ALBANY, Ore - Most parents check through their kids Halloween candy for unwrapped goodies or expired candy bars. But one family tell KVAL their child was given a booklet that had cartoons of kids going to hell.

The cover of booklet shows a smiling, cartoon witch standing over her cauldron with the words "Happy Halloween." But open it up, and this booklet has anything but happy endings.

It follows child trick-or-trickers who die and end up in Hell.

"I think it's wrong," says one Albany father who does not want to reveal his name.

He tells KVAL his 7-year old daughter got this booklet, which looks like any old comic book, while trick or treating in downtown Albany. He says the cartoons have traumatized her.

In one scenario, 3 boys enter a haunted house and fall down a trap door to hell. A demon awaits them at the bottom and says, "Welcome to the Abyss."

In another scene, a boy trick-or-treating on Halloween is hit by a car. He goes to Hell where he is told he will spend eternity. "Welcome to the Abyss, Timmy," says the cartoon devil. "You'll be here for ETERNITY...Because you died in your sins."

"I really don't understand why somebody would do some horrible thing like this," says the Albany man. His says his daughter now has a lot of questions about going to hell. "And I don't know exactly how to answer them," he says.

On the back of the book is a phone number for the Brownsville Mennonite Church. Pastor Arlen Krabill says those booklets do belong to the church but they were not supposed to be given out on Halloween.

He says a member of the church found them in a box and distributed them himself.

"It wasn't even necessarily representing our church," he says. "It was just one individual who wanted to give the message out - the serious message - of God out on Halloween."

Although Pastor Krabill's  church does not celebrate Halloween, he says they do not believe children who do will go to Hell.

Still, the father we spoke to strongly believes this was a trick, that made its way into his daughter's bag of treats.

"I think it's up to the parent if they want to teach their child about God and life," he says. "I don't think it's appropriate to scare little children to go to church."

Pastor Krabill says he is sorry that these were handed out. He says he has spoken with the church member who distributed them.

The booklets were made by "Chick Publications." The company puts out many religious booklets and cartoons similar to this one.
