Terror on Laura Street is a 20+ year operating home haunt in La Habra, California from creator Alex Burkhardt that expertly uses the space of a single garage to send guests through tight hallways packed to the brim with details and scare actors. This home haunt creates well designed hallways with numerous masks and dummies hidden within the walls, so that when the scares do come (and there’s a lot)—they are fully unexpected, often arising from the third or fourth dummy you come across. The experience should last anywhere from three to five minutes, depending on how scared you are, but we took a little longer to appreciate all the details.

While all rooms or hallways in Terror on Laura Street snake back and forth to make the haunt feel much larger than it actually is, each area is themed differently to force audiences to face a plethora of phobias that they may harbor. From a classic Victorian manor with dozens of arms outstretching from the walls, a fireplace, and a suit of armor; to a living a doll room with floating candles and ventriloquist dummies; to a catacomb lined with skulls and the undead; a final clown area lined by ticket booths, evil jack in the boxes, and neon messages warning you not to look at them—there’s tons of scares in Terror on Laura Street to be had.
