Haunted House

My version would be an adults ONLY haunted house to be clear.

They should all speak calmly... but there should be some obvious signs of "NOT FINE", like lovingly caressing a dagger while they say it, maybe offering you a drink with signs it might be poisoned (no real poison because we don't want to actually kill anyone, just make it scary), maybe one or more of the women should be naked and looking a bit demented, maybe one or more of the women could be engaged in target practice (use proper props to make it safe for real though)... maybe do makeup on one so that it looks like she has slit her wrists or have one positioned so that it appears she is nonchalantly preparing to hang herself (again, to actually do this, prop safety is VERY important)... 

One or two of the women should be Trans and at least one intersexed for inclusiveness and also to add layers to the emotional depth of the project. 

One or more should have what appears to be the corpse(s) of her lover(s) at her feet. One could also be dressed up as Hecate (those who know what I mean, know what I mean)... Maybe one of the women should have a name tag reading "Lorena Bobbit" and appear otherwise normal...

Just to make it a true haunted house, One woman should be depicted as a ghost... And maybe one demon lady too, just for fun.

Just to make sure the gay guys are affected too, at least one femme-boy should be included as well, and at least one old lady who is obviously Mom or Grandma. One should be holding a torch so it looks like she is about to set her wedding dress on fire, too.

At least one woman should be portrayed in a way it is obvious she is being trafficked and holding her head up high and at least one other should be an obvious victim of DV (at least one male perp and at least one lesbian perp to make sure no one walks away feeling too safe). At least one should be preparing for her execution for religious reasons. At least one should have an obvious disability, one should be anorexic and another morbidly obese, and one should appear homeless.

At least one should appear to have a drug habit, one should appear to be an alcoholic, one should be depicted as a compulsive gambler, and one a raging porn/sex addict.

The final exhibit rather than being the most obviously shocking, should have a woman on her knees, dressed appropriately and looking completely normal, saying "I'm fine" softly and just staring off into space. Aftercare should be a thing, kind of like some churches do, but instead of preaching at you while you enjoy snacks and coffee there should be information brochures about mental health and community resources in general and one or two licensed therapists as well as one or two peer support people available to provide on-the-spot help. There should be an area for people to mix and mingle, exchange numbers if desired, etc. as well... AND there should be a couple of exits available for the person who panics and needs to bolt.
