Get ready to step into a world where fear rules and survival is the only goal. This summer, the Laurel House of Horror invites you to experience a haunted house event like no other, inspired by the chilling movie The Purge. Mark your calendar for July 11 and prepare for a night filled with spine-tingling scares, heart-pounding excitement, and immersive horror that will leave you breathless.
But the thrills don’t stop there. Just a couple of months later, from September 11 to 13, the Tidewater Horror Con will bring together horror fans, celebrities, and cosplayers for a unique celebration of all things spooky. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of horror films, love dressing up in your favorite costumes, or want to meet some of the biggest names in the genre, this event is not to be missed.
Step Inside The Purge at Laurel House of Horror
Imagine walking through a neighborhood where the rules are thrown out the window and chaos reigns. The Purge-themed haunted house at Laurel House of Horror captures this terrifying concept perfectly. Every corner hides a new horror, every shadow could be your last.
What to Expect
Authentic Atmosphere: The set design replicates the eerie, dystopian world of The Purge with incredible detail. From boarded-up houses to flickering street lamps, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped right into the movie.

Why This Event Stands Out
