I actually have no clue what this could be in reference to haha. I've just used this name for the last 20 years or so and haven't ever really attributed a reason for it.
Most people just think it refers to some form of getting high, but this is the first time I've ever heard someone to refer to Zoot in this way haha
There's a night club Detroit that was a church, then abandoned, and then an illegal rave hotspot (late-90s) before it went legit before the cops could have it torn down — and they really leaned into the "desecration of hallowed ground" thing during the latter two versions. (Henry Rollins even complimented them to that end during one of his storytelling events there ['99, IIRC?])
FWIW: in the US, churches & related buildings are NOT subject to building codes & similar safety regulations, so DO NOT BUY/RENT them without thoroughly inspecting the structure, documented history, and fine print!! 🤢🥲 "Insurance" will not save you or your money — as if it would anyway, in this era. 🤌🏼
Sorry, I'm just now seeing that you beat me to it by a couple hours. 😜 Here's my favorite version of that song. (a travesty that it's not available as a standalone track, IMHO)

Did they leave the beacon on again, which just happens to be cross shaped?

A little bit of peril is good for you.

Only if you want to end up in a vampire orgy. So yes.

The tricky part is: getting bit only once and making it out in one piece instead of being a snack. Or, no, wait - was that werewolves? I forget.

Clearly that's where the best loot is.

Eh. Maybe if it was purple loot.

There's a light burning in the fireplace.
There's a light, light in the darkness of everybody's life.

Take off your pants first and slam open the door when you enter. That removes you from the horror genre.

I suggest you hold out for a Scooby-snack.

If you're too old for the priest, maybe.

No one's too old to hate-fuck a priest. 🤷🏼♂️

Some people have no survival instincts. Those idiots would tell you to stay out. Go in, that's where the free drugs are.

Might as well, seeing as you're already in there.

I appreciate you for this link. I know the scene but never would have thought of it again b/c of my previous disgust.
