Although Detroit, Michigan can get pretty rough, 45 miles to the west of it is really Hell.
Just to lighten things up a bit, this diabolically-named Michigan hamlet will be soon be celebrating its annual
Hellfest.
Associated Press
reports that the highlight of this celebration is an “all-hearse car show,” followed by a procession of “casket-carrying cars.”
Sounds like… fun?
Just Hearse ‘N Around, “the Hell-based car club,” certainly thinks so. Its co-founder, Frank Hendeen, has high hopes of reclaiming a Guiness World Record that was set back in 2011 “when 51 vehicles made the parade.”
Of course, there's always the Netherlands to contend with.
In 2012, that country set a record of its own by way of a “107-strong hearse contingent.”
Plus, not everyone is a die-hard fan of Hellfest. Some
local funeral homes have been hell-bent on avoiding this whole scene because they think that it’s just too “weird.”
