At the end of the episode, when someone finally chooses 'Heaven', Mary Cooper shouts "We Got One!". This is the famous line shouted by co-star Annie Potts in Ghostbusters - de geisterjäger (1984).
In the late 80s/early 90s, Halloween "Hell Houses" were very common, at least in Texas. Many churches took the opportunity to capitalize on the scary nature of Halloween and present an "alternative" to standard haunted houses. As in Young Sheldon, one section of the house typically was uncomfortably heated and a "demon" guided visitors through several rooms which depicted various sins. The visitors were then sent to an air-conditioned "Heaven", which was dramatically lit, contained snacks, and prayer partners were available to anyone who wished to confess. Hell Houses fell out of favor around the year 2000, as fewer churches leaned into "hell fire & damnation" rhetoric.
As most East Texas homes are single story, without a basement, most Hell Houses in East Texas would shuffle visitors into plywood "boxes", meant to be coffins, which would open to the Heaven side after about 30 seconds of dark, claustrophobic terror. The experience Veronica had was much less traumatic, as she simply ran from the group, upstairs, to Mary.
