a bad look. And, the wrong photographer posting the wrong image in the wrong way, it becomes a potential actionable one. Because in a virtual world, proof is nothing, perception is all. It's been proven time and again. And no thank you, I'd rather we just avoid that entirely.
Time to visit Hell House again, that is:
Terrifying, darkly erotic interactive attraction: the infamous ghost filled Belasco mansion, the baroque Mount Everest of haunted houses. Be warned! Explicit sex, BDSM, horror and torture images. Ghosts, death, debauchery.Now, last year when I covered this haunt, I was looking for changes. The time before that I was just covering it and its link to one of my favorite haunted-house movies, The Legend of Hell House. Hell House in SL is still based on that film, and that very particular haunting.

They've upgraded their introductory notecard a tad:
WARNING:Also good to know. Onward!
This dark and dreaded place is not called Hell House for nothing. It is, indeed, a very disturbing and twisted "Palace of Perversions" filled with nightmarish and sometimes pornographically explicit sexual imagery. So if you are likely to be offended by such an environment, please, for pity's sake, don't subject yourself to the many sensual and not-so-sensual sights and numerous frightful occurrences which abound within the walls of Hell House! This experience is NOT for the faint of heart and is very much FOR ADULTS ONLY.
You have been WARNED.
In addition, while not actually a "sex-club" in the usual SL sense of that term, Hell House's past history is one of total license and debauchery with no limits and no rules. So, in keeping with that twisted tradition -- and bowing to popular demand -- Hell House NOW features pose-balls, sex furniture, and other erotically interactive items in specific areas throughout the house and grounds. These include two sex carpets in the Master Bedroom Suite, a Sex Grave in the Cemetery and nearby Sex Ruins, a Sex Throne in the Gazebo, poseballs in the Greenhouse, Steam Room and Shower, and a full Sex-Bed in the old, dilapidated tin Shed! So... ENJOY!!
