Lights Out Night at Laurels of Horror Haunted House“I consider myself a horror House aficionado. This has to be one of the BEST I have been to in a decade. The scares are brilliant and the whole set up is awesome for horror fans. Run to catch this for the season. A+”

“The actual haunted house was super creepy, had different areas/themes, and there’s definitely a possibility you could pee a little if you’re scared easily. Overall, the actors stayed in character, definitely played their role and providing a great atmosphere. Go check them out!”

“This place is huge and there are so many different set ups that you go through.”

– Sharnitta R.

“Hands down, the best haunted house I’ve ever been to!!!! Great value for the price as well. I went with a group of 4 people and we had a BLAST! I got startled so many times, it was awesome! Laurels house of horror knows how to do it right! Also, this was by far the longest haunted house I’ve been too as well. Most other ones I have been to were about half of the distance and time inside. Great actors and great theme! You won’t be disappointed.”

– Daniel B.

“One of the best haunts I’ve visited in the East coast. Top notch production.”
