SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Actress Laura Hunter has landed her first starring role in a film, playing Danielle in the horror picture Ouija Hell House, a production from 7th Street Studios. This achievement signals a fresh phase in Hunter’s career following more than two decades of part-time work across film, television, commercials, hosting, and live broadcasts.
In Ouija Hell House, a single mother—portrayed by Hunter—relocates her daughters into her late grandmother’s farmhouse, hoping for a new beginning. When the family uncovers an old Ouija board, increasingly eerie incidents begin to occur, and a malevolent presence emerges that has no plans of letting them go.
“Having spent twenty years acting on a part-time basis, earning my first lead role feels both thrilling and profoundly significant,” Hunter stated. “Every shoot, audition, ad, minor part, and long day on location helped prepare me for this moment. I am thankful to the team behind Ouija Hell House for entrusting me with Danielle and allowing me to make this leap forward.”
Hunter’s previous film credits include The Death of Snow White, 2:59, Kill Craft, Friday the 13th Vengeance 2: Bloodlines, Nightmare on Elm Street/Up All Night, Conversion, Between Night, Timetravel_0, and Bloody Mary. Her performances have spanned horror, dramatic roles, character parts, and supporting work, gradually building the experience needed to carry a feature film.
On television, she has appeared on The Blox, where she earned the title “Most Investable,” the competition series 4 Days to Save the World (which she won), Food Network’s Food Wars, Lifetime’s Outlaw Profit, TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras, HGTV’s What’s Up with That House, and international shows in Germany and Japan. She also hosted ten episodes of The Home Show.
Her commercial résumé includes national and regional campaigns for Mega Bloks, Paula’s Choice, Mattress Firm, Sleep Train, and other well-known brands.
Though Hunter’s career developed outside the typical full-time Hollywood track, she stayed dedicated to acting and refining her skills. Her journey reflects the perseverance of working actors who accumulate experience one role at a time, often over many years, before getting the chance to headline a motion picture.
Ouija Hell House stands as the result of years of persistence, hands-on learning, and ongoing growth as a performer.
Ouija Hell House is currently streaming on Hulu, Tubi, and Prime Video.
