Inside a Haunted Abandoned Theater

"A once-abandoned movie theater now occupied by the macabre."
--Washington Post

The Old Cinema Complex

Laurel Haunt

Laurel’s House of Horror occupies the “Old Movie Theater” cinema complex, nestled in the back corner of Laurel Centre Mall. The historic theater was abandoned by its former occupants years ago. Having had their own paranormal experiences on the property, the owners first invited the Chesapeake Ghost Hunters to do an analysis of the property. During their investigation, they found that there are indeed signs of other-worldly activity at the location. Since then, many other ghost hunting groups have spent time investigating and observing. Most recently, Charm City Paranormal has started to document their own experiences and activity in the complex. The creepy, old theater, home now to haunted attractions, is indeed a bona-fide haunt on its own.

Creating frightening, haunted memories for visitors since 2014, Laurel's House of Horror has grown its footprint and creepy factor within the abandoned Laurel movie theater. The attractions offer sensory overload, a chilling sense of anticipation, and fear with several new exhibits.  New and unique escape rooms are open throughout the year and for private events and special dates.  The elaborate House of Horror feature starts up again each September with new themed areas and special guests. During the Fall Halloween season, Laurel's House of Horror and Escape Room is usually open each Friday, Saturday and Sunday through mid-October, and even more dates in late October, with an additional two dates in early November.
