I can’t believe we’re already at the second-to-last chapter of Hell Comes With Wood Paneled Doors!
In an old church along Route 666, The O’Briens face off against the sinister force that has possessed Lucky.
This week, the O’Briens begin the day in the Texas Panhandle, at Cadillac Ranch. After a stop in New Mexico to look at rattlesnakes, Lucky’s true nature is revealed.
Mary’s worst fears are realized during a stop at a campground in Texas.
With only $5 to their name, the O’Briens hit a bingo hall in the hope that Mary can turn $5 into something more.

The O’Briens visit Clyde McAllister’s Gator Village and Civil War Memorial, where something really bad happens to Lucky.

When Michael’s put in charge of caring for Lucky, things go very wrong and Mary becomes very angry! Fortunately, there’s a moment of peace between the morning mayhem and arriving at Clyde McAllister’s Gator Village and Civil War Memorial.
Because nothing says Christmas like Mexican wrestling masks and surf music, here are a few tunes by Los Straitjackets to put you in a festive mood.
Michael wakes up to something moving outside the tent, and the Inferno gets Michael alone…
Lucky launches his most blatant attack against Michael yet, and the O’Briens visit Elvis Presley’s Graceland. There, Mary’s life is changed forever.
Today I’m recording one of my favorite chapters in Hell Comes With Wood Paneled Doors.
Lucky taunts Michael again, and the twins go missing inside Mammoth Cave. When all’s back to normal, the O’Brien’s belch and fight around the campfire.
The owners of the campground invite the O’Briens to breakfast, where a creepy prayer and an amorous Lucky send Michael to the bathroom for an escape from the madness. There, Michael finds something beneath the sink that makes him wish he stayed at the table.
Much of the United States is experiencing an arctic blast and preparing for the mad rush of Thanksgiving.
A stop at a campsite results in Mary and Margie fighting over June’s ashes. After Michael tells James about Lucky’s possession, the Inferno launches its most vicious attack against Michael yet.
Back on the road, the Inferno shows its true nature, Lucky’s transformation takes another wicked turn, and Michael becomes a firefighter.
When the O’Briens stop in the hills of West Virginia to pick up Aunt Margie, James spends time with Michael’s uncle, Otis, while Michael is forced to hang out with his creepy cousin, Daryl. It’s an up-close look at the crooked branch of Michael’s family tree.
As the O’Briens pull into Aunt Margie’s driveway and Michael gets his first glimpse of her house, he thinks about his family history and where it all went wrong.
To all the new visitors visiting roadtripfromhell.com from Belgium: if my high school French allowed me to say more than just “Je m’appele Christophe. Je suis américain. J’habite au Texas,” or had I picked up more Flemish from the foreign exchange student from Belgium in my school 23 years ago, I’d give you all a proper thank you!
Finally on the road, the O’Briens’ trip to pick up Aunt Margie in West Virginia begins with an argument. Things only go downhill from there.
The morning the O’Brien’s get ready to leave for their road trip to the Grand Canyon, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. The dysfunctional family pulls out of the driveway in angry silence shortly after their station wagon, The Inferno, gives its first hint that something about the car isn’t quite right.
Michael ponders what strange force has kept his parents together, while James and Michael’s mother, Mary, strike a series of deals regarding The Inferno and Mary’s pet Chihuahua, Lucky. Also witness the opening moves in the ongoing mental chess match that Michael plays with his evil younger siblings, Elvis and Olivia.
When Michael O’Brien’s father, James, buys a new car just in time for the family vacation, he signs away more than his old ’74 Gremlin as a trade in.
